This was born out of a personal need — I journal daily , and I didn’t want to upload my thoughts to some cloud server and also wanted to use AI. So I built Vinaya to be:
Private: Everything stays on your device. No servers, no cloud, no trackers.
Simple: Clean UI built with Electron + React. No bloat, just journaling.
Insightful: Semantic search, mood tracking, and AI-assisted reflections (all offline).
I’m not trying to build a SaaS or chase growth metrics. I just wanted something I could trust and use daily. If this resonates with anyone else, I’d love feedback or thoughts.
If you like the idea or find it useful and want to encourage me to consistently refine it but don’t know me personally and feel shy to say it — just drop a ⭐ on GitHub. That’ll mean a lot :)
The semantic search for journals is brilliant too. I've always struggled to find old entries when I want to revisit specific thoughts or patterns. @barsat_khadka
