Shell Journal

Small changes. A lifetime together. Shell Journal is a quiet, thoughtfully designed home for the moments you share with your turtles and tortoises. Keep personal records, notice everyday changes, and build a story you can look back on. A HOME FOR EVERY COMPANION Create individual profiles with a favorite photo, species, sex, arrival date, habitat, and personal notes. Add a known birth date when available. Switch between companions while keeping their records separate. CAPTURE THE LITTLE THINGS Save dated entries with photos, notes, shell color, surface appearance, visible growth rings, weight, and shell length. Edit entries as needed and revisit them in a personal timeline. WATCH YOUR RECORDS GROW View weight and shell-length charts based on your own measurements. Compare two entries side by side to see recorded changes. Search entry titles, notes, and colors, or filter for photos and measurements. BUILD YOUR DAILY RHYTHM Create personal daily routines for feeding, fresh water, cleaning, equipment checks, or observations. Mark routines complete for a selected date, undo a checkmark, and review completion counts over the past seven days. NOTICE THEIR HABITAT Manually record temperature, humidity, reading times, and enclosure notes. See trends as observations accumulate. Measurements come from you, not connected sensors. KEEP LIFE IN PICTURES Browse photos from journal entries in a gallery for each companion. Open a memory to revisit its details or add a new photo through a journal entry. FOLLOW YOUR CURIOSITY Step through an illustrated, fictional dormancy journey. Use the age explorer to record shell observations and explore how assumed ring-growth rates change an illustrative age calculation. A known birth date provides a separate age calculation from your profile. YOUR JOURNAL, KEPT CLOSE No account, advertising, analytics, or tracking. Core features work offline. Your records stay in the app's local storage. Export profiles, entries, attached photos, routines, habitat readings, and saved observations as a JSON file using the system share sheet. Shell Journal is a personal recording and exploration app. Shell rings cannot reliably establish age. The age explorer is not a validated biological assessment, and its radar chart shows observation completeness, not health. The dormancy story is fictional and does not provide a care schedule. For animal care decisions, consult a qualified reptile veterinarian. Start with a companion. Capture a moment. Let the story grow.
