“So happy with the journal; Notion is a headache.”
The trading journal
you
actually own.
Every trade, note and review stays yours, reviewed the way you trade. A free plugin for Obsidian.
Yours forever. All of it.
Most journals let you export your trades. Your reviews, setups and tags stay behind. With Journalit, everything is already yours.
Learn moreAnimation: exporting from a web journal gives you only your trades, while your reviews, setups, tags and screenshots are left behind. Journalit already has everything on your computer.
Review your way
Write your own review questions for wins and losses. Each answer can lead to the next question, so you get to the real reason.
Learn moreAnimation: a trade review for a losing trade. Answering No opens a follow-up question, FOMO is picked, a plan for next time is typed, and the trade is marked reviewed.

Why We Built This
Most trading journals make your trades feel like rented data. You pay every month to access your own history, and one pricing change can turn your workflow upside down.
Journalit works differently. Your journal stays on your device & is built around the way you review trades instead of someone else's rigid template.
If a platform changes, locks exports, or disappears, your trading history should not disappear with it. Your journal should outlive the app you used to write it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Journalit really free?
The free plan includes unlimited trades, accounts, custom fields, and analytics. Manual journalling works offline. Pro adds Trade Import, automatic Trade Sync for supported brokers, the Economic Calendar, and prop-firm profiles that prefill challenge rules.
Where is my trading data stored?
Journalit saves your journal as markdown files in a folder on your own computer or phone. Network-backed features send only the credentials, provider identifiers, broker reports, or trade data required for the workflow you choose. Your manual notes and analysis stay on your device.
Can I use Journalit offline?
Yes. You can log trades, write notes, view your analytics, and customise your journal without an internet connection. Trade Sync, sign-in and other network-backed features need a connection.
Which brokers and platforms are supported?
Pro includes Trade Import for supported broker exports and automatic Trade Sync for supported brokers. You can also add trades manually from any platform.
Do I need to know Obsidian or how to code?
No. Journalit runs inside Obsidian, a free notes app for desktop and mobile, and you do not need to have used it before. Journalit is built for traders, not developers: everything is point-and-click, with no coding or command line.
Can I track multiple trading accounts?
Yes. Add unlimited trading accounts, view each account separately, or combine selected accounts in portfolio analytics. All of them live in the same journal.
How does Journalit compare to other trading journals?
Journalit keeps your trades, notes and reviews together as files on your device, with analytics, review workflows and optional broker automation built in. The free plan does not limit how many trades you log.
Can I export my data if I switch tools?
Your journal notes are stored as markdown files that can be read with a text editor, copied to another device, backed up, or processed with scripts. Some plugin-managed metadata may still require interpretation by compatible tools.
