Frequently asked questions

When you log an entry in plain English (e.g. “wrote newsletter for 90 minutes”), Journavibe sends your text to OpenAI's API. The AI extracts the duration, assigns a category (Deep Work, Client, Admin, Learning, Meeting, or Other), and saves the structured entry. The whole process takes under a second. If a category is wrong, you can edit the entry to correct it.

From the main app view, click the Export button in the top-right corner. Your entries will be downloaded as a CSV file containing the timestamp, description, duration, and category for every entry. There is no limit on how many times you can export, and you can export at any time.

The built-in Pomodoro timer runs a 25-minute focus session. When you start a session, you enter a short label for the task. When the 25 minutes complete, a time entry is automatically saved with that label and a 25-minute duration — no manual logging required. The AI then categorizes the entry based on the label you provided.

Account deletion is handled via email request while self-serve deletion is in development. Send an email to privacy@journavibe.com with the subject “Delete my account” from the email address associated with your account. All your entries, account data, and stored preferences will be permanently deleted within 30 days of your request, in accordance with our Privacy Policy. This action is irreversible — export your data first if you need a record.

Yes. Your time entries are stored in Supabase and are visible only to you. When an entry is processed by the AI, the text is sent to OpenAI's API for categorization. OpenAI does not use your data to train models via the API. We never sell your data or share it with third parties beyond the sub-processors (Supabase, OpenAI, Stripe) necessary to operate the service.

Yes. Each entry in the timeline has an edit option that lets you change the description, duration, or category. You can also delete individual entries. Changes take effect immediately. Deleted entries cannot be recovered, so export your data first if you need a backup.

Journavibe's AI understands a wide range of natural-language duration formats: “for 90 minutes” → 90 min, “for an hour and a half” → 90 min, “for 1.5 hours” → 90 min, “for 45 mins” → 45 min, “for half an hour” → 30 min, “for 2h30” → 150 min. If no duration is mentioned, the entry is saved without one and you can edit it afterwards.
