Mobile app

The TraderMemos companion app journals against your own server — the same accounts, trades, and reports as the web app, and it keeps working offline: reads come from a local cache, and journal writes (notes and quick-journal edits) queue up and replay in order once the server answers again. One Expo codebase covers both platforms.

iOS

Download TraderMemos on the App Store. iOS-only extras:

• Widgets — Today, Daily Routine (Home Screen and Lock Screen; tap an item to tick it without opening the app) and Missed Trades.
• Control Center (iOS 18+) — Next Routine Item ticks the next open item; Log Missed Trade opens the form.
• Siri, Shortcuts and Spotlight — Journal Last Trade, Log a Trade, Check Off Routine Item, Next Routine Item, Routine Progress, Log Missed Trade.
• Live Activities for an open trading session.

Android

There is no Play Store listing — the APK on the GitHub Release page is the Android distribution channel:

1. Download TraderMemos.apk — this link always resolves to the newest release. To pick a specific build instead, browse the releases page.
2. Open the file on your phone and allow Install unknown apps for your browser or file manager when Android asks. Chrome warns before any APK download; the warning is about sideloading in general, not about this file.
3. To update, install the newer release's APK over the old one — it upgrades in place and keeps your data.

Every release also ships TraderMemos.apk.sha256 if you want to verify the download, alongside a version-stamped TraderMemos-<version>.apk kept for archiving.

Connect to your server

On first launch, enter your instance URL in Server address — for example https://journal.example.com or http://192.168.1.10:8080 — along with your credentials, the same Server at login model the web app uses. The app probes /healthz first, so an unreachable server reports as such rather than as bad credentials. If the server has no users yet, the app shows the first-user setup instead (Create owner account), the same as the web setup wizard. To point the app at a different server later, use Change server in Settings.

Your phone needs to reach the server: on the same LAN, over a VPN/tunnel, or via a public HTTPS domain (see Reverse proxy). Tokens are stored in the platform keystore (iOS Keychain / Android Keystore), never in plain storage.

Day to day

Home leads with the review loop: This week's focus (the bullets from your last weekly review), Today's routine, and an N trades to review row that opens the review queue — one trade at a time, grade it, Save and next or Skip for now. See Daily workflow and Weekly review.
