## What is Propel?

Propel turns your work experience into evidence you can actually use.

Whether you're on a placement year, a summer internship or a week of work experience, the things you do each day disappear fast. Propel captures them in about two minutes a day — and at the end, writes them up for you.

LOG IT WHILE IT'S FRESH
• Type a few lines, dictate a voice note, or photograph your handwritten notes
• Entries are cleaned up and tagged automatically as you save them
• A weekly digest turns your entries into a short reflection of the week
• Streaks and a week-at-a-glance view keep the habit going

SEE WHERE THE EVIDENCE IS THIN
• Every entry is mapped to eight employability competencies graduate employers ask about — communication, teamwork, problem solving, planning, commercial awareness, technical fluency, resilience, and initiative
• Your portfolio shows which areas have evidence and which need it, while there's still time to do something about it

TURN IT INTO OUTPUT
• A CV section written from what you actually did
• A LinkedIn post ready to share when the experience ends
• A tutor report for university sign-off
• All generated from your own entries, on your phone

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Everything stays on your device — no account, no upload, no server
• AI features run entirely on-device
• Lock the app with Face ID or a PIN
• Export your data as JSON any time

Built for students and early-career professionals: placement years, internships, insight weeks, part-time jobs — anywhere you're building experience worth remembering.

Start on day one. Two minutes a day. Walk away with the evidence.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-08-23

Deleting Propel used to mean losing your journal. Now you can back it up to a file and restore it later — after a reinstall, or on a new iPhone.

NEW
• Back up my data in Settings saves everything to a single file: your entries, competency tags, and the CV sections, LinkedIn posts, tutor reports and weekly digests Propel has written for you
• Restore from a backup in Settings, or straight from the welcome screen when you reinstall — no need to set up a profile first
• Choose whether to add a backup to what's already there or replace everything. Restoring the same file twice changes nothing

FIXED
• Your generated CV, LinkedIn and tutor documents no longer show as out of date when nothing has actually changed
• Deleting your account now clears saved voice notes and photos too

Everything still stays on your iPhone. Backup files are yours: plain, readable, and saved wherever you choose.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-20

No release notes.
