Free-Write Entries ​

The simplest journal format: a headline and an open text body. You pick the topic; you write what you want. No prompts, no structure, just a blank page.

Free-write journal

Starting a Free-Write Entry ​

From the Adventure Journal page, tap the "+" button and pick "Free-write." Then:

  1. Pick a period - day, week, month, or year. The entry anchors to that period.
  2. Write a headline - up to 100 characters. This is what shows up in the journal list.
  3. Write the body - no length limit.
  4. Optionally link to a goal for reflection tied to a specific objective.
  5. Save.

That's it. No draft state, no auto-save - saving is explicit.

Time Periods for Free Writes ​

Every free-write entry lives in one of four periods:

  • Day - a specific date.
  • Week - a specific calendar week.
  • Month - a specific calendar month.
  • Year - a specific year.

Pick the period that fits what you're writing about. A "how was today" entry is daily; a "what I want from this quarter" entry might be monthly.

You can write unlimited free-write entries per period - pile up three journals about the same day if you want. The per-period limit only applies to plan and retrospection entries.

Editing and Deleting ​

Free-write entries are editable after saving. Change the headline, expand the body, relink to a different goal - all open.

Deleting an entry removes it from the journal list and reverses the rewards it granted (XP and silver both).

Entries are encrypted at rest - their content is only readable on your devices. See End-to-End Encryption.

Rewards for Writing ​

Every free-write entry grants:

  • Silver - one coin flat, regardless of length.
  • XP - a base amount, scaled up by entry length (longer entries earn more, up to a cap). Very short entries get the base; entries past the length cap stop gaining more XP per character.
  • Four arena tickets if this is the first journal entry of your day (not per entry - one batch of tickets per day).
  • Possible real-life stat bump via AI analysis on daily entries.

The XP scales gently enough that writing longer isn't wildly more rewarding than writing a solid medium-length entry. The system isn't trying to pressure you toward essays.

A short entry is a real entry

The minimum viable free-write is a sentence or two. That's enough to unlock the daily rewards (tickets, AI analysis, silver, XP). Don't skip writing because you don't have time for a long entry - something short beats nothing.
