Between us journal
From the app’s English Help & Guide · Reference release 1.0.15
Between us is a small shared journal for the people participating in the person's private CloudKit share. Either side can post a short entry; participants see the same thread. It's not a chat replacement and it isn't urgent. It's the long-running 'us' of the relationship — the things you'd write in a card if you remembered, the things they want you to know that don't fit a symptom log.
Open it from the person's detail page when they're connected via share link. New entries from their side appear with their name; yours appear with whatever you've set as your carer label.
Who can read entries
Saving keeps your entry on this device first. The journal then shows whether its upload to iCloud was confirmed. An uploaded entry is not a receipt: it does not mean the other person has received or read it. If upload cannot be confirmed, use Retry sharing when the connection is available.
