Mindlog is a quiet place to write down what you are thinking and how you feel. No account. No cloud. No tracking. Your entries stay on your device and nowhere else — there is no server for them to go to. WHAT'S INSIDE • Quick entry — opens the moment you launch the app, so a thought does not disappear while you look for a button • A map of emotions — find the word that actually fits instead of settling for "fine" • Your own history — browse and filter past entries, and notice what keeps coming back • Short reads and exercises — a small built-in library on working with your thinking more clearly • App lock — optional Face ID or Touch ID, and the screen blurs itself in the app switcher • Exports you control — PDF, JSON or a spreadsheet, whenever you want them • Encrypted backups — AES-256-GCM, with a passphrase only you know • Fully offline — no connection required, ever PRIVACY IS THE ARCHITECTURE Mindlog contains no analytics library, no advertising SDK and no backend. That is not a promise we are asking you to trust — it is the reason there is no mechanism for your writing to leave your device in the first place. Available in English and Russian.

Verdict

The call
