Almanac
A quiet place to write it down.
Almanac is a journal designed to be kept for a lifetime: private by construction, quick to open, and stored in formats that will still be readable long after any app — including ours — has changed.

Capabilities
What Almanac does.
An end-to-end encrypted journal with daily prompts, and exports you can open in any decade.
- 01
End-to-end encrypted
Entries are encrypted on your device before they sync. We can't read them, and neither can anyone else.
- 02
Gentle prompts
One optional question a day, for the evenings when the page feels blank.
- 03
On this day
Revisit what you wrote a month, a year, or a decade ago — quietly surfaced, never pushed.
- 04
Plain text, forever
Export everything as Markdown with photos alongside. No proprietary format, no lock-in.
In practice
Promises, specific to Almanac.
Our principles only mean something when they're concrete. Here is what they look like for this app.
Zero-knowledge sync
Your encryption key never leaves your devices. Our servers only ever hold ciphertext.
Your words train nothing
Your writing is never used to train models — ours or anyone else’s.
Built to outlast us
If Almanac is ever retired, you'll get at least a year's notice and a complete, readable export.
When will Almanac be available?
Almanac is in development. Leave your email on this page and we'll let you know when early access opens.
What if I forget my password?
Because entries are end-to-end encrypted, we can't reset access for you. Almanac gives you a recovery key during setup — keep it somewhere safe.
Can I import from another journal?
Import from plain text and Markdown is planned for launch. Tell us which app you use today and we will prioritise accordingly.
