IMPORT OPTIONAL TRADE HISTORY Connect a public Hyperliquid wallet address or an Aster read-only API wallet to import completed trades. Connections are optional and EdgeJournal never places orders, transfers funds, or requests custody of assets. KEEP CONTROL OF YOUR DATA Your journal is stored on your device. Create complete .ejj checkpoints that include trades, accounts, playbooks, notes, tags, preferences, and attached images. Restore a checkpoint whenever you need it. SHARE SCREENSHOTS INTO THE JOURNAL Send an image from Photos directly to EdgeJournal with the Share Extension, then attach it to a new or existing trade. BUILT FOR FOCUS No account is required. No ads. No analytics SDK. English and Ukrainian are supported, along with light and dark appearance. EdgeJournal is a journaling and analytics tool.
