📚 Core Guide
Journals & Organization
You can keep all your entries in one journal, or create separate journals for different areas of your life — a personal journal, a work journal, a travel journal, or whatever makes sense for you.
Multiple journals require Inwardly+.
Free users have one default journal. Inwardly+ subscribers can create unlimited journals. See the Inwardly+ guide for full pricing.
