Description
OwnJournal – Your private journal, protected in your cloud
OwnJournal is a privacy-first journal app built on a simple idea: your data belongs to you.
We don't store your journal on our servers.
You choose where it's stored.
📌 What's free
• Write and edit entries • Track your mood with an emoji picker (great, good, okay, poor, terrible) • Tag activities — exercise, social, work, meditation and more • Mood calendar heatmap & statistics (distribution, trends, streaks) • Attach photos to your entries • Save and sync to your own cloud (Google Drive, Dropbox, Nextcloud) • End-to-end encryption (optional) • Use and sync across phones, tablets, and PCs • Available in 21 languages • Open source (AGPL-3.0) • No ads
Only Plus is paid (AI analysis, PDF/Word export, activity insights). Start with a 14-day free trial. Writing, syncing, mood tracking, and encryption are always free.
☁️ Stored in your own cloud
Your journal lives in your cloud account.
• Google Drive • Dropbox • Nextcloud
It is not stored on OwnJournal's servers.
So you get:
• Full control over your data • Seamless sync across phone, tablet, and PC • Access from any device • No lock-in to a single service
Your cloud. Your control.
🔒 End-to-end encryption (optional)
With E2E encryption turned on:
• Entries are encrypted on your device • Only you hold the keys • We can't read your journal • Your cloud provider can't read it either
With zero-knowledge design (we don't hold keys), your journal stays entirely under your control.
📊 Mood & activity tracking
Keep track of how you're feeling and what you did:
• 5-level emoji mood picker on every entry • Tag activities like exercise, social, work, reading, meditation • Mood calendar — a month-at-a-glance heatmap colored by your daily mood • Mood statistics — charts showing distribution, trends over time, best/worst days, and streaks • Filter your timeline by mood, activity, or tag to spot patterns
Perfect as a minimalist mood tracker or a full journal — use as much or as little as you want.
🧘 Simple, focused design
• No social features • No followers • No public posts • No ads
Just a quiet place to write.
🔄 Use it on any device
Because everything is in your cloud:
• Write on your phone • Continue on your tablet • Read back on your PC
Everything syncs automatically.
You're not tied to one device.
✨ OwnJournal Plus (optional)
Try Plus free for 14 days.
Plus adds:
• Smart AI analysis – mood, emotions, and themes in your entries • AI title and tag suggestions (now also suggests activities from your content) • Activity Insights – discover which activities correlate with better or worse moods • Mood and trend insights – see patterns over time • Export to PDF and Word
AI only runs when you explicitly use it. The text you send is processed by third-party AI services (Google Gemini or OpenAI), but we don't store it on our servers. Plus is optional – the core journal works fully without it.
🔐 Minimal data collection
We collect only what's needed:
• Email for sign-in • Display name if provided by your sign-in provider • Anonymous diagnostics to improve stability
🔓 Open source
OwnJournal is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. You can inspect the code, verify our privacy claims, and see exactly how your data is handled. No black boxes.
📔 OwnJournal is for anyone who wants:
• A journal app that respects privacy • Their data in their own cloud • A minimalist mood tracker or a full journal — your choice • Sync across all devices • AI when they want it, not forced on them • No ads or social noise • A journal they can trust for the long term
Your thoughts and records stay yours.
Recent changes: • New: Notes — capture quick notes with inline #tag support • Cleaner home screen: the upgrade banner is now a discreet Free Plan row • Improved Trend Analysis layout • The app now requests persistent storage to better protect your local data • Security and stability improvements
