Journal
A private journal in one HTML file on your machine: no account, no cloud, no server to talk to.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here: go on, put something in it.
Forged into a knife, this tool ages with use: the blades you reach for wear soft, entries you tend keep their bloom, and the years travel with the file through every reforge.
The days go by in a blur, and the blur keeps no minutes. Journal takes them: a line for today, a mood from glum to beaming, the entry itself at whatever length the day earned, and the date. Six months on, reading back is like getting letters from someone who knows you suspiciously well.

Standing facts
- One HTML file. Opens in any modern browser, on any operating system.
- No account. No login, no sign-up, no e-mail wall.
- No cloud. Nothing leaves your browser: no server, no telemetry, no analytics.
- Yours forever. The file keeps working whether or not Offline.Ltd does.
- Ages with use. Entries you tend keep their bloom; the years travel with the file through every reforge.
In ten years
Whatever you put in (Today, Mood, Entry and Date) stays inside the file itself. There is no account to lapse, no plan to be sunset, no migration e-mail with a deadline in it. A decade of journal entries is a decade of your own handwriting, kept in a document you can back up like any other.
If Offline.Ltd closes tomorrow, nothing on your machine notices. That isn't a marketing promise; it's simply what a file is.
Getting your data out
Export to CSV from inside the tool and open it in anything: a spreadsheet, another app, a text editor. Or keep the HTML file: it is plain, readable, and inspectable; you can open it in a text editor and see your own rows sitting there. No export queue, no "we'll e-mail you a link within 48 hours", no format that only one vendor can read.
Copy the file to a USB stick, a NAS, a folder your devices already sync. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, online or off, because a browser is the only thing it ever needed.
Questions people ask
How does this Journal work?
Each entry holds a line about today, a mood on a five-face scale, the entry itself, and the date. Some days that's three sentences; some days the one line and a face is plenty, and that counts too.
What if I miss days? I always abandon journals.
Nothing happens, which is the design. There are no streaks and no reproach — the page simply waits, and an entry a week kept for years beats a daily habit abandoned in February.
Can anyone read my journal?
No one but you. It's a single HTML file running offline in your browser — no account, no cloud, no company with a copy. The most private kind of diary: one that never leaves the page, in a file you own forever.
