General Journal

Private AI diary & spending

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

General Journal brings journaling and expense tracking into one private daily timeline. Write a note, log lunch, scan a receipt, track a habit, or talk through the day with your in-app companion. The app keeps money records and life moments together, so spending has context and diary entries do not live in a separate place.
