iPhone app · Independent software by Danila Pryadko

A structured local journal for aquarium measurements, inhabitants, and events.

Free to download. Pro is optional.

View on the App Store

This is a personal recordkeeping tool, not veterinary, toxicity, treatment, or emergency advice. Any experimental reference shown in the app is informational and must be evaluated independently.

Optional Pro

An optional one-time Pro purchase adds an annual report for each tank. Compare reading counts and ranges across the last 365 days and the preceding 365 days, and save a preferred parameter. The journal, reminders, photos, 7/30/90-day trends and exports stay free.

When to use Aquarium Journal

Before you choose

Does it diagnose fish or prescribe treatment?

No. It is a personal journal. Recorded values and any informational references are not veterinary, toxicity or treatment advice.

Can I export my records?

The documented app supports user-initiated CSV, JSON backup and PNG summaries. Use the app’s supported backup workflow; the web CSV is independent.

Does selecting a photo delete the original?

No. Selected images are copied into local app storage; removing the journal entry does not delete the original from Photos.
