Your Progress Journal
Read full descriptionHide full description
Track your habits, daily notes and workouts in one place. See your history and patterns, and use optional AI insights and smart search to reflect on your progress. Money is an optional spending tracker. Connect supported Canadian bank accounts through Plaid Link to sync transactions and balances, view spending categories, and compare periods. Bank linking is available in Settings → Banks. The app cannot make payments or transfer money. You can disconnect a bank from Settings. Ask can read a screenshot and suggest changes to your records. Changes require your confirmation and can be undone. OpenAI features require your explicit permission; regular journaling and Money do not.
