Retro Journal Desktop Client - Desktop client for Retro Journal

Retro Journal is a journal that thinks it's a video game. Each entry is a save of your life, the moments worth keeping become checkpoints, and writing earns XP. Today it lands on the desktop: native macOS, Windows and Linux apps that sync with the iPhone and Android ones. Local-first, so it all works offline, and every entry exports to Markdown and JSON. Nothing is locked in, ever. Free on your device. Cloud sync is $12.99 once, no subscription.

Hey Product Hunt :D I'm Renato, solo maker of Retro Journal. Every journaling app I tried felt like homework, a blank white page asking me to be profound at 11pm. So I built the one I'd actually open: a journal that thinks it's a video game. Each entry is a save of your life; the moments worth keeping become checkpoints. I journal in it most days, which is the only reason it keeps getting built. The Android and iOS apps came first. Today it gets a desktop, native macOS, Windows and Linux, synced with your phone: download here. Local-first and fully offline, exports to plain Markdown and JSON so nothing's locked in. Free on your device; cloud sync is $12.99 once, no subscription
