Attachments

Ayumi supports attaching various file types to your journal entries.

Supported File Types

Type	Formats
Images	JPEG, PNG, HEIC, GIF, etc.
Documents	PDF
Audio	M4A, MP3, WAV, etc.
Video	MP4, MOV, etc.

Adding Attachments

1. Open an entry in the editor
2. In the Attachments section, tap Add File (Add Attachment on macOS)
3. Select one or more files from the file picker
4. Files are automatically copied to the entry’s assets folder

From the Photo Library (iOS)

The file picker cannot reach your photo library, so the editor has a separate Add Photo button on iOS. Pick up to 10 photos or videos at once and they are imported the same way as picked files.

File Organization

Attachments are stored alongside the Markdown entry:

2026/01/15/
├── my-entry.md
└── my-entry.assets/
    ├── photo.jpg
    ├── document.pdf
    └── voice-memo.m4a

Markdown links are automatically inserted into the entry body, making them compatible with Obsidian and other Markdown editors.

Viewing Attachments

In the entry detail view, all attachments are listed with their filenames. Images show a thumbnail; other types show an icon for their kind. An attachment whose file is no longer on disk is marked File missing and cannot be opened.

Tap a row to open the attachment in a preview inside Ayumi:

Type	Preview
Images	Pinch to zoom, double-tap to zoom in and out, drag to pan
PDF	Scrollable document view
Audio	Play/pause with a scrubbable position slider and elapsed/total time
Video	Standard video player
Other	No preview; on macOS you can reveal the file in Finder

The preview’s toolbar has a share button, so you can send the original file to another app without leaving Ayumi.

Removing Attachments

Remove attachments from the editor view. The file will be deleted from the assets folder.
