Description
GitJournal is an open source note taking / journaling app built with privacy and data portability in mind. It stores all its notes in a standardised Markdown + YAML header format or plaintext. The notes are stored in a hosted Git Repo of your choice - GitHub / GitLab / Gitea / Gogs / Any Custom-provider.
Features -
- Offline First - All yours notes are available offline
- No Account Required
- Categorize your Notes with Folders
- Open source / Free Software / FOSS
- Can easily be extended and integrated with other Git tools
- Can also be used to manage Hugo / Jekyll / Gatsby websites
- No Ads
Never need to import / export your notes, as you always have control of the data. Apps may come and go, but your notes will always be with you.
Git has been chosen as a backend as self-hosting a Git server is much simpler than almost any other software, additionally there are already many commercial providers of Git. So you can choose who you want to trust with your notes. We currently don't support encrypting the notes, but it's something we're actively working on.

Ratings and Reviews
You pay for the app and it’s still not free
First I have to pay $2.99 for the app, then I still have to pay for features. Worse, you are limited to only one git repository with the „free“ version that you had to pay for.
App isn’t impressive. If I change a file it’s unclear how to see the git diff or see the git log for a file or everything. Can’t make sure I only commit before reviewing the changes.
It’s also has some bugs like when flipping to iCloud as storage. It flips back and the files are no longer visible and git is no longer configured.
Clean, Fast, Stable
The perfect smart device companion for anyone who keeps their notes in a git repo. If you don’t always have access to your computer when you need to create or review your text notes, this app handles those situations flawlessly.
This launches faster than most syncing note editors, and the interface is intuitive and clean. After testing editing on multiple devices with a git repo on a personal server in an attempt to stress test it, all interactions were reflected correctly in the git history. I could not be more pleased with this app!
One of a Kind
I have been looking for a git-based not-taking app for iOS for a long time. So glad this is finally here. GitJournal does a great job making the commit/push/pull process a seamless “sync” like other note apps.
