WHY HOURLY?

Days blur. Hours do not.

A day is made of small moments. Log an hour — or the 15 minutes that mattered — while it is fresh, then read the day, week and month back as top tags and top emotions. Free for everyone. When you want peak hours, energy, sleep and wake, and any two tags side by side, that is Deep Report with Pro.

FAQ

Questions? We have answers.

Everything you need to know before you start journaling an hour at a time.

Is Hourly Journal really free?

Hourly Journal · just now

Yes. Hourly entries and 15-minute slots, multi-hour logging, tags and moods with three custom tags of your own, day, week and month insights, streaks and achievements, one workspace with its own reminders, and offline sync are all free. Premium is optional, for deeper tools.
What if I miss a few hours?

Hourly Journal · just now

Nothing breaks. Skip them, log the next one, or hold to select a whole stretch and write it up as one entry. Miss a whole day and the streak drops by one rather than back to zero.
Does it work without internet?

Hourly Journal · just now

Yes. Entries save to your device first and sync when you are back online, so a lost signal does not interrupt your day.
Can I use it on my computer?

Hourly Journal · just now

Yes. Open the web app in your browser to keep journaling at your desk, with the same tags, entries, and insights.
Who can read my journal?

Hourly Journal · just now

Your journal is for you. With Premium you can put a 4-digit passcode on a workspace, which is a privacy screen rather than encryption. For full details on how entries are stored and synced, read the Privacy Policy before you begin.
What is a workspace?

Hourly Journal · just now

A workspace is a separate journal with its own name, colour and reminder schedule. Everyone gets one. Premium raises that to three, so Personal, Work and Fitness can keep their own hours and their own tags.
Do I pay for the 2.0 update?

Hourly Journal · just now

No. Version 2.0 is a free update on iOS, Android and the web. Minute-level slots, forgiving streaks, achievements and the notification settings screen are part of the free app; workspaces, Deep Report, search and dark mode are the Premium side of it.
