About Journay - Encrypt, Share Diary
Write privately. Share anonymously.
Some thoughts are only for you. Others want to be heard — just not by anyone who knows you. Journay is the journal that holds both.
---
YOUR PRIVATE JOURNAL
Journay is an end-to-end encrypted diary where your stories live sealed on your device. Not on our servers. Not readable by Journay's team. Only decryptable by you, using your own secret key — a 24-word phrase you generate on first launch.
Write however you think: freeform prose, structured notes, a gratitude list, a dream you want to remember, a mood you want to name. Reflect on your day. Confide what you can't say out loud. Add photos and tags. The wellbeing module tracks sleep, energy, or whatever you're watching.
Every story stays private until you choose otherwise. No performance pressure, no daily streaks, no notification guilt. Come back when you're ready. Leave gaps. Your journal isn't judging you.
Collections organize your writing the way your mind works — daily thoughts, dreams, gratitude, anything that doesn't fit elsewhere. Each collection lives as a floating orb on your home screen. Only you can see inside.

ANONYMOUS SHARING — TO STRANGERS, NOT FRIENDS
Sometimes you need to be heard by someone who doesn't know you. That's what The Stories Feed is for — a hush, safe space to be heard without judgment.
Publish a story anonymously. Your real name never appears. Your only identity is an auto-generated pseudonym — something like "Silent Nebula" — permanent and consistent, separate from your real self.
Strangers read your story. They resonate (a single, quiet like). They leave whispers — short, anonymous messages that say "I've felt this too." No debate. No judgment. Just care.
Unpublish any story instantly. Your writing, your control.
What you share is plaintext — anonymous, not encrypted — so readers can read it. What you keep private stays end-to-end encrypted. The two modes are deliberately separate.
One important note: your private journal is E2EE — encrypted with a 24-word key only you hold. If you lose it, we genuinely cannot recover your writing — by design.
---
A COMMUNITY BUILT ON RESONANCE
The Stories Feed shows you stories from people who tag their writing the same way you do. You discover strangers thinking about the same things — grief, gratitude, dreams, feelings with no name — without either of you revealing who you are.
Resonate with a story to let the writer know their words landed. Leave a whisper if you have something to say. Anonymous on both ends.
No follower counts. No public profile. No metrics to chase.
---
END-TO-END ENCRYPTION — HOW IT WORKS
Journay uses XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption. When you write a story, it's encrypted on your device before it leaves your phone. Our servers never see your private writing.
Your secret key is a 24-word phrase you generate and store yourself — the only way to decrypt your stories on a new device. Journay doesn't store it. There's no "forgot your key" flow, by design. Write it down and keep it safe: your private diary is yours alone.
End-to-end encrypted diaries. Zero-knowledge private journal. Your thoughts are yours.
---
NEW YEAR, FRESH START
January is the most common time people return to journaling — or start for the first time. Journay is designed for this moment: no streak pressure, no catch-up guilt. Open it on January 1st or January 14th or any day you feel like writing. Your diary will be there, sealed and waiting.
---
WHAT JOURNAY IS NOT
Journay is not a mood tracker with charts and goals. It's not an AI journaling coach. It's not a social network with followers and likes. It's not a notes app with sync across devices. It's a private diary that happens to have a quiet, anonymous community attached — for when private isn't quite enough.
