Your journal, your data, your device. No cloud required.

Permissions required:
Microphone — When you record a voice journal entry, the app uses on-device speech recognition to turn your words into text. Audio never leaves your device.
Notifications — Sends your daily journaling reminders. These are scheduled entirely on your device — no external server is involved.
Full network access — Used to sign in to your account, sync encrypted backups to the cloud, and process PRO purchases. The app works fully offline — internet is only used when you choose to back up or sign in.
View network connections — Checks whether you are online or offline so the app can switch smoothly between local-only mode and cloud sync.
Change your audio settings — When you record a voice entry, the app temporarily pauses other audio (like music) so speech recognition can hear you clearly. It resumes everything when you stop recording.
Run at startup — Restarts your daily journaling reminders after your phone reboots. Without this, reminders would disappear every time you restart your device.
Control vibration — Provides subtle haptic feedback when you tap buttons and when notification reminders fire.
