Our Philosophy

Local-First & Zero Subscriptions

Many trading tools lock your journal data behind recurring monthly subscriptions.

Insight Trading Journal operates on a local-first architecture: your database stays entirely on your computer, private and offline-capable.

After testing the app for 14 days, you can choose to unlock lifetime access with a single permanent license directly inside the app. No recurring monthly fees.

✨ Free Lifetime Updates Included

Once activated, you automatically receive all future features, tools, and performance updates at zero additional cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to enter payment details to start the trial?

No. You can download and use all features completely free for 14 days without entering credit card details or creating an account.

How do I purchase the app after my trial?

Once your 14-day trial period concludes, the app will conveniently guide you to our secure checkout where you can purchase a lifetime license key. Once entered, the app unlocks forever without losing any of your logged trades or notes.

Are all future software updates included?

Yes, 100%. When you purchase a lifetime license, all future updates, new features, and improvements are completely free. You will never be asked to pay an annual upgrade fee.

Does this app guarantee that I become profitable?

No software can guarantee profitability or replace disciplined risk management. Insight Trading Journal is built to support you: it eliminates manual work through automated MT5 sync, provides clear objective analytics, and helps you maintain a structured pre- and post-session routine.

Can I transfer my license to a new computer?

Yes. Each license key activates one device. Because the app is local-first to guarantee 100% data privacy, your journal lives on that machine. If you upgrade to a new Mac or switch to another computer, you can easily transfer your license key and migrate your data using the built-in backup & restore feature.

Does one license work for both macOS and Windows?

Yes, 100%. Your lifetime license key is cross-platform and valid for both macOS and Windows. If you ever switch computers or operating systems, you can simply transfer your license key and migrate your data with zero hassle at zero extra cost.

Why does Windows SmartScreen show a notice when installing?

Because Insight is a freshly released desktop application, Microsoft SmartScreen hasn't built up automated community reputation yet. This is standard for newly published independent software. Simply click “More info” and then “Run anyway” to launch the installer safely. Insight is 100% private, local-first, and contains zero adware or telemetry.

Is my trading data private?

Yes, 100%. All your trades, account numbers, notes, and screenshots are stored locally on your machine. YK Studio has zero access to your data.
