Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Evan, the solo developer behind Goupill. I started this project because I wanted a journal that was truly private. I tried Notion, Day One, and others — but they all store your most intimate thoughts on their servers. Some even use your data to train AI. So I built Goupill: AES-256 encryption, Argon2id key derivation, everything local-first. I literally cannot read your entries even if I wanted to. Beyond security, I put a lot of care into the writing experience — 6 themes, a Zen mode, Time Capsules to write to your future self, and stats to understand your writing habits. It's free with no account required. I'd love your feedback — what features would you want next?
