Everyone needs a place where they can be honest with themselves. Everything you type or upload is encrypted. So, not even our employees can see what you have typed or what image you have uploaded.

I created this product because I needed it, So, I have kept the UI simple and Minimal but that does not mean it is half-baked. You can add tags to your diary entry, You can create different spaces for work, family, etc. Even the images you upload are encrypted. So, they can't be seen by me or any other future member of the team. This might seem like a trivial product but it is essential. On every social network, our every action is governed by how people are going to react, which prevents us from being honest and you simply can't be happy if you are not honest with yourself.

Hey, @arnavzek , congrats on the launch! 🥳 I must say that the app looks great. Love the simple UI and the subtle details. Definitely you've put a lot of work and thought in it. I will give it a chance in the upcoming weeks. One thing I would consider is to make the animations a bit more snappy, but that a minor thing. Also, is there a way to have multiple tags on a journal entry? Good luck 🚀

@brslv Thank you so much. I will add the multiple-tag feature and yeah! In hindsight, animation needs to be more snappy.

@pothamram Thank you so much. One thing it lacks right now is an Android app with biometrics, but I am working on it, it will be out soon.

Ensuring privacy and security is crucial, and this platform takes it seriously by offering end-to-end encryption for all user data. With this level of protection, users can feel confident that their information remains confidential and inaccessible to anyone, including the platform's employees.

@patpijanowski You summarized it very well. It makes diary writing even more cathartic.

@sentry_co Thank you so much. It took me one week (3hrs each day) My semester break is going on. So, I had a lot of time. The hardest part was image encryption.

@arnavzek Why was image encryption hard? What libs are you using for encryption?
Arnav Singh
Maker
@sentry_co Well honestly, I am just clumsy that is why it was tricky. Crypto-js library was used.

Congrats on the launch 🎉 I was looking for this exact same product a few days back. I found none and I stopped looking. I would love to use it once it is made available for other platforms too like Android. It would be nice if you can give the option to generate a random encryption key that can be copied. This will make onboarding a little faster.

@kraten Thank you so much for looking into it. I am working on the Android app. It will be completed in a week. In the case of the Android App, I can just add biometrics. So, biometrics can be used as the encryption key.
