Use Cases
Your journal should never be held hostage. Here is how people use Pensio exports.
Migrating to another app
Switching tools should never mean losing years of journal entries. Export everything and take your words with you — no lock-in, no penalties.
Local backup for peace of mind
Keep a local copy of your journal alongside cloud storage. Download a fresh export monthly and store it on an external drive or encrypted volume.
Sharing entries with a therapist
Export everything as Markdown files you can print or share, and hand over the weeks that matter. Give your therapist context without giving up account access.
