# Journaling Make your journaling app’s actions available in the Shortcuts app by adopting schemas for journal-entry management. ## Discussion The `.journal` domain defines app schemas that provide a structured representation for common journaling actions and content. Apply schemas in the `.journal` domain to make your journaling app’s functionality available as actions in the Shortcuts app. Schemas in this domain don’t make your conforming types discoverable by Apple Intelligence and Siri. > Tip: Xcode generates a template implementation when you type `journal_` and select a schema from the suggestions list. For more information about app schemas, see [App schema domains](/documentation/AppIntents/app-schema-domains). ## Topics ### Actions [`createAudioEntry`](/documentation/AppIntents/AppSchema/JournalIntent/createAudioEntry) An intent schema that creates a new audio journal entry.
