## Description

Journalous is a journal without the social part.

A private place to write about your day. No feeds, no followers, no likes, nothing recommending you anything. Your words are encrypted and only you can read them.

Journaling drifted onto social media at some point. Journalous pulls it back. It keeps what makes daily writing easy (a clean page, a routine, a streak you don't want to break) and drops the audience.

Write every day
The editor stays out of the way. Bold, italics, headings, lists, and quotes are there if you want them, but you can also just start typing. Entries save themselves as you go.

Private by default
Every entry is encrypted with AES-256. Each account gets its own key, stored in a vault separate from the database, so entries are protected the moment they're saved. Your email is stored only as a one-way hash. No ads, no feed, and your journal is never sold or used to train AI.

More than words
Attach photos to any day. Add quick notes, a quote, a passing idea, alongside your main entry when you don't feel like writing a full paragraph.

Look back
Browse a clean timeline, jump to any day on the calendar, or search everything you've written. Statistics show your current streak, total words, days journaled, and your longest run so far.

Share on purpose
Nothing is public unless you make it public. Generate a link for a single entry and that's all anyone sees.

Keep your data
Export the whole journal any time as plain, readable JSON. Back it up, move it, build something with it. No lock-in.

Works everywhere
Journalous is on your phone, your tablet, and in any browser, and it keeps working even when you're offline — your entries sync automatically once you're back online.

Free to start
The basics are free. Paid plans add unlimited journals, more sharing, and collaborative journals are coming soon.

If you've been wanting somewhere to write that isn't performing for anyone, this is it.

Start writing today.
