Decryption key derived from master password never leaves the browser. It's just a text editor so far, but a we have a few features planned: retrospective tooling, sentiment analysis, journaling modules, guidance and information inline, better habit formation & rewards UI.

Can't find any info about journal encryption on the website itself. Perhaps there should be a page dedicated to explaining how your data is protected. Otherwise great stuff!

nicely done! I like how I get warnings for password not being strong enough. What did you build it with?

I've been journaling for about 15 years now. The big key to getting consistent at it was to stop worrying about trying to write a lot, or trying to write something insightful, and just write a sentence or two at a minimum. Often, that turns into more or into something insightful.

Looks nice! I have been using empty git commit messages for journaling in the past few months and found that I'm more willing to journal in the command line with this git-abuse than most applications specifically designed for journaling. Don't know if anyone else has tried this

Shameless plug for my own password protected daily journal app where all your data stays on your device!

Built it late last year to build the habit of writing out my thoughts.

1/ what do you feel like you've learned or gained from this? 2/ do you ever go back and study what you wrote or is it more about giving your thoughts clarity today?

Zero knowledge here means client side only not zero knowledge proof, correct?
