ThoughtWell: Offline Journal

Your journal belongs to you. ThoughtWell is a private diary with a real lock (PIN and fingerprint) that works completely offline. No account. No cloud sync. No subscription.

ACTUALLY PRIVATE, NOT JUST PROMISED
• Lock your diary with a PIN or fingerprint; auto-lock when you leave
• Everything is encrypted on your device with XSalsa20-Poly1305, the same cipher class used by leading secure messengers, plus a recovery code so you're never locked out
• Works with no internet connection. ThoughtWell does not send anything you write anywhere. If Android backup is turned on, your phone's own backup to your Google account may include a copy.
• Your entries never train or feed an AI. Ever.
• No account signup, no email, no tracking of what you write

A JOURNAL THAT FEELS GOOD TO WRITE IN
• Clean editor with a book-quality serif typeface
• Bold, italics, headings and lists; photos, video and voice notes
• Draw directly on the page with the sketch pen
• Mood tracking with gentle weather icons; tags and folders to organize
• Daily writing prompts and a writing streak to keep you going
• Calendar view, search, and statistics on your writing life

YOUR DATA IS SAFE AND PORTABLE
• Automatic backups, on by default, kept on your device
• Back up to a folder YOU choose (your own Google Drive folder, SD card, your call)
• One-tap restore moves your whole journal to a new phone
• Export to PDF with a custom cover page, or plain text/JSON any time

PAY ONCE, OWN IT FOREVER
The free version is complete and supported by ads. One small one-time purchase removes ads permanently. No subscription, no recurring charges, no premium tiers. Journaling apps that charge yearly are renting you your own diary.

Whether you want a diary with lock, an offline diary for travel with no internet, a private journal with no account required, or just a journal app that works offline and respects you, ThoughtWell was built for exactly that.

The Upgrade page follows your theme. Total entries are counted correctly and drop when you delete one. Taps on the entry list work with the search keyboard open. The line toolbar leaves the cursor at the line end. The ad banner no longer covers the navigation bar.
