OwnJournal

A Safe Place for Your Thoughts·ownjournal.app

OwnJournal is a private journaling app with end-to-end encryption, where entries are encrypted on the user's device before being stored in the user's own cloud (Google Drive, Dropbox, Nextcloud, or iCloud Drive). It includes mood and activity tracking, offline writing with sync, and optional AI-powered insights. The app is open source and built on a zero-knowledge architecture so the provider cannot read user entries.
