Quietly: Private Journal
Diary & notes, fully offline
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
One payment, no subscription — ever. Write freely with live formatting, keep photos & voice notes fully on-device. Encrypted iCloud sync is entirely optional.
Quietly is a private journal that lives entirely on your device — no account, no ads, no subscription. Ever.
Write freely with a live-formatting editor: headers, bold, bullet lists, and tap-to-check checklists render as you type, so your entries read like a finished page, not raw markdown. Attach photos, videos, and voice notes — or just speak your entry and let on-device transcription turn it into text. Everything happens on your phone; nothing is ever sent anywhere to process it.
Organize your way: tag entries, sort them into color-coded notebooks, mark favorites, and see everywhere you've written on a map built from coarse, never-precise locations. A daily reminder and a rotating set of reflective prompts help the habit stick without ever feeling like homework.
Want your entries on more than one device? Turn on sync — off by default — and your written entries travel between your devices end-to-end encrypted, using the same private channel Apple's own iCloud Keychain uses. Photos, videos, and voice notes stay local-only, always.
Pricing is as simple as the app: write up to 20 entries for free, then unlock unlimited writing with a single $9.99 payment. No monthly fee. No yearly renewal. No subscription, ever — that's not a launch promo, it's the whole design.
