Basics
Getting Started
System requirements, creating your first encrypted journal, setting a password, the welcome tour, multiple journals, key file auth, and local-only mode.
Writing Entries
Fenmark's rich text editor supports formatting, images, file attachments, named links, tags, and multiple entries per day. Auto-save and RTL language support are built in.
Navigating Your Journal
Navigate your journal using the sidebar calendar, keyboard shortcuts, and day-navigation buttons. Jump to any date, go to today, and browse your entry history.
Your Data
Importing Data
Import journal entries from Mini Diary, Day One, jrnl, or plain text files. Fenmark includes built-in importers and supports custom Rhai import plugins.
Exporting Data
Export your journal as JSON, Markdown, or PDF. JSON preserves IDs, tags, and metadata; Markdown is human-readable; PDF creates a formatted A4 document.
Plugins
Extend Fenmark with Rhai script plugins for custom import and export formats. Covers the plugins folder, writing your first plugin, and API helpers.
Settings & More
Preferences
Configure Fenmark from the Preferences panel: choose a theme, set auto-lock timeout, adjust editor font and size, manage authentication methods, and more.
Statistics
View your writing statistics: total entry and word counts, current and longest streaks, and a breakdown of your most active writing days, months, and years.
Backups
Fenmark snapshots your journal before risky changes, restores the whole journal or specific entries in-app, and keeps tiered history going back a year.
