Private Diary
Read full descriptionHide full description
Scriptum is a daily journal with no account and no server. Your writing stays on your phone, and nothing leaves it unless you ask it to. ONE PAGE A DAY β’ A question is waiting each morning, so you never open to a blank page. β’ Write a line or a thousand words. The day is one page, of any length. β’ Missed a day? Open the calendar and write it whenever you like. WRITE HOWEVER SUITS YOU β’ Type, or speak and watch your words land on the page. β’ Add a photograph to remember the day by. β’ Note where you were, when that is part of it. FIND IT AGAIN YEARS LATER β’ Search every entry you have ever written. β’ A calendar of the days you wrote, and the days you did not. β’ Open any date and read it exactly as you left it. PRIVATE, NOT MERELY ENCRYPTED β’ No account. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to sign in to. β’ No analytics, no trackers, no advertising inside the app. β’ Most diaries keep your writing on a server. This one has no server to keep it on. AND STILL IMPOSSIBLE TO LOSE β’ A copy of your journal is kept in your own iCloud, so deleting the app no longer takes it with it. β’ Nothing is sent to us. The copy sits in your iCloud Drive, where you can see it. β’ Or save the whole diary, words and photographs, as one file only you hold. SCRIPTUM COMPLETE An optional upgrade, for when the free journal is not enough. β’ Lock your diary behind Face ID, a fingerprint, or a passcode. β’ Up to ten photos on a page, arranged for you. β’ Sketch over the paper in ink. β’ Stickers to decorate a page, every pack of them. β’ Have a rambling entry tidied by AI into something you will want to reread. β’ Colour the whole app to suit you. β’ Turn your journal into a printable PDF book, typeset page by page. Scriptum Complete is offered monthly or yearly, or as Lifetime, a one-off purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Lifetime does not renew.
