Revision as of 08:15, 5 September 2025 by 203.59.193.151 (talk) (Added basic information, source for App page, source for original post that informed me of this update in reference to users opening the app to a prompt that they can't track a recent use)

In September 2025, the app PsychonautWiki Journal was updated to Version 12.0 on both Android and iOS. This update came with a new restriction on drug & interaction tracking that was provided without warning prior to the update.

Background

PsychonaughtWiki Journal[1] is an application developed by Isaak Hanimann released in 2021. PsychonautWiki Journal is a medication & drug tracking app, designed first and foremost for substance users, but is also usable for tracking of typical prescription medication. It allows users to track their medication use as well as potential drug interactions, including potentially severe negative interactions with psychedelic or perception-altering substances and allows substance users to safely plan tolerance breaks to prevent overuse.

Version 12.0 Premium tier lockout

On the 4th of September 2025, Version 12.0 of PsychonautWiki Journal was released on the iOS App Store and Google Play Store. This update added [Stub]

In addition to the other features in this release, users who updated the app were met with a prompt to upgrade to Premium, with the restriction that users would continue to be able to track their three most-used drugs for free.

This change was not warned in advance of the update, and users would find themselves logging in to track a substance only to be entirely unable to[2] because they were not presented with the option to choose what preferred drugs remained trackable, or with a warned grace period.

Isaak's response

Upon opening the prompt, the user is met with a message saying; "PsychonautWiki Journal is free for anyone who can't afford it. In that case send a message to [email protected]". As of yet users have not been met with any negative response.

Consumer response

This section is unfinished.
