Your Notes in any Git Repo

Features & Capabilities

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.

User Reviews

it crashes 9/10 times and it will delete random selections of a file. i actually don’t think i’ve used a worse piece of software. terrible because they’re really is no alternative.

I use it everyday. For the most part, it’s simple and it works. Just like git.

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.
