Tutorial

Every feature, one at a time

There isn't much to learn — that's the point. Here's exactly what each part looks like and does.

1. Sign in with just your email

No password to create or remember. Enter your email, get a link, click it, you're in.

2. Write one line

Today's date is already there. Write whenever something's worth noting — up to 200 characters — and save.

TUE, AUG 11 2026

Found a great new trailhead near the house.

3. See the trail

Every past entry lines up below today's, oldest at the bottom, so you can scroll straight through the history of a topic.

The trail so far

Mon, Aug 10

Rain again — stuck to the paved loop instead.

Sun, Aug 9

First run since the injury. Slow, but no pain.

Sat, Aug 8

Rest day. Legs still sore from Thursday.

4. Keep more than one topic journal

A dropdown at the top switches between journals — your running log, a stock you're watching, a project, whatever you're keeping an eye on. Up to 100, all in one place.

5. Export everything as a PDF

One click bundles every journal into its own nicely formatted PDF, all zipped into a single download — a portable copy that's always yours, no matter what.
