About

JustYou

Features
Read full description

JustYou is a private "chat with yourself" — somewhere to capture a thought, save a link, set a reminder, or jot a list without opening five different apps. The whole experience is one chat. Type a message and it's saved. Use a slash command and JustYou parses it: /reminder tomorrow at 9 take vitamins, /list groceries: eggs, milk, bread, /link https://example.com. Tags work inline — type #ideas anywhere in a message and it joins the tag. Built on three promises: NO ACCOUNT. JustYou never asks for an email, a username, or a password. The PIN is local. There is no server. NO TRACKING. No analytics. No crash reporters. No third-party SDKs. The privacy manifest is empty by design. NO REMOTE AI. Voice notes are transcribed on-device with Speech.framework. Photos and scans are read with on-device Vision OCR. Nothing is sent anywhere for processing. ENCRYPTED AT REST. The local database is protected by iOS Data Protection — hardware-backed AES-256 keyed to your device passcode and Secure Enclave. Without your passcode, the data on disk cannot be read. Free tier: - Your Personal chat and Inbox, plus one extra thread of your own - Unlimited text notes, pins and search - 15 reminders, 2 lists, 10 saved links, 5 voice notes, 5 tags, 20 photos / scans - Local PIN + Face ID, opaque background cover - TXT and CSV export - Share extension to save URLs from any app - English and Spanish Premium (£2.99/month, or £24.99/year with a 7-day free trial): - Everything unlimited - Multiple themed threads - iCloud sync across your devices (via your own private CloudKit container — never our servers) - OCR on photos and scans - On-device voice transcription - Apple Watch quick-capture - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - Siri / App Intents / Shortcuts integration - "On This Day" memory surfacing - Markdown and formatted PDF export - Custom themes and accent colours - Advanced search operators Subscriptions auto-renew at the listed price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
