About

Quietly

Features
Read full description

Quietly is a private journal that lives entirely on your device โ€” no account, no ads, no subscription. Ever. Write freely with a live-formatting editor: headers, bold, bullet lists, and tap-to-check checklists render as you type, so your entries read like a finished page, not raw markdown. Attach photos, videos, and voice notes โ€” or just speak your entry and let on-device transcription turn it into text. Everything happens on your phone; nothing is ever sent anywhere to process it. Organize your way: tag entries, sort them into color-coded notebooks, mark favorites, and see everywhere you've written on a map built from coarse, never-precise locations. A daily reminder and a rotating set of reflective prompts help the habit stick without ever feeling like homework. Want your entries on more than one device? Turn on sync โ€” off by default โ€” and your written entries travel between your devices end-to-end encrypted, using the same private channel Apple's own iCloud Keychain uses. Photos, videos, and voice notes stay local-only, always. Pricing is as simple as the app: write up to 20 entries for free, then unlock unlimited writing with a single $9.99 payment. No monthly fee. No yearly renewal. No subscription, ever โ€” that's not a launch promo, it's the whole design. FEATURES โ€” Live-styled markdown editor: headers, bold, italic, bullets, tap-to-toggle checklists โ€” Multiple entries per day, backdatable, with full edit history preserved โ€” Tags, color-coded notebooks, and favorites โ€” Photo, video, and voice-note attachments, with on-device transcription โ€” Map view of everywhere you've journaled, from coarse location only โ€” Daily reminder and reflective writing prompts โ€” Home-screen widget โ€” Optional, opt-in, end-to-end encrypted iCloud sync for entries โ€” Face ID / passcode lock, Siri & Shortcuts capture โ€” Full export of your own words, any time Your words are yours. Quietly is built so they stay that way.
