Your journal

Tuesday · March 18

There is something about the early morning that makes every thought feel important. I've been trying to write before the notifications start, before the calendar fills in, before the day has a shape—

Privacy first

Your data stays yours.

There are no servers to breach, no accounts to create, and nothing binding you to a service. Every entry, every photo, every thought lives only on your device — encrypted, local, and under your control. We built it this way on purpose.

No account required Open the app and start writing. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to verify.
Face ID & Touch ID lock Your journal is biometrically protected. It stays closed until you open it.
CSV export, always Your words are portable. Export everything at any time — no lock-in, no friction.
No analytics, no ads, no tracking Not a single third-party tracker. We don't know how you use the app, and that's fine.

Mood tracking

Your journal quietly takes the temperature of your mind.

As you write, Muse Journal reads the emotional tone of your words. Over weeks and months, patterns emerge — which days are heavy, which are light, what tends to precede your clearest thinking. No manual tagging. No scales to rate. Just honest reflection, reflected back.

The meeting ended badly but I can't remember now why it felt so important. Everything looks different from an hour's distance. Maybe that's the whole point of writing things down — not to preserve the feeling, but to watch it change.

Today's prompt

What are you holding onto that you could probably let go of?

The writing experience

A place worth returning to.

Serif typefaces, generous margins, and an interface that disappears when you write. When the page feels blank, a prompt appears — gentle, not demanding. Your location and the weather are captured quietly with each entry, so future-you has the full picture.

  • Serif fonts for reading and writing — no cold sans-serif UI
  • AI-inspired prompts that appear only when you need them
  • Location & weather logged automatically per entry
  • No distractions, no popups, no badges

Everything else

Built for the long game.

📅
