FAQ

A private daily journal that runs in your browser. Every day you get three blank pages, already open and filed under that date. There are no notebooks to create, no folders to choose and no template to pick before you start writing. The three-page rhythm borrows from the morning pages tradition, but nothing requires you to write in the morning or to fill all three.

No. Pages are tied to dates, so a day you skip is simply an empty day — there is no streak to break and nothing to catch up on. The Stats page does track a current streak if you want it, but missing a day costs you nothing and the next day opens exactly the same way.

Whatever the last hour contained. First entries fail most often when they try to be a beginning — an introduction, or an explanation of why you're starting a journal. An ordinary entry that happens to be first works better. If a blank page is the obstacle, our blog has a seven-day starter plan and a set of 120 prompts sorted by mood.

You can write as much as you want within your three pages — there's no character or word limit per page. If you try to create a fourth page on the same day, you'll see a gentle upgrade prompt, but your content is never locked or lost.

Not currently. There is no import path from other journaling apps, and pasting is the only way to bring older entries in. Export runs in the other direction and is available on every plan, so nothing you write here is locked in.

Rich text with headings, bold, italic, underline, colour, highlight and links; bullet lists, numbered lists and checklists; tables; images; file attachments; drawings; and voice recordings. A slash menu inserts any of these blocks. Pages have no character or word limit, so a single page can hold a line or several thousand words.

Yes. The drawing canvas is a block you insert anywhere in a page, so a sketch or diagram can sit between two paragraphs rather than living in a separate app. It has a pen, highlighter, eraser and lasso. It is a custom canvas built for this app, not a third-party whiteboard.

Yes, both ways. There's a free app on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and Mac, and the web version also runs in Safari on iPad with nothing to install. Either way you can drop a drawing canvas anywhere in a page and write on it with Apple Pencil — your finger keeps scrolling while the Pencil draws, so there's no mode to switch.

Tap to record and the recorder opens in place on the page. The audio is saved to that page with a waveform and playback, and the transcript is stored separately so you can edit the text without touching the recording. There is no separate voice-memo app and no file to name or move afterwards.

Recording works in any modern browser. Automatic transcription uses your browser's built-in speech recognition, which today means Chrome or Safari 14.1 and later, across 15 languages and regional variants. In other browsers you can still record and play back voice notes — you just won't get an automatic transcript.

Yes — there are six themes, six writing fonts and four paper styles (plain, ruled, dotted and grid). The light theme and two of the fonts are on the free plan; the rest are Premium. Two of the four paper styles are Premium.

Search lives on the Calendar, next to the dates, because remembering roughly when something happened is usually easier than remembering what you called it. The Calendar also shows which days have entries, so you can navigate by date alone.

Page text, voice transcripts, text extracted from uploaded images by OCR, link text and addresses, every item in your to-do lists, and image filenames. Handwriting inside drawings is the one exception — drawings are stored as images and are not put through OCR, so words written by hand inside them are not searchable.

Optional labels you can attach to a page at any time, including long after it was written, to follow a thread across dates. Topics are never required — organizing is something you can do later or never, and nothing has to be filed before you write. The free plan allows up to 3 topics; Premium is unlimited.

An automatic collection of everything you have added to your pages, sorted into tabs for Images, Drawings, Attachments, Voice and Links. You never file anything into it — adding a photo to a page also puts it in the Library, still attached to its date.

Yes. Your journal is private by default — there is no public feed, no social layer, and nothing you write is used to train any AI. We don't show ads and we don't sell your writing. Your pages are encrypted in transit and at rest. If you ever want to show someone a single page, you can create a share link yourself; nothing becomes public unless you deliberately do that.

No. Nothing you write is used to train any AI model. We also don't show ads and don't sell your writing. There is no public feed and no social layer in the product at all.

Only if you deliberately create a share link. A share link covers a single day's pages and is generated by you; pages are never public by default, and shared pages are excluded from search engines. Everything else stays behind your own account.

Always. You can export a page as PDF, or export your whole journal as Markdown or PDF from Settings at any time — including on the free plan. We believe your writing belongs to you.

