# A journal for the part of student life that isn't graded.

_Outside the LMS. Outside the cloud drive your university provides. Outside any system that could one day be looked at._

Universities have, for excellent reasons, instrumented most of their digital surfaces. That instrumentation does not belong inside a private journal.

The Sealed Journal lives entirely outside the institutional stack. The file is yours. The passphrase is yours. The writing is yours.

## Questions

### Can I use it for coursework notes?

It is better for thinking than for structured revision material. Many students keep it alongside their notes app rather than instead of it.

### Is there a student discount?

There is no separate student price, but $24 once is deliberately close to the cost of a decent notebook.

### Does it work on university computers?

Usually, since it is a local HTML file with no installation and no network access. Entries stay in that machine's browser store, so use your own laptop for anything private.

## Price

The Sealed Journal is a one-time purchase of $24 (introductory price, rising to $29). No subscription, no account, lifetime updates, 30-day refund. Buy at https://sealedjournal.com/#pricing
