This app helps you visually represent your total profits and losses over a large timeframe.
The name "PAL: Journal" simply comes from the term used in investments or finances; "PnL". This basically means Profits and Losses. I simply swapped the n with A. As for the journal part, this simply means that there are additional personal touches you can do for tracking your PnL.
Below are some previews of the app in action.
The plan for this app, is to be able to support both mobile (Android) and desktop (Windows) platforms.
