Hello,

I bought Journey Premium quite some time ago and used it in combination with Google Cloud sync to write new entries in the Journey desktop app for Windows. I don't write into my Journey diary that often, so I don't need that much cloud space and the space provided by my free Google account is still more than enough. However, after installing the new Journey desktop app 2025 for Windows now, whenever I try to add a new entry, a window pops up asking me to subscribe to a membership. I did set up the Journey desktop app 2025 for Windows without Google as my cloud service and sync/download of my existing entries worked well.

So, is it really not possible anymore to write in the Journey desktop app for Windows with Premium but without a membership? As mentioned above, my Google cloud space would be more than sufficient so far for syncing.

    Diarist Thank you for reaching out. Currently, the Journey desktop app requires a membership after reaching a certain quota to unlock the ability to write new entries. Unfortunately, a Premium plan specifically for the desktop app is still under consideration, and a membership is the only way to access the full functionality of the app at this time. I understand that this might be inconvenient, especially since your current Google cloud storage is sufficient for your needs. I recommend keeping an eye out for any updates from Journey, as they may offer different options or plans in the future.

    Thanks for your reply! How much is that quota for the Windows desktop app? Is that a specific number of entries? I don't use attachments in Journey, another reasony why overall I don't need much storage space.

    There is no editing feature for messages here in this forum, right? I just noticed a typo in my previous message. Of course, I meant: " I did set up the Journey desktop app 2025 for Windows WITH Google as my cloud service and sync/download of my existing entries worked well."

    yeh i have the same issue as well. hope this got updated ASAP. really enjoy using Journey app.
