Inkwell: Private Journal

Inkwell is a private journal that stays on your phone. No account, no cloud, no analytics — your words live in a local database on your device, and the only copy of your journal is the one in your hands.

WRITE, YOUR WAY
• Fast, quiet entries with an optional title and one-tap moods
• Serif, sans, or typewriter fonts
• Five paper-and-ink color themes, each with day and night views
• A gentle daily prompt when the page is blank
• Live word count, and links in your writing become tappable

CAPTURE MORE THAN WORDS
• Attach photos to any entry
• Sketch directly in your journal with eight inks and two pen widths
• Star the entries that matter and find them in one tap

FIND YESTERDAY
• Calendar view with a dot for every day you wrote — tap any date to read it or write a late entry
• Full-text search across your whole journal
• Edit any entry's date and time
• Streaks and words-per-year to keep the habit alive
• On This Day resurfaces what you wrote in past years (Pro)

YOURS, PROVABLY
• Lock the journal with Face ID
• Export everything — photos included — to a single file, any time, free
• Import it on a new phone and keep writing
• Optional daily reminder, scheduled entirely on your device
• No subscription. Ever.

Writing, moods, the calendar, search, and backups are free forever. Inkwell Pro is a single one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited photos and drawings per entry, On This Day, and beautifully typeset PDF export.

Other journal apps charge a subscription to keep your diary on someone else's computer. Inkwell keeps it on yours.

Pay once. Own it forever. No subscription. Inkwell's Pro unlock is $9.99, one time. Writing is free forever either way.
