Puzzle journal
A journal that keeps itself.
Every puzzle you finish has a story: the evening the border came together, the session where the sky finally gave in. A puzzle journal keeps those stories. Puzzle Pace makes keeping one as easy as taking a photo when you get up from the table.
How it works
One photo per session. That's the whole habit.
Notebook journals and spreadsheets fail for the same reason: they need you to stop and write. Here, you puzzle like you always do, and when you stop you snap one photo. AI estimates how many pieces are down, the session goes in the log with its photo, and the puzzle's timeline grows on its own.
Later, that timeline is the good part. You can flip back through a finished puzzle and watch it assemble photo by photo, which beats trying to remember whether the lighthouse one took two weeks or two months.
The stats
Light numbers, not homework.
Because the journal knows your sessions, it can do a little math on the side: your average pace, your best session, rough completion, and how many sittings a puzzle probably has left. It is the fitness-tracker effect for puzzling. Nothing changes about the hobby, it just gets slightly more satisfying to look at.

Common questions
Questions about journaling.
What is a puzzle journal?
A record of the puzzles you do: which ones, when, how the build went, and how they looked along the way. Some people keep one in a notebook or a spreadsheet. Puzzle Pace keeps it for you from a photo per session, and adds the stats a notebook cannot, like your pace and your best session.
What do I log in Puzzle Pace?
A session is one sitting at the table. When you finish, you snap a photo and AI estimates how many pieces are placed, or you can enter a count yourself. Each puzzle collects its sessions, photos, and progress into its own little timeline.
Do I have to log every session?
No. Miss a session and the next photo simply catches the journal up, since the estimate is based on what is on the table, not on what you remembered to log. It is a journal, not a chore chart.
Can I track multiple puzzles at once?
Yes. Every puzzle gets its own page with its own cover photo, sessions, and stats, so a long-running 2000-piece project and a quick weekend puzzle can live side by side.
