Worthglade: Wealth Journal · iPhone & iPad

A little help.

Find your way around the book, keep your work safe and bring it to your next device. For anything else, write to us.

Tell us what happened.

Include your device model, iOS or iPadOS version, Worthglade version (Book menu → About Worthglade), the steps you took and the exact error. Hide private content in any screenshot you choose to send.

Do not send archive passwords, Apple Account passwords, payment details or private notebook contents. Email is sent only when you choose to send it; this page does not upload your journal or attach diagnostics.

Find your book and begin

Swipe the shelf to browse. Tap a side book to bring it to the centre, then tap again to open it. The first spread is an editable endpaper, followed by your content spreads.

Personalise the endpaper with your own words and marks. It stays at the front and cannot be torn out using the page-removal button.
The free experience includes an editable endpaper, a limited set of content spreads, two bindings and the creative tools. Full wealth journal shows the current unlock and price from the App Store.
Use the bottom dock for Draw, Type, Stamp, Sticker, Layers, Add media and Speak. Swipe the dock horizontally if a tool is outside the visible area.

Overview, Canvas and navigation

Overview and Canvas are two visible mode buttons above the book. Overview is for browsing and turning pages; Canvas gives you room to zoom, move and create.

In portrait Overview, use the left/right page navigator above the book to shift your view across the complete spread. That navigator is hidden in Canvas; return to Overview to see it again.
Use the previous/next arrows or swipe to turn a spread. Tap the page number for First page or Last page; the separate last-page arrow jumps straight to the last readable spread.
In Canvas, use two fingers to zoom and pan. To edit a movable object instead, place the fingers on that object. Return to Overview before trying to turn pages.
Book menu → Settings → Open my book at chooses First page or Last page for the next opening. Close book returns to the shelf.

Add, personalise or remove a spread

A spread contains two facing pages sharing the same workspace and layer stack. Adding a spread inserts new pages; it does not overwrite the current spread.

Tap the top + button (Add page), choose a page design, then Before this spread or After this spread. The default placement is after. At the free creation limit, the app shows the full-unlock screen.
Book text edits printed titles, cover wording and shared page labels. It is separate from the notes you place on the paper. Use the keyboard Done to finish typing, then the sheet Done to close the editor.
The scissors button asks before tearing out both facing pages. The fixed endpaper and locked unlock leaf cannot be torn out. Undo can restore a recent tear while its history is available.
Existing authored pages are preserved when older books are migrated. If you are looking for old work, check the selected binding, page-number navigation and Layers before clearing any data.

Write, draw and arrange your layers

Choose Draw to use the drawing tools, or Type to create an editable text object. The app works with touch; a compatible iPad can also use Apple Pencil.

Use the pen panel to choose a medium, colour, width and opacity. Stroke eraser removes whole strokes; Pixel eraser provides softer local erasing. The colour cabinet and palette are digital approximations of physical pigments.
Typing in Canvas temporarily uses a stable writing view. Finish typing to return to the previous canvas position. Select a text object and choose Edit words to change it; text objects can be moved, scaled and rotated.
Open Layers to inspect visibility and stacking. A hidden layer can make an item appear missing. Bring to front in an object’s More menu changes its position in the stack.
Tap with two fingers to undo and three fingers to redo. Undo is also in the dock; the drawing panel provides undo/redo buttons. History is limited, and an archive is the way to preserve work across device changes.

Stamps, stickers and object controls

Choose a stamp or sticker, then tap the paper to place it. The placement preview shows where it will land.

Drag to move an object. Use two fingers on the object to scale and rotate it. Editing an object temporarily takes priority over page-turn gestures.
Double-tap a sticker or stamp, or use its Flip control, to reach the back and add a note. Use Done to leave the object editor.
Long-press an object to show its controls. Depending on the object, you can edit words, choose a media frame, bring it to front, duplicate a sticker or use the trash control.
Deleting an object removes it from the visible page. Undo history and associated local media may remain until a full local erasure; see the data-deletion section below.

Text only or Voice + text

Speak opens A spoken first draft. Before starting, choose the Keep as mode: Text only is the default; Voice + text also keeps a playable local recording.

Tap Start listening and grant microphone access. Text transcription also needs speech recognition permission and supported on-device English recognition. There is no silent fallback to a remote transcription service.
If on-device recognition is unavailable or speech access is denied, you can type instead, or select Voice + text to record locally with microphone permission. A transcript may be unavailable in that case.
Use Stop listening to pause capture, review or edit the words, then Keep on paper to save the draft. Voice + text requires a valid saved recording; the app shows an error if it cannot prepare the audio.
Choose the mode before recording; the selector is disabled while recording or while captured audio is present. Cancel and closing the draft discard temporary recordings. Leaving the foreground stops recording.
To change access later, use Worthglade’s microphone and speech permissions in system Settings. You can keep using drawing, typing and other tools without those permissions.

Import photos and short videos

Use Add media in the bottom dock. The system picker provides access to the items you select, rather than the entire photo library. The app makes private local copies.

