Everything happens on your phone
Your entries are stored on the device, and Apple Intelligence does the work right there too: titles, mood, reminders, photo notes. None of it is uploaded to a server to be processed, and there's no account holding your journal.

Start Journaling Straight Away
No account needed. Open the app, tap Start journaling, and begin. There's nothing to sign up for and nothing to set up first.
Your Entries Stay on the Phone
Everything is kept on the device, so your entries never leave it. They're included in your normal iPhone and iCloud backup, like anything else on the phone.
On-Device AI with Apple Intelligence
Apple Intelligence writes your entry titles, reads mood and sentiment, picks out the reminders and tasks buried in what you wrote, and adds photo notes, all on the phone.
Ask Your Journal a Question
Ask questions about your journal and get answers drawn from Spotlight search across your own entries.
Calendar, Reminders, People & Stats
A journal calendar, reminders, and the people you mention, plus stats such as how many entries you've written and how often you write.
Works Without Apple Intelligence
On a phone that doesn't have Apple Intelligence, the app still works, with the AI features switched off.
