A daily journal built on creative constraints. One note per day — no folders, no tags, no decisions. Yesterday's notes become read-only, keeping you present instead of endlessly editing the past. End-to-end encrypted so you can trust it with your most private thoughts — not even we can read them. Runs entirely on your device as a PWA. No internet required. No account required. Open the app, start writing.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built Ichinichi because I wanted a daily journal that:
1. Let me start writing in under 2 seconds
2. Encrypted my thoughts so nobody — not even the app operator — could read them
3. Didn't guilt me into organizing anything
The core idea: one note per day, encrypted on your device, viewable on a calendar. That's the whole app.
The encryption is real — AES-GCM with PBKDF2 key derivation (600k iterations). Your notes are encrypted client-side before touching any server. In local mode, there's no server at all.
Some things I'm proud of:
- Zero to writing in 1 click — no signup wall
- Visual streaks — the calendar dots are surprisingly motivating
- Read-only past — you can't "cheat" your streak by editing old entries
- Seamless local → cloud migration — start local, add sync later without losing anything
It's MIT licensed and self-hostable. Would love your feedback!
