Quick questions
Is this financial advice?
No. Everything in the Money and Financial Aid tabs is general education, not personalized financial, legal, or tax advice. Always confirm specifics with your school's financial aid office or a licensed professional.
Is my journal private?
Yes. Journal entries are private to your account and are never shared. Messy Roommates and leaderboard are the only features that are public by design, and both require you to opt in with a nickname.
What's actually different between the three themes?
Only the look — colors and shapes. Every feature, every tab, and every tool works exactly the same underneath.
How much is Premium?
The Semester Plan is $12.99 every 6 months — a 4-month semester plus 2 months free — or $2.99 a month if you'd rather go month to month. Six months of monthly adds up to $17.94, so the Semester Plan saves you $4.95. Both start with a 7-day free trial, and the price is the same on the website and in the phone app.
Can I cancel Premium anytime?
Yes. Cancel website subscriptions in the app's Settings. For phone-app subscriptions, cancel through your Apple or Google account before the next renewal.
