A quiet, offline-first journal. Your entries are plain markdown files in a folder you choose; AI is optional and not part of this release.

Opens to today. One note per day, created only when you start typing.
Plain files. journal/2026/10/2026-10-28.md: readable in Obsidian, VS Code, anywhere.
Lossless. Your markdown is never reformatted. Only the parts you edit change.
Mood check-ins. A quick "how are you feeling?" once a day, saved in the note's frontmatter, with a year heatmap of words and mood.
Version history. Every note's past versions with a diff and one-click restore, kept outside your vault.
Keyboard-first. Press Ctrl/⌘ + K for everything.

Quick start

Requires Node 20+, pnpm, and Rust (plus the Tauri prerequisites for your OS).

pnpm install
pnpm tauri dev

Pick a vault folder on first launch, then start writing.
