Hello everyone!

TL;DR:
Journiv is a a beautiful, self-hosted, privacy-first journaling app with mood tracking, daily prompts, and meaningful insights. The mission is simple: your memories should always stay yours. Own them, don’t rent them.

Journiv 0.1.0-beta.4 is now live on GitHub and fully Docker-hostable.
Start owning your thoughts and memories forever and keep them completely private.

The Story Behind Journiv

I got into self-hosting last year and while exploring options journaling solution, I realized there wasn’t a truly modern, self-hosted equivalent to Day One or Apple Journal. Most alternatives were either general note apps or old abandoned projects.

I wanted something focused on journaling with:

  • “On This Day” memories
  • Prompt-based journaling
  • A clean, minimal, distraction-free writing experience

So… I built my own: Journiv, a beautiful (at least I am trying to make it so), self-hosted, privacy-first journaling app with mood tracking, daily prompts, and meaningful insights.

    Understood about docker. Yes, those are planned and on roadmap. Apps will be coming soon. But software takes effort and time and just to get it here I have put in hundreds of hours and there is much more to build. Currently my focus is to make the project sustainable so I can continue developing it.

    Thanks.

      What exactly do you mean by “sustainable”, paid/premium features? Ads? Subscription plans for users that ask you to host the server instead of self-hosting themselves?

      Yes I understand FOSS is a lot of time and effort, thank you :-)
