A journal app

Full journaling, free.Not a trial.

Unlimited entries, moods and tags, notebooks, goals, sleep, and AI that reads your journal back to you. No entry cap, no trial clock, no paywall on the part you came for.

iPhone: coming soon. Developed as a web-first app, so it works well on all modern browsers.

The HiveJournal app: a journal with a 3-day writing streak and recent entries

Write

Write it down. Tag how it felt.

A fast, quiet editor with no entry cap. Mark your mood, tag entries however you think, and search everything you have ever written from the top of your journal.

Notebooks

A notebook for each part of your life.

Morning pages, work, the garden, a year, a person. Keep them apart, or let them run together in one timeline.

Notebooks named Morning pages, Work and The garden

Reflect

AI that reads your journal back to you.

Daily, weekly and monthly reflections find the topics and patterns in what you wrote. Ask JQ, the built-in companion, about anything in your journal.

A daily journal analysis listing key topics: morning routine, work decisions, the garden

Track

Goals and sleep in the same place.

Set goals and check in against them. Log how you slept, night by night, and see it next to what you wrote.

Two active goals: finish the short story draft, and walk 30 minutes before work

Your journal stays yours

The most private thing you write deserves more than a promise.

Private by default

Every entry is yours alone until you choose to share one, as a single link.

Locked at the database

Row-level security means the database itself only lets you read your entries, not just the app.

A lock on the app

Open the app with a PIN, Face ID or your fingerprint.

No ads

We never sell your data, and the app has no third-party trackers or ad SDKs.

Leave with everything

Delete your account and everything in it from Settings, whenever you want.

The details are in plain words in our privacy policy.

Questions

Is it really free?
Yes. Entries, moods, tags, notebooks, search, goals, sleep and AI reflection are free in full, with no entry limit and no trial clock. Paid plans exist for other HiveJournal tools, not for your journal.
Is there an iPhone app?
It is coming soon. Until then, HiveJournal works in Safari on your iPhone, and you can add it to your home screen.
Can I use it on my phone and my computer?
Yes. It is one account: write on Android or on the web at hivejournal.com and your journal is the same in both.

Start writing.

iPhone coming soon.

The journal is complete on its own. When you want more, the same account opens stories, audio, rehearsal and connection tools. Explore everything HiveJournal makes
