PrivaLog: Diary & Journal

Private, encrypted, no AI

Free · In‑App Purchases

Write without an audience. No AI, no feed, no streaks—just your words in a private diary. Local writing stays free. Try Pro for 14 days, no card or automatic charge. A private journal for your thoughts, your days, and the things you don't want to share. PrivaLog is a quiet place to write and come back to. There is one entry for each calendar day, and you can return to it, add to it, and edit it whenever you want. No social feed, no streaks, no badges, and no AI reading or writing your journal. WRITE WHAT MATTERS Write about your day, a thought you want to remember, or something you just need to get out of your head. Add an optional title, headings, bold text, and lists. You can also add a mood, tags, favorites, and, if you want, a place. Focus Mode keeps the page simple. Autosave keeps your changes as you write. LOOK BACK See the days you wrote in the calendar, browse older entries in a simple timeline, and search your diary after unlocking it. Privacy Mode can show dates instead of snippets when you don't want your writing visible in lists. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your diary is encrypted on your device before it is synced or stored in the cloud. Titles, text, moods, tags, and places are encrypted too. Your diary passphrase is separate from your account password. We cannot read your diary or reset your diary passphrase. Our servers store your account email, entry dates, technical metadata, and encrypted data, not readable diary text. Encryption is included in the free version and is never placed behind the Pro paywall. You can also protect access on your device with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. WORDS, NOT NOISE PrivaLog is deliberately built around writing. There are no photo or video attachments, no public profile, no feed, and no AI. Your diary stays a diary. WRITE OFFLINE AND KEEP YOUR OWN COPY Write without an internet connection on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Export an encrypted backup, or create PDF, Markdown, or JSON copies for your own archive. FREE LOCAL WRITING Local writing on iPhone, iPad, and Mac stays free, with the same encryption. Every new PrivaLog account also includes a 14-day Pro trial. It starts when you successfully unlock your diary for the first time. No credit card is required, and starting the trial does not start a paid subscription. PRIVALOG PRO Pro adds encrypted cloud storage, cloud sync, multi-device sync, and web access for new entries. Entries already synced to the cloud remain readable on the web after the trial ends. Pro is for people who want the same diary across their devices and the web, or want their encrypted diary stored in the cloud. Keep your diary passphrase somewhere safe. If you lose it and no unlocked device remains, nobody can recover your diary, including us. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS PrivaLog Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, available monthly (one month) or yearly (one year). Your exact price is shown in the App Store purchase sheet before you confirm.
