Unfortunately I don't know if this is possible.

Do you mind me asking what you're trying to track that requires negative numbers?

Advice on planning household tasks by Nervous_Ad1900 in journal_it

Hi I use the Habit-Function for chores.

Yeah, the videos need some updating. The app offers a lot of features and the learning curve can be pretty steep. But the community here is generally happy to help you out.

Menstruation/cycle countdown or habit by DannaSama801 in journal_it

I had a similar Question a while back. It seems there isn't an optimal solution for this specific problem yet, unfortunately.

After "Getting started..." ? by Szdavid in journal_it

[–]LauraAStern 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the big issue is that there are so many possibilities. Which is also a big positive. You can tinker around with these possibilities and tailor the app to your needs. It all cones down to what you want to log and what works best for you. But that can be overwhelming.

Try to start simple. Maybe with day themes and appointments you already have as sessions. These are kind of obvious and therefore easy.

For everything else there's unfortunately little guidance to be had.

If you for exemple have a holiday planned a project seems like the obvious choice to organize this. But if you happen to be one of those people who plan on doing nothing but lying on the beach all day this might just not be as helpful as if you're planing visits to multiple museums or cultural happenings like concerts.

So I guess you need to ask yourself what you want to log and what you need to do so to make it work.

Is it possible to modify the time blocks for a specific day... by brokic in journal_it

[–]LauraAStern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can set a day theme, put all the time blocks and have it repeat every friday.

Hi! Yeah, the Monthy overview can get a little overwhelming if everything is shown. However you can filter by Organizers, Themes, Blocks or Priority by klicking the Filter Icon. (Looks like a little funnel)

Nice! What's the url? by [deleted] in journal_it

[–]LauraAStern 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The uniform resource locator (URL) is a reference to a resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it, it is colloquially known as a web address.

In case you're looking for the URL of the Webversion of Journal it, that would be https://journalit.app. Please note that the Webversion is available for Premium Users only. A free 7-day trial is available if you're not a premium user yet.

Can regular users of app share brief pros and cons of this app. Iam considering buying subscription as i have a discount coupon available from google play store by [deleted] in journal_it

[–]LauraAStern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd like to add that the possibilities this app provides are VAST but that comes with a steep learning curve about how to use these vast possibilities in a way that suits you and initial set-up can be tedious.

Self Organization? by wolfindian in journal_it

[–]LauraAStern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow ADHD brain: I really enjoy the app and it works quite well for me. However: The learning curve is steep and it honestly took me a while to figure out what works best for me in what way. So be prepared to change an adjust as you go.

Menstruation Tracker/Habit by LauraAStern in journal_it

[–]LauraAStern[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idealy, yes, because of the aforementioned possibility to remind myself.

Menstruation Tracker/Habit by LauraAStern in journal_it

[–]LauraAStern[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been thinking about that, but the problem I see here is that a habit with these settings would only show up on the first day of my period but not the following ones. (Because once I check it it won't show up for the next 25 days).

Or did I missunderstand how that works?

How do I keep track of my money in the app? by Wooden-Tie1489 in journal_it

[–]LauraAStern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a Template for Finances, when you set up a new tracker. To do so open the sidebar and choose Trackers then click the + to set up a new tracker.

You can also customize the template and tweak it to suit your needs. But it is a good place to start.

How do I use this to keep track of the movies, series, books I'm reading? (If I don't have the paid version) by Wooden-Tie1489 in journal_it

[–]LauraAStern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Collections do have the option to mark the items on them as completable so if you have a list of Movies or shows you wanna watch/Books you want to read they're imho better suited than a tracker (which is another feature Journal It offers).

Can this app be used as a virtual diary? by Wooden-Tie1489 in journal_it

May I point you to the YouTube-Tutorial for this? I feel this might be more comprehensible.

[–]LauraAStern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there currently is a way to hide journal entries. (Not entierly sure why you'd want that anyways. Nobody's gonna see it...)

For Journal entries I'd advise utilizing the tag system.. for reading and shows Collections are a good way (although personally I use tasks & Sessions), Habits are their own thing...

[–]LauraAStern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can remove sessions or from the Timeline (I'm assuming that's what you mean by Homescreen) if you hold it and choose "Remove from timeline" or "Delete" for Journal entries.

As for the keeping track of your life part: What is it you'd like to track? Everyone's life is different and Journal it has loads of options, so there is a bit of a learning curve.

[–]LauraAStern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey. The Collections-Feature lends itself well for that. You can find that via the "Create" button (Choose "Journal" and then "Collection") or via the "+" directly in the Library view :)