Choose an image or video, then position it on the paper. Media frames include Rounded, Square, Circle, Petal and Diamond. Move, rotate or resize the object as needed.
Video clips must be no longer than three minutes. They are prepared for local playback; the converted file limit is 32 MB. Try a shorter or smaller clip if import fails.
Your selected media and kept recordings are included in encrypted exports. They do not follow a purchase restoration and are not automatically uploaded or synchronised.
If import fails, check the source file, available device storage and the displayed error. Keep the original file until you have confirmed it is saved in your book.

Play recordings and balance sound

Voice cards provide play, pause, resume and a progress control. Selecting a video opens its local player.

Use the voice card’s play/pause button. Drag its progress control to move through a recording. Playback errors are displayed rather than silently ignored.
The first playback may show Preparing balanced audio while the app prepares a local playback copy. Quiet active speech is lifted and excessive levels are limited; original recordings and archive media remain unchanged.
During voice or video playback, background music becomes quieter and paper sound effects step back. They return when playback pauses, ends or closes. Starting a video stops active voice playback to avoid overlap.
The app does not change the device’s system volume. Check volume, speaker or headphone output if sound is still quiet. Silent, damaged or extremely weak original recordings cannot be reconstructed by level balancing.
Temporary playback copies stay on the device and use a bounded cache. Erase all local entries also clears that cache; exported archives remain separate.

Restore your full unlock

The full unlock is an optional one-time purchase through Apple. Restore purchased access on a supported device with the same Apple Account.

Sign in to the App Store with the Apple Account used for the original production purchase. Open a book, tap the top-right three-dot Book menu, then Full wealth journal → Restore purchase. Restore purchase is also in Settings.
If the app says No Worthglade purchase was found for this Apple Account, check the account and whether the original purchase was made in production rather than Sandbox or TestFlight.
If Apple is still processing a purchase, wait for its result rather than repeatedly buying. If the price cannot load or Apple cannot restore right now, check your connection and try again later. Contact support with the exact message if the issue persists.
Restoration returns the purchased access, not your notebook. Import an encrypted archive separately to move your content.
A revoked or refunded entitlement can restrict premium bindings and additional page creation. Saved notebook data is retained on the device and remains part of encrypted export; restoring a valid entitlement returns the purchased access.

Apple handles billing and decides refund eligibility. Contact us for app help. Sandbox and TestFlight purchases are test purchases and do not grant a production App Store unlock.

Export, import and change devices

Notebook and media files are local and excluded from automatic device backups. Before deleting the app, replacing a notebook or moving devices, export a password-protected archive.

Open a book → top-right three-dot Book menu → Settings → Export encrypted archive. Choose a password of at least 12 characters and save the file and password safely.
The export includes notebook content and embedded images, videos and kept recordings. It contains no purchase entitlement. Choose your own Files destination or transfer method; file-provider services have their own privacy practices.
On the other supported device, use Settings → Import encrypted archive. Enter the password and choose Decrypt and review. The app asks for confirmation before replacing the current local notebook. Export that notebook first if you want to keep it.
For This archive needs a newer version of Worthglade, update the destination app. For an incorrect-password or damaged-archive error, check the original password and an intact copy of the file. Support cannot recover the password.
Portable archives have a 256 MB limit. Shorten or remove large videos if the export is too large. Keep the source device and original archive while verifying a transfer.

Delete a card or erase all local content

Deleting an item from a page and fully erasing the app’s local journal are different operations.

Use an object’s trash control to remove it from the visible book. Undo history and associated media can remain locally; deleting one card is not a full purge of local files.
For full erasure, open a book → top-right three-dot Book menu → Settings → Erase all local entries, then confirm. This clears the local journal, private media, undo history and temporary balanced-playback cache.
Uninstalling the app removes its local sandbox. Neither full erasure nor uninstalling deletes archive copies saved elsewhere or Apple’s purchase records. Delete exported files separately where you saved them.
Export first if any work matters to you. We cannot reconstruct unexported pages after erasure, uninstalling or device loss. Restore purchase only restores purchased access.

Settings, Help and Feedback

The top-right three-dot Book menu provides Settings, Full wealth journal, Close book and About Worthglade.

Settings includes Open my book at, Reduce page motion, Page sounds and touch feedback, purchase restoration and archive/data controls. Background music starts when you use the speaker/record control above the book.
Help opens this support page; Privacy and Terms open the published policy. About Worthglade shows the public app version.
Feedback opens an email composer for a message you choose to send. It does not automatically send a message or attach your notebook or logs. Review the recipient and any attachments before sending; the website support address is shown above.

Missing work or an unexpected result?

Do not uninstall, erase or import over the only copy of work you want to keep while troubleshooting.

Check the selected binding, First page / Last page navigation and Overview position. Use Layers to check hidden objects. Return to Overview if Canvas has panned away from your content.
For a recent unwanted edit or torn spread, try Undo while history is available. A changed purchase entitlement may restrict access without deleting saved content; check Restore purchase separately from archive import.
For recording or playback issues, check the selected voice mode, system permissions, device output and the displayed preparation/error state. A saved voice card without transcription can still be a local recording.
If the problem continues, email the device model, OS version, app version, steps and exact error. Do not send private notebook contents or archive passwords. Support correspondence can be discussed through the contact address above.
