Description
Git Journal is a note taking / journaling app built with privacy and data portability in mind. It stores all its notes in a standardised Markdown + YAML header format or plaintext. The notes are stored in a hosted Git Repo of your choice - GitHub / GitLab / Gitea / Gogs / Any Custom-provider.
Features -
- Offline First - All yours notes are available offline - No Account Required - Categorize your Notes with Folders - Open source / Free Software / FOSS - Can easily be extended and integrated with other Git tools - Can also be used to manage Hugo / Jekyll / Gatsby websites - No Ads - Built with Flutter
Never need to import / export your notes, as you always have control of the data. Apps may come and go, but your notes will always be with you.
The app comes with a clean, easy to use interface designed to focus on just writing your journal entries without any distractions.
We have chosen Git as a backend as self-hosting a Git server is much simpler than almost any other software, additionally there are already many commercial providers of Git. So you can choose who you want to trust with your notes. We currently don't support encrypting the notes, but it's something we're actively working on.
Recent changes: * Add support for YYYY-MM-DD in the YAML frontmatter * Add a button to export the repo as a zip * Small bug fixes

Comments on GitJournal - Notes with Git for Android
★★★★★Lee· Dec 25, 2024
I've tried other markdown note apps, but this is the first I've found that works perfectly with my existing repo of notes. It seems to pick up dates and times from the names of the files, supports tags, supports title metadata, and surprisingly it also supports wiki type links between the files! It has a pretty clean look which I also appreciate. My one complaint is it seems you can't set a custom port if you're selecting a self-hosted git, it expects the default port of 22.

Fantastic app for syncing notes to a GitHub repo. Exactly what I was looking for. Works great! You can also pull down the repo on your computer, commit and push changes to your notes, and the app automatically syncs those changes. Very cool.

No markdown toolbar. Except journal and git sync, not much useful.
★★☆☆☆Ivan Panachev· Jul 12, 2025
The idea is good, but the implementation not so much. Only works with a single device, with two or more synchronization is completely dysfunctional. Rename or move produces duplicate files instead of what is expected.

Worked flawlessly for a few weeks. Then git merge failed. Tried to send a bug report, no response. Tried to clear the repo and start over, nothing happened. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, app is now just a black screen. And I was just about to pay for pro...

I want to like this app, but it keeps corrupting files and lossing data (see other 2-star reviews). Incredible slow once file has more than a few hundred lines. Developer appears to have health issues which means limited support at the moment. Does not handle merge conflicts and no actual git intraction support (e.g. no log or diff support).
