a journal with a banana in it.
write on your phone, or photograph pages from the notebook you already keep. skriblio turns the handwriting into text you can search, and keeps the original page with the entry.
the first two weeks are free. after that it's $49.99 a year or $9.99 a month, and apple and google show the price in your currency. the mac and windows banana is included.
write here. or photograph your paper journal.
type straight into skriblio, or take a photo of a page from the notebook you already use. the handwriting becomes text you can search, and the photo stays with the entry exactly as you took it.
you can correct a word the transcription got wrong, and nothing goes off to be typed up until you ask. the notebook stays the notebook, and skriblio is the index.
find the thing you wrote months ago.
everything you type and everything you photograph lands in the same vault, and search reads both. the afternoon you can only half remember comes back by typing one word you know was on the page.
filter by day, photo, rating or favourite. export the lot whenever you like, with or without a plan.
when the page is blank, start here.
journal school has 6 short topics on why people journal and 14 techniques you can put straight onto a page. there are 22 research findings too, in plain language. pick a technique and it opens a page with the headings already there, so you're writing about thirty seconds later. it's educational, and it isn't treatment.
why write things down
what a journal is for, before anyone tells you how to keep one.
how to start
the first page, when you have never kept one.
remember the day
keep one detail so the day is still there later.
when something is stuck
write the hard thing for fifteen minutes, then stop.
turn wishes into plans
the wish, the snag, the next step.
notice the good
name the good part of the day, specifically.
your banana lives on your home screen.
the widget knows one thing, the day you last wrote. tap it and you're on a blank page without opening the app first.
leave it long enough and it may go rogue.
it won't nag you. there's no streak, no badge and no red dot, and twice a week is plenty.
it just starts doing its own thing. stay away and your banana gets restless, packs a bag, and turns up somewhere you didn't expect. write again and it comes home.
pick your banana
there are ten of them and one is yours. you can change later.

and on your desk.
a small banana can sit on your mac or windows screen, doing nothing most of the day. click it and a cream page opens, and what you write there lands in the same vault as the phone.
your journal stays yours.
the banana knows one thing about you, the day you last wrote. it never sees what's on the page, and nothing here trains on your writing.

questions
can i use my paper journal
yes, photograph a page from the notebook you already own and it joins your typed entries in the same vault. skriblio doesn't sell you a notebook, and it doesn't ask you to give yours up.
can skriblio search my handwriting
yes, once you've asked it to type up a page. the text becomes searchable and the original photo stays with the entry, exactly as you took it.
do i have to journal every day
no, and twice a week is plenty. there are no streaks, no badges and nothing counted at you.
what happens if i stop writing
your banana gets restless, and after a while it goes rogue and turns up somewhere else. write again and it comes home. nothing is lost and nothing gets locked.
does the banana see what i write
no, it doesn't. it knows the day you last wrote, and that's the only thing about you it knows.
what's journal school
it's 6 short topics, 14 techniques and 22 research findings, in the app under you. it's educational, and it isn't treatment.
is there a desktop app
a small banana for mac and windows, in both plans. it needs the phone app, and it saves into the same vault.
can i get my journal out
yes, with or without a plan. go to you, then export data, and you get one text file, a pdf to print, or a zip with your original photos.
how does the free trial work
two weeks, and there's no card until you pick a plan. when it ends you can subscribe, or export everything and walk away.
how do i cancel
apple and google handle the subscription. on iphone go to settings, your name, subscriptions, skriblio. on android go to the play store, your profile, payments and subscriptions. you keep access until the period ends.
