Shanti Journal: Video Diary
Private Voice Journaling
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Shanti Journal is a free private diary app that lets you record your day in text, voice, or video — with every entry stored 100% locally on your device, never uploaded to any server.
THREE WAYS TO RECORD
– Text journal: write down what's on your mind, with an option to attach photos
– Voice journal: record your voice and keep the sound of the moment, with photos, tags, and a short note
– Video journal: capture a short video of what's really happening, with tags and a short note
In a time when so much content is AI-generated, something you wrote, said, or filmed yourself is proof that you actually lived it.
YOUR RECORDS, YOURS ALONE
Every text, voice, and video entry stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded to any server, and there's no sign-up or login required. You can also set a privacy password, so the app asks for verification every time it's opened — even if someone else picks up your phone, they can't see what's inside.
THE VOID: SAY IT, THEN LET IT GO
Some things you just need to say once, not keep forever. Send them into The Void and choose to auto-delete them after 7 or 30 days — or keep them permanently if you would rather not delete them at all. It is a private space to let out what is on your mind, then let time carry it away.
GONE WITH THE WIND: LET GO ON PURPOSE
When you're ready to say goodbye to an entry, send it away with Gone with the Wind — a small ceremonial animation that helps you consciously let go of that piece of the past.
ENCRYPTED EXPORT & IMPORT
Switching phones or want a backup? Export all your journal entries as an encrypted file, then import it on your new device to pick up right where you left off. Your data stays protected during the transfer — no cloud, no account needed.
