nuga

nuga is a simple, beautiful journaling app built for people who want to write things down without overthinking it. Sometimes a single journal entry can bring back an entire season of life: a conversation that stayed with you, something you learned, a challenge you overcame, a thought you didn't want to lose. nuga is simply a place to capture those moments and revisit them later. WRITE nuga's chat-style journal makes writing feel effortless. Each entry is a dated conversation with yourself. Type freely, use guided prompts, or dictate with on-device voice-to-text. Double-tap any bubble to save a thought that hits differently. GUIDED PROMPTS Not sure where to start? Pick a guide and let nuga ask the questions while you answer. Choose from 15+ thoughtfully curated prompts across reflection, gratitude, planning, wellbeing, and more. Favourite up to three guides and they'll always appear first. BROWSE Every entry lives on a date in your journal calendar. The coloured dots mark days you've journalled. Tap any date to revisit a memory, or open a future date to set an intention. SAVED THOUGHTS When something you've written stops you mid-scroll, save it. Double tap it, or long-press any bubble, trim it down, and bookmark it. Your Saved Thoughts become a quiet archive of your growth, your breakthroughs, and your best moments, searchable anytime. SHARE STUDIO Turn a saved thought into something beautiful. Choose a watercolour background, a handwriting font, and a frame size. Then save it to your Photos or share it straight to your feed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN nuga has no backend, no servers, and no accounts. Everything you write stays with you: entries, saved thoughts, voice transcriptions, settings. We have no way of accessing your journal, and we built it that way on purpose. However, you have the option to back up via iCloud if you wish, and can opt in or out anytime from your iOS settings. COMPLETELY FREE No subscriptions. No ads. No paywalls. nuga is a hobby project built by one person who loves journaling, and it's free to use in full. Your journal. Your thoughts. Your eyes only.
