Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Frank, and I built Recollections with my wife because I stopped journaling when every app wanted me to watch an add to actually log something (looking at your DailyBean). Journaling apps these days have so many features that it takes away from why you're in the app in the first place...to get your thoughts out and reflect for a bit. I wanted 3 things: - Private by default - no account needed, entries never leave your phone unless you export them. - Fast to open, calm to write in - opens in <1s to a blank page. No feeds, no streaks shaming you. - Easy to log in under 60s, with insights compounding overtime with on-device technology (we have no servers!) I'm giving the PH community 50% off lifetime unlock. Use code PHUNT50. Ask me anything about iOS privacy, on-device ML, or why I think “cloud journals” are an oxymoron. Also happy to hear what would make you switch from Day One/Apple Journal.
