Most trading journals collect data. Hammer tells you what it means. Log a trade in about 15 seconds — copy the P&L and ROI % from your exchange, pick the strategy, add a one-line lesson. Hammer does the rest: it reads your whole journal and tells you where you're leaking edge, in plain words, with the money attached. WHAT'S COSTING YOU "Busy days drag you down: −1,149.34 across 7 trades." "8–10 AM is your worst window." "Bounce is losing money." Insights compares each slice of your trades against the rest and ranks what it finds by money, with the trades behind every finding. It only speaks up when there are enough trades to trust the pattern — and "nothing stands out" is a real answer. YOUR WEEK, IN WORDS Every week, a short written review: what happened, what stood out, one thing to try next. On devices with Apple Intelligence it's written by Apple's on-device model, so your journal never leaves your iPhone, iPad or Mac. A DASHBOARD THAT FITS ON ONE SCREEN Net P&L, win rate, profit factor, average win/loss, expectancy, drawdown and streak. Cumulative and daily P&L charts. Performance by strategy, objective, timeframe and exit reason. A CALENDAR YOU'LL ACTUALLY OPEN Every day coloured by result, weekly totals down the side, and 7-, 30- and 90-day breakdowns. BUILT FOR HOW YOU TRADE Crypto spot and perpetuals, forex and metals, stocks, indices and futures. Log just the result, or add entries, exits and size for averages and R-multiples. Attach chart screenshots. Tag setups, emotions and mistakes. Lock the app with Face ID. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT The free version needs no account and keeps your journal on your device. No ads, no tracking.