A single page exports as PDF. A whole-journal export produces a ZIP of either Markdown files or PDFs. Markdown is plain text, so it opens in any editor and doesn't depend on this app continuing to exist. Batch export of the whole journal is a Premium feature; per-page PDF export is on the free plan.

No. Deleting an entry is immediate and permanent — there is no trash, no recovery window, and no copy left for us to restore from. That is the direct consequence of not holding on to your writing after you have told us to remove it. If you are unsure about something, export it first: a full export takes seconds and the file sits on your own machine.

You can permanently delete your account and all associated data. As set out in our privacy policy, once an account is deleted we permanently remove the associated data within 30 days. Deletion cannot be undone, so export anything you want to keep first.

Three pages per day with unlimited depth, rich text and checklists, links, images, the drawing canvas, voice recording with transcription, 250 MB of media storage, up to 3 topics, full search, and PDF export. Enough to build a real daily practice.

More pages per day (3, 5, 7, 9 or a custom number instead of a fixed 3), 10 GB of media storage instead of 250 MB, all six themes and all six writing fonts, all four paper styles, unlimited topics, batch export of the whole journal, and priority support.

$5.99 per month, or $49.99 per year — about 30% less than paying monthly. Both include a 7-day free trial.

Yes, 7 days. The free plan itself has no time limit, so a trial is only needed if you want to test the Premium features specifically. If you don't continue, your account stays on the free plan and nothing you wrote is removed.

From Settings, at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period rather than immediately, so you keep Premium access for the time you've already paid for. After it ends, your account returns to the free plan with everything you wrote still there.

Our terms state that we do not provide refunds for partial subscription periods. Because cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you've already paid for, you keep access for that remaining time rather than receiving it back as a refund.

Yes, and the change happens in place on your existing subscription — the price difference is prorated automatically, so you aren't charged twice for an overlapping period. You can also manage payment details and invoices through the billing portal in Settings.

Both exist. We publish an iPhone, iPad and Mac app on the App Store that keeps everything on your device, needs no account and works fully offline. And there's this web version, which runs in any modern browser on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPad, iPhone and Android. They're separate products rather than two halves of one — see the next answer.

Where your writing lives. The app stores everything locally on your device, so it works with no account and no connection, and nothing is uploaded anywhere. The web version keeps your journal in an encrypted account, which is what lets the same journal open on every machine you sign in from. They don't sync with each other, so pick the one that matches what you want: offline and private to one device, or available everywhere.

No — they're separate purchases on separate billing systems, because they're separate products with separate data. Premium on the web is billed by us and unlocks unlimited pages, 10 GB of storage, all themes and fonts and batch export. Premium in the app is billed by Apple at the same price and unlocks unlimited pages, all themes and fonts, unlimited Topics, and iCloud sync between your own Apple devices. Buying one doesn't unlock the other, so only subscribe on the side you actually write on.

Yes. The native Mac app is available now on the App Store, alongside the iPhone and iPad app under the same listing and download link. It works offline and keeps your journal on your device; Premium adds optional iCloud sync across your Apple devices. The separate web version also runs in a browser on Mac and syncs to other browsers, including Windows and Android. The App Store app and web version do not sync with each other.

Yes. It's a PWA, so you can add it to your home screen or dock from your browser and it opens in its own window without browser chrome. That's an install in the practical sense, but it's still the web app rather than a separate native build.

For the web version, yes. It saves your writing to the cloud so you can open it on any device, and while every keystroke is written to a local draft first — so a brief disconnect won't lose what you just typed — lasting backup requires being online. Our iPhone, iPad and Mac app is the opposite: it stores everything on the device and works with no connection at all.

Yes, with no device limit and nothing to sync manually. Sign in on a laptop, a phone and an iPad and all three open the same journal. Writing on one device appears on the others once they're online.

The design makes specific choices to reduce friction: you go straight to Today, no folder setup required, tasks can be captured without labels, and migration is gentle rather than pressured. These choices help anyone who finds complex productivity tools overwhelming — not just people with ADHD diagnoses. The app doesn't diagnose or treat anything.
