Check your iCloud sync status in Settings Settings now shows whether your journeys are syncing with iCloud. If syncing isn't available, journeybot tells you what to check, so you'll know right away if you're signed out or iCloud access is turned off. Separate backgrounds for Light and Dark modes Choose one background for Light mode and another for Dark mode: sunny by day, moodier at night. Switch between them in Settings. Dark mode uses your current background until you choose a new one.

Import a packing list you already have Paste a checklist from Notes, pick a file from Files or another app, or bring in a spreadsheet as CSV. journeybot groups the items into categories and lets you review everything before it's added, so you can drop what you don't need. Anything you'd already checked off arrives packed. Categories that match how you pack Add your own packing categories and manage them from a journey's packing list or from a template. Rename them, change the icon, merge, reorder, or delete. Touch and hold a category's header right in the list for the same options. Imported items go into the categories you already use instead of piling into new ones. Also in this release Your medications list now sorts alphabetically as it grows. Touch and hold a category's header to mark everything in it as packed. And picking a destination now opens transport selection right away, so it's easier to set the right one from the start.

Keep the screen on while you pack The packing list menu has a new Keep Screen Awake switch that stops the display from locking, so you can set your phone down between items without the screen going dark. It's off by default, and once you turn it on it applies to every journey's packing list.
