How to create a Striderk Journal
Striderk Journal is an exciting new feature recently introduced to the Striderk app, designed to help users maximize their outdoor adventures. Much like a traditional journal where you document experiences, Striderk Journal allows you to capture and record memorable moments during your hikes, runs, or bike rides.
With Striderk Journal, you can create personalized entries that chronicle the highlights of your journey — whether it’s the breathtaking landscapes, interesting landmarks, or unforgettable events along the way. Use it to tell the story of your outdoor activities, preserving the details that make each experience unique.
This feature encourages users to engage more deeply with their surroundings, making every activity more meaningful by offering a way to reflect, remember, and share your adventures with others.
Journals in the Striderk app are created from activities you’ve completed. To create your first Journal, follow these steps:
Open the Striderk App (Updated Version)
- Navigate to your account screen and tap on Activities.
- From the list of your activities, locate the one you’d like to journal about and click on the more icon (three dots) next to it.
Alternatively, you can open the Activity Details screen.
- Tap on the add icon located at the top right corner to bring up the Create Journal screen.
Fill in the Journal Details
- Enter a Journal title and a description that summarizes the key aspects of your activity.
- Choose a banner image to make your Journal visually appealing. A landscape photo is recommended.
Tip: Journals with detailed, engaging descriptions and eye-catching banner images attract more views from the Striderk community.
Save Your Journal
- Once you’ve completed the details, click the Save button to save your new Journal.
Adding Entries to Your Journal
After saving your Journal, the next step is to add entries that tell the story of your outdoor activity.
- Go to the Journal tab on the Landing Screen.
- Select the Journal you just created to open the Journal Details screen.
- Tap on the Edit icon in the top right corner, then select Add Journal Entry from the menu.
Create a Journal Entry
- On the Add Journal Entry screen, choose a location from the map, using the pins that correspond to locations from your activity.
- Add text content that describes your experience at that location.
- Click on the Add Media button to upload photos from your device gallery that complement the entry.
Finally, click the Save button to save the entry.
