vssl: Private Journal & Diary

vssl is a private, all-in-one journaling app built for people who want to reflect deeply — without distraction.

Write freely. Record your voice. Track your mood. Send letters to your future self. Everything lives on your device, protected by Face ID.

JOURNALING, YOUR WAY

• Rich text entries with photos and voice recordings
• Automatic speech-to-text transcription for audio notes
• Custom tags to organize and filter your entries
• Location tagging — remember where you were
• Auto-save drafts so you never lose a thought
• Word count, draft mode, and a distraction-free editor

VOICE NOTES Capture thoughts instantly with one tap. vssl transcribes your recordings automatically and attaches them to your entry — so you can search your spoken words later.

MOOD TRACKING & INSIGHTS Log your mood with every entry on a 5-point emoji scale. Then watch the patterns emerge:

• Weekly, monthly, and yearly mood trend charts
• A mood heatmap calendar — your whole year at a glance
• Journaling streaks and activity grids
• Habit nudges to keep you consistent

TIME CAPSULES Write a message for your future self. Choose a date — and your entry stays sealed until that moment arrives. A deeply personal feature unlike anything in a standard diary app.

PRIVACY FIRST Your journal is yours alone. vssl offers layered privacy so you're always in control:

• App Lock with Face ID or Touch ID
• Lock on background — hides content the moment you switch apps
• Hidden entries — require biometric auth to reveal
• Per-entry encryption with a password
• App Switcher blur to prevent shoulder-surfing

WIDGETS & SIRI

• Home screen and Lock Screen widgets: streak, mood, activity, entries
• Siri Shortcuts: "Add quick entry", "Open composer", "Today's summary"
• Live Activity support

YOUR DATA, YOUR BACKUP

• Encrypted backup export (password-protected ZIP)
• Import & restore anytime
• Full-text search across all entries and transcriptions
