## What is Amber Diary?

Your journal, encrypted and intelligent — running entirely on your device. Amber Diary uses on-device AI to tag entries, find patterns, and surface forgotten connections, with zero cloud processing. One-time purchase. No subscription. No one can read your words — not even us.

WRITE WITH PURPOSE
Amber Diary is built around the AMBER Method — a five-step reflective writing practice (Acknowledge, Mirror, Bridge, Evolve, Release). 51 guided prompts help you move from raw emotion to genuine insight. No blank-page anxiety. Just start.

ON-DEVICE AI THAT RESPECTS YOUR PRIVACY
Every AI feature runs locally on your iPhone using Apple's frameworks. Your entries are analyzed, tagged, and connected without ever leaving your device. No server calls. No third-party AI. No data collection.

ECHOES OF THOUGHT
Write an entry and discover past entries you forgot about — connected by meaning, not keywords. The AI reveals patterns across months of writing that you wouldn't notice on your own.

SEMANTIC SEARCH
Search by what you meant, not exact words. Type a feeling and find entries that match, even if you described it differently each time.

AUTO-TAGGING
Every entry is automatically tagged. Over time, your tags become a map of recurring themes — showing where your attention goes and how it shifts.

END-TO-END ENCRYPTED SYNC
Sync across devices through iCloud with AES-256-GCM encryption. Your key stays in iCloud Keychain. We cannot access your data — by design, not by policy.

CROSS-LANGUAGE AI
Write in English, Chinese, or Japanese. The AI works across all three — search in one language, find entries written in another.

YOUR DATA, YOUR RULES
- Export to Markdown anytime — trial, paid, or expired
- No account required to use the app
- Face ID / Touch ID lock
- Full offline functionality

ONE-TIME PURCHASE
$14.99 launch price. No subscription. No tiers. Every feature included. 7-day free trial with full access.

Built by an independent developer. No venture capital. No growth metrics. Just a journal that works the way a journal should — privately, quietly, and entirely for you.
