Boku is a private, short-form digital journal. It's a journal designed to capture your thoughts while you're on the go. You can enrich your thoughts by autosaving your location to help you remember where you were. Your data is stored on your device and only you can see your data. Boku has no trackers, cookies, monitors or systems to access or see your data. Because your data is private, Boku makes it easy to export your data and delete your data at any time. The inspiration for Boku comes from the Japanese word 僕 or boku, which means "I" or "me" and also "private" or "personal".
