Your journal, your data, your device. No cloud required.

Permissions required:
Microphone — When you record a voice journal entry, the app uses on-device speech recognition to turn your words into text. Audio never leaves your device.
Notifications — Sends your daily journaling reminders. These are scheduled entirely on your device — no external server is involved.
Full network access — Used to sign in to your account, sync encrypted backups to the cloud, and process PRO purchases. The app works fully offline — internet is only used when you choose to back up or sign in.
View network connections — Checks whether you are online or offline so the app can switch smoothly between local-only mode and cloud sync.
Change your audio settings — When you record a voice entry, the app temporarily pauses other audio (like music) so speech recognition can hear you clearly. It resumes everything when you stop recording.
Run at startup — Restarts your daily journaling reminders after your phone reboots. Without this, reminders would disappear every time you restart your device.
Control vibration — Provides subtle haptic feedback when you tap buttons and when notification reminders fire. ## Rankings - #2,272,246 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.CAMERA` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_APP_BADGE` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO` - `android.permission.SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM` - `android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC` - `android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.anddoes.launcher.permission.UPDATE_COUNT` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.clcheles.BetterLife.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` - `com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.htc.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.htc.launcher.permission.UPDATE_SHORTCUT` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.CHANGE_BADGE` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS` - `com.majeur.launcher.permission.UPDATE_BADGE` - `com.oppo.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.oppo.launcher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS` - `com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.READ` - `com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.WRITE` - `com.sonyericsson.home.permission.BROADCAST_BADGE` - `com.sonymobile.home.permission.PROVIDER_INSERT_BADGE` - `me.everything.badger.permission.BADGE_COUNT_READ` - `me.everything.badger.permission.BADGE_COUNT_WRITE` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Echo Journal: AI Voice Diary](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mightybyte.echo_journal.app) — 1,476 users, 2.86 / 5 - [BetterLife](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bycactus.betterlife) — 24 users - [Voice Journal - Mood Diary](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.fantrow.voicejournal) — 273 users - [VoiceJournal: AI Audio Diary](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.voicejournal.dev) — 66 users - [AI Journal](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.aijournal.diary) — 306 users - [LifeLog - Ask Janet](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.anonymous.lifelog) — 2,141 users - [LifeLog: Diary, Mood, Stories](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ekstazz.LifeLog) — 14 users - [LazyBum: Voice Journal & Diary](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.journalai.mobile) — 2,017 users, 2.80 / 5 - [DiaryAI](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.appdairyai.journal) — 84 users - [Goodlife](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.vasmoa.goodlifediary) — 82 users - [My Diary AI Voice Journal](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.remotekaro.mydiaryai) — 4,140 users - [JournalMind: AI Daily Journal](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.journalmind.app) — 10 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.clcheles.BetterLife)
