## What is General Journal?

General Journal brings journaling and expense tracking into one private daily timeline.

Write a note, log lunch, scan a receipt, track a habit, or talk through the day with your in-app companion. The app keeps money records and life moments together, so spending has context and diary entries do not live in a separate place.

Quick ways to record
• Type everyday expenses in one sentence
• Scan receipts or Taiwan e-invoice QR codes
• Add mood notes, reflections, places, links, and photos
• Use AI to help turn text or photos into structured records
• Keep recurring income and expenses such as rent, salary, subscriptions, and insurance

Review your day
• Chat with a small companion that can read the selected day’s records
• Save the conversation as a diary entry
• Build a Diary Review book with daily highlight cards
• Add timeline photos, stickers, backgrounds, and handwritten decoration
• Share or keep review cards as personal memories

Understand money and rhythm
• Manage cash, bank, card, e-wallet, investment, and settlement accounts
• Track transfers, credit card payments, friend splits, and multi-currency spending
• See category breakdowns, monthly trends, account balances, mood calendars, and photo entries
• Create custom trackers for things like weight, skin, hair, habits, or any private metric

Privacy first
• No app account is required
• Core journal, mood, expense, photo, and account data is stored on your device
• AI features only process the text or images you choose to send
• Export your data and create local backups on your own terms
• Ads are never given your private journal or expense content by the app

General Journal is for quiet daily logging: not a strict budget spreadsheet, not a social network, and not a blank notes app. It is a place to remember what happened, what it cost, and how it felt.

Free to use with ads. Optional in-app purchases unlock higher AI limits, an ad-free experience, more photos per entry, and companion features.
