## Description

Try the whole, unrestricted app for free for 60 days, two whole months to decide.
If you love it you can buy it for the price of a cup of coffee. No subscriptions, ever.

Your Journal, Your Way.
MyOwnJournal is designed with the lover of custom, handwritten journals in mind. It’s just you, a stylus, and a page you crafted yourself. MyOwnJournal gives you the pleasure of a handwritten journal with all the convenience of a digital toolbox.

CUSTOMISE IT
Change the look of the app with our included fonts and backgrounds or upload your own images and art to create the vibe you want. Everything is highly customisable.

BUILD THE PAGES YOU WANT
Style a layout once and reuse it as often as you like, or make every page different. Create new pages in-entry with a swipe of your finger and a very satisfying page curl. Get creative with:
• Custom stationery
• Decorations & stickers
• Your own images you can move where you want, rotate, resize & pin
• Lines, graph and dotted grids you can adjust, add & remove at any time
• Fully customisable bujo-style modules and custom templates

SEARCH & TAGS
Search your typed text and handwritten pages for words and phrases, so a thought you scribbled months ago is just a few keystrokes away. Use the Tag feature to label you entries with keywords you can search for. Smart recognition handles your scrawls, while tags catch the rest.

PRIVACY MATTERS
Lock any journal behind strong encryption. Locked journals stay unreadable; text, drawings and images alike — until you unlock them. No account to create, nothing uploaded, no data collected.
What you write stays between you and the page.

EXPORT AND BACKUPS
Export any entry to PDF. Back up your entries in app or save a back up to your device and easily restore them.

TRY THE WHOLE THING FOR 60 DAYS
Every feature, free, for two months. No account, no card, nothing collected. When the trial ends you keep permanent access to everything you’ve written. You can still read it, search it, export it to PDF, and unlock your locked journals. Buy the app for the price of a cup of coffee, and it’s all yours forever. Unlimited journals. Unlimited entries. Unlimited pages. Yours to keep. Nothing is metered, nothing is gated behind a counter, and there is no monthly fee.

MyOwnJournal. It’s your journal, your way.
