## Description

Punkt is a private, easy-to-use journaling app designed to be secure and private. It stores your stories on your device and in private iCloud, with biometric protection via Face ID or Touch ID. There is no login, no ads, and no data leaves your device—everything you write stays yours. The clean, distraction-free design keeps the focus on your writing and your mood.

Accessibility and fair pricing are core to the project. Punkt supports dynamic type, VoiceOver, and Voice Control, aiming to be usable by everyone. As a solo developer, the goal is transparent pricing and an ad-free experience to keep Punkt independent. If you have feedback, you can contact punktapp.me or gregor@punktapp.me.

## Review summary

Users praise Private Journal: Punkt for its simplicity, strong privacy, helpful reminders, mood tracking, and long-term reliability. Recurrent drawbacks center on data integrity (saving failures and wipes), media limits (one photo per entry, no video), export flexibility (CSV only, requests for PDF), and occasional failures to load reminders or quotes.

### Pros

- Easy to use and intuitive design that makes journaling quick and painless.
- Strong privacy focus; the app prioritizes keeping entries private.
- Helpful reminders to reflect on the day and motivating daily quotes.
- Clear data insights with mood tracking and time-based insights (emojis, trends).
- Long-standing, reliable app that users have used for years and that sees ongoing improvements from the developer.

### Cons

- Data-loss issues: frequent problems with entries not saving, occasional crashes that delete content, and background-refresh wipes of writing.
- Media limitations: only one photo per entry and no support for video uploads (plus occasional photo/notes deletion issues).
- Export options are limited to CSV (no PDF) and long entries can become messy in CSV.
- Notifications/quotes sometimes fail to load or deliver (affecting the reminder/motivation feature).
