Private AI Journal that helps you reflect. All data is stored on-device for maximum privacy. When using Apple Intelligence as the LLM, personal data never leaves your device. chatGPT, Gemini and Claude are running in the cloud, but will not store data or use it for training.

Hi PH Community – I wanted a simple journal app that helps me reflect and prioritizes privacy – so I built one.
Please share feedback!
Congrats on the launch — love the on-device, privacy‑first spin on AI journaling 👏

@zeiki_yu Thanks so much for the feedback! I think Privacy is key for something like this.
Cute little app! Would you ever consider adding export functionality? Or what that go against the philosophy?
Dottie
@wilco_kruijer1 Thanks for the feedback! I do currently support export as json, css, markdown and pdf. Full control and ownership overall data for my users is key.
Lmk if you have any more feedback or Qs!
All the best with the launch! Curious to know how AI is helping here? Is it with respect to some patterns, moods?
Dottie
@mustassim Yes, patterns, mood, external perspective. It's not for everyone though. But I know lots of people that already use chatGPT to reflect on various things.

@valeriia_kuna Thank you!!
Exactly, that is how I use it. I just mumble about my day and then AI cleanly summarizes it.
I am using iOS 26 SpeechTranscriber for dictation (runs on-device and is free) and to be honest, I am not sure what languages it supports, but I tested with English and German. I could switch to ElevenLabs or some other fancy API but that would add cost and also go against the privacy principle.
Feel free to share more feedback or Qs!
