2.26.0

🎉 For those who don’t prefer gender-specific icon, we’ve added more logo options for you! And it’s free for everyone!

My motivation for allowing users to choose any icon comes from the fact that journals are private. Sometimes, using an unrecognizable icon can help hide the app from others. Plus, everyone can pick any icon they like, while our identity remains the warm Girl logo!
