iPhone
Record daily mood with a single tap and track long-term trends. Core features work offline, no account required.
Your journal shouldn't live on someone else's server.
InkLeaf is a local-first private diary. Every word you write and every photo you save stays on this device and in your own iCloud private space. No account, no sign-up, no developer server — by design, we cannot read anything you write.
CAPTURE THE DAY
- Open and write: one tap, keyboard ready
- Add up to 10 photos, your current place (city · spot) and a mood to any entry
- Long-press a photo to drag it into place
- Backdate entries any time — diaries deserve catch-up days
- Drafts auto-save while you type
LOOK BACK
- Timeline grouped by month, full-text search across words and places
- Calendar view with ink dots on the days you wrote
- "Years Ago Today" gathers entries from the same day across the years, with a home-screen widget that greets you with last year's you
- Optional daily reminder that turns into a memory when there is one
TRULY YOURS
- Lock the whole app with Face ID / Touch ID / passcode; content is covered the moment you switch apps
- Storage marked with iOS Data Protection; with iCloud signed in, entries sync to your own private space across your devices — still no account
- Export everything as Markdown + photos in one zip. Your data walks out the door with you, any day
- Turn any year into a neatly typeset PDF yearbook, ready to print
- Interface in English, 日本語 and 简体中文
ADS AND COST
Every feature is open to everyone — writing, photos, the lock, iCloud sync,
Years Ago Today, the widget, Markdown export and PDF yearbooks. Nothing is behind a paywall. A single banner sits at the bottom of the screen; if you would rather not see it, a one-time purchase removes it. That purchase only hides the banner — it does not unlock anything. No subscription, no interstitials, no rewarded video.
PRIVACY
Your entries and photos never leave this device and your own iCloud private database. The app uses the network in three places only: your own iCloud sync, Apple's place-name lookup when you record a location, and fetching the bottom banner ad. Ads come from Google AdMob; the app always requests non-personalised ads and never asks for ATT tracking permission.
