Your thoughts, spoken. Private, always. QuietJournal is a calm, distraction-free voice journal. Tap the microphone, say what's on your mind, and your words become a beautiful written journal entry — instantly, right on your device. Why QuietJournal? • Just speak — no typing needed. Your voice becomes text in seconds. • Truly private — everything stays on your phone. No account, no cloud, no tracking of your journal content. • Works offline — journal anywhere: on a plane, in the mountains, in bed at 3 a.m. (works offline when your device's offline speech pack is installed). • Emotion tags — capture how you feel: calm, happy, grateful, hopeful, sad, anxious, angry, or tired. • Find any moment — search your entries and filter by emotion. • Calm by design — a soothing, near-black dark mode and a gentle light theme. • App lock — protect your journal with your fingerprint or face. • Speaks your language — available in 10 languages. QuietJournal Pro Pro removes the ads and unlocks the premium themes, journal fonts, PDF export and backup. Choose a monthly or yearly plan, or pay once for lifetime access. Speaking, searching, emotion tags and restoring a backup stay free for everyone. Your journal is yours alone. Start speaking today. QuietJournal Pro is also available as an auto-renewable subscription (monthly or yearly). Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
