Journ.

What it is

All-local, encrypted, voice-first journaling for iOS and macOS. On-device transcription, on-device summarization — nothing leaves the device in plaintext. Single SwiftUI codebase for both platforms; currently pre-release on a feature branch.

Why I made it

I wanted something I could just talk at, where it would pull out what actually mattered — action items, what I was feeling — while keeping everything local. Similar in shape to Whispr, but with a model capable of summarizing the main takeaways from a ramble. I was feeling pretty depressed when I built it; wanted to talk to something but wasn't sure what about.
