HOURLY JOURNAL FOR ATHLETES
Your training app logs the session. Track the hours around it.
Training is only one part of the day. Hourly Journal helps you keep the sleep, recovery, meals, travel, rest and everyday context around the session — so your training week is easier to look back on in your own words.
Free to start on iOS, Android and the web. Journaling, tags, moods and insights stay free forever.
Keep the context your workout log misses
Your training log stops when the session does.
Every rep is recorded. The eighteen hours between one session and the next usually aren't written down anywhere at all.
Rest doesn't feel like it counts, so it doesn't get logged.
Sitting still reads as nothing happening, so the rest day quietly becomes a scroll day and no record distinguishes the two afterwards.
You can quote your 5K time and not your bedtime.
One of those has a number attached because something was counting. The other doesn't, for exactly the same reason.
HOW THE HOURS GET LOGGED
One training week, hour by hour
- 1
Tag the training block plainly
Warm-up, main set, cooldown — or just “Training” for the hour. Precision isn't the point; not letting the session dissolve into the rest of the day is.
- 2
Give Recovery its own tag every time
Foam rolling, a nap, a full rest day. Tagging it means it appears in the week with the same weight as Training, instead of reading as a blank.
- 3
Log sleep and meals as hours, like everything else
Tag the hour you actually got into bed and the hour you ate. What you get back is a record of what you did — the app doesn't grade it or draw conclusions from it.
- 4
Read back the two days before a session
Open the range covering the 48 hours before any session and read what those hours contained. You're the one interpreting it; the log just makes sure the hours are still there to read.
SUGGESTED TAGS
Tags for training days and the days between
Training usually gets logged somewhere already. These are the tags for everything either side of it — including the rest days that leave no trace.
A DAY IN THE LIFE
A session day, warm-up to lights out
One athlete's logged day. These are their own notes about their own hours — not a plan, a template, or anything to copy.
HOW IT WORKS
The parts of the app that cover the other hours
- Give Recovery its own tag and its own iconBuilt-in tags cover the basics, and three custom tags are free. Premium removes the cap and lets you pick an icon for each one.
- See your usual bedtime and average sleep, not just guess itDeep Report is a Pro feature that adds average sleep, usual sleep and wake times, and an energy meter built from the hours you tagged.
- Log a session in a gym with no signalEntries save to the device the second you write them and upload when you're back on a network.
The core journal is free forever on iOS, Android and the web. See what Premium adds.
Questions from people who already track training
Can I log more than one session a day?
Yes — any hour can hold an entry, so a double day is just two tagged hours. Long-press to tag a run of hours at once if you'd rather do it afterwards.
Does this replace my training app?
No. Your training app records the workout itself. Hourly Journal records the hours either side of it in your own words — it doesn't import, calculate or score anything.
Can I export my logs to share with a coach?
Ask for an export from Profile Settings and we'll email you everything you've logged — every hour, exactly as you wrote it — so you can pass it on to a coach yourself.
Easy enough to keep on busy days
Log an hour in seconds, or use multi-hour logging to capture a stretch afterwards — on double-session days, travel days, rest days, and the days when training is not the main event.
