The trading journal
you actually own.The trading journal you
actually own.
Auto-sync trades, review mistakes, and keep your journal on your device.
Why We Built This
Most trading journals make your trades feel like rented data. You pay every month to access your own history, and one pricing change can turn your workflow upside down.
Journalit works differently. Your journal stays on your device & is built around the way you review trades instead of someone else's rigid template.
If a platform changes, locks exports, or disappears, your trading history should not disappear with it. Your journal should outlive the app you used to write it.
One journal for your whole trading day
Plan the session, sync the trades, and review what actually happened.
Your journal should have a front door
Open Journalit and see what needs attention.
Reviews, goals, streaks, trades, and the next thing to fix. No digging before you even start.
Home view
Let the trades come in quietly
Reduce repetitive post-session data entry.
Connect a supported Trade Sync provider for ongoing updates, or use Trade Import with supported broker exports and statements.
Trading PlatformsKnow where you stand on every challenge
Stop checking the firm dashboard mid-session.
Track drawdown, daily loss, profit targets, and payout rules for each phase, with firm profiles to set them up.
Prop Challenges
Stop rewriting the same review
Build the review once. Reuse it when it matters.
Create the daily report card or weekly review you actually want to fill out, then stop starting from a blank page.
Templates
Review patterns in your trading
See what is helping and what is hurting.
See which setups, sessions, symbols, and habits are helping or hurting your performance.
Analytics
Understand your setup results
Turn a trade label into a playbook you can test.
Define the rules, connect the trades, then compare performance, missed opportunities, and execution against the backtest.
Explore Setups
Bring your trades in from any broker
Import years of history without typing it all back in.
Use supported broker imports or map your own file when the export is messy.
Trade Import
The hard part is following the plan
Rules are easy before the entry.
Session Mode keeps preparation, live notes, Trade Gate checks, and session review in one focused workspace.
Session Mode
Built to keep your journal yours
Most tools make you choose between control and convenience. Journalit is built so you do not have to.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Journalit
Is Journalit really free?
The free plan includes unlimited trades, accounts, custom fields, and analytics. Local journalling features work offline in your Obsidian vault. Pro adds Trade Import, automatic Trade Sync for supported brokers, the Economic Calendar, and prop-firm profiles that prefill challenge rules.
Where is my trading data stored?
Your journal notes are stored locally in your Obsidian vault as markdown files. Network-backed features send only the credentials, provider identifiers, broker reports, or trade data required for the workflow you choose. Your manual notes and analysis remain in your vault.
Can I use Journalit offline?
Journalit is local-first. You can create trades, write notes, view local analytics, and customise your journal without an internet connection. Trade Sync, authentication and other network-backed features require connectivity.
Which brokers and platforms are supported?
Pro includes Trade Import for supported broker exports and automatic Trade Sync for supported brokers. You can also add trades manually from any platform.
Do I need to know how to code?
Not at all! Journalit is designed for traders, not developers. Everything is point-and-click with an intuitive interface built right into Obsidian. If you can use Obsidian, you can use Journalit. No coding, no command line, no technical setup required.
Can I track multiple trading accounts?
Yes. Add unlimited trading accounts, view each account separately, or combine selected accounts in portfolio analytics. Configured accounts can be managed in the same vault.
How does Journalit compare to other trading journals?
Journalit stores journal notes as markdown in your Obsidian vault and combines them with analytics, review workflows, and optional broker automation. The free plan does not impose a trade-count limit.
Can I export my data if I switch tools?
Your journal notes are stored as markdown files that can be read with a text editor, copied to another device, backed up, or processed with scripts. Some plugin-managed metadata may still require interpretation by compatible tools.
