JustYou: Private Notes Chat
Notes to self, kept private
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Capture anything. Reminders, lists, links, photos, voice notes — all in one private chat, locked behind your PIN. No account, no analytics, no third-party SDKs.
JustYou is a private "chat with yourself" — somewhere to capture a thought, save a link, set a reminder, or jot a list without opening five different apps.
The whole experience is one chat. Type a message and it's saved. Use a slash command and JustYou parses it: /reminder tomorrow at 9 take vitamins, /list groceries: eggs, milk, bread, /link https://example.com. Tags work inline — type #ideas anywhere in a message and it joins the tag.
Built on three promises:
NO ACCOUNT. JustYou never asks for an email, a username, or a password. The PIN is local. There is no server.
NO TRACKING. No analytics. No crash reporters. No third-party SDKs. The privacy manifest is empty by design.
NO REMOTE AI. Voice notes are transcribed on-device with Speech.framework. Photos and scans are read with on-device Vision OCR. Nothing is sent anywhere for processing.
ENCRYPTED AT REST. The local database is protected by iOS Data Protection — hardware-backed AES-256 keyed to your device passcode and Secure Enclave. Without your passcode, the data on disk cannot be read.
