Meet Journiv! A Self-Hosted, Privacy-First Journaling App (Day One/Apple Journal Alternative) (lemmy.world)
 

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.6 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 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.

Cool. Makes sense. Can I request you to open a issue on github to track this? Thanks.

Thanks! My main focus right now is simply building the product, the license doesn’t matter much if the product itself isn’t good yet. It’s always easier to move to a less restrictive license later than to go the other way, so this is the approach I’m starting with.

Thank you for adopting Journiv! Yes the export will be added. I do agree with you that a human accessible export is very important. I am a software engineer who knows how to make docker backups etc etc but I never do it :) I know I can set it be automated but the friction is too high to do it.

Journiv is being built for out of need and to be the solution of owning memory so it long term strategy is at it's core. I am personally using it for all my memories with my young family so it will be devastating to lose it because of backup friction.

My plan for Journiv is:

  1. 1 Click export which periodically created a static HTML site with all the entries and media. Zips it and put in local location configured by user. Since journiv run in a docker container the first phase will be putting it but not tied to docker container lifecycle. Second phase will be integration with a network file share where Journiv can automatically dump the export. Once I configure it I want it to just work not fiddle or worry about making backup. If backup fails I get some discord/telegram notification or within Journiv app.
  2. Flat JSON export with media. HTML static site will allow user to see entries but JSON export is critical so that the entries can also be exported some where else if the need be.

You can if you can run docker on it. As of now that is the documented path. It is possible to run it without docker but that need some documentation.

Thanks. Export will be added pretty soon. As of now you can export entries in PDF as that was one of the most requested feature. Since the beauty of self hosting is that all the data lives on your machine. You have it with you all the time. It is just a database (sqllite or postgres) and all your media files under a directory. Back up is pretty simple you just backup the docker volume or the bind mount directory which is standard for docker.

Although I do want to add a more human accessible export output which people who do not want to deal with db can use.

What kind of export would you like to see?

Yes, mobile clients are coming. I want to have adoption and sustainability before investing time and resources in launching mobile clients. That is the reason why they will come little after. There has been lot of interest and appreciation for the app as you can see in github issues so stay tuned.
