Hello everyone!

TL;DR:
Journiv is a a beautiful, self-hosted, privacy-first journaling app with mood tracking, daily prompts, and meaningful insights. The mission is simple: your memories should always stay yours. Own them, don’t rent them.

Journiv 0.1.0-beta.4 is now live on GitHub and fully Docker-hostable.
Start owning your thoughts and memories forever and keep them completely private.

The Story Behind Journiv

I got into self-hosting last year and while exploring options journaling solution, I realized there wasn’t a truly modern, self-hosted equivalent to Day One or Apple Journal. Most alternatives were either general note apps or old abandoned projects.

I wanted something focused on journaling with:

“On This Day” memories
Prompt-based journaling
A clean, minimal, distraction-free writing experience

So… I built my own: Journiv, a beautiful (at least I am trying to make it so), self-hosted, privacy-first journaling app with mood tracking, daily prompts, and meaningful insights.

I just recently discovered SilverBullet and have been happily using that for journaling. Its self hosted and lets you add functionality by writing lua scripts.

I tried silver bullet too. Problem with all note taking/knowledge management app are they are just that note taking app not Journaling app and miss all core aspect of journaling.

I actually just made a bunch of utils for my own journaling in SB, including a button to always open the days journal page, which uses a template to get things like prompts and show widgets for things like how I felt that day.

I wonder, what aspects of journaling do you find missing from note taking apps?
