Everything PJ does

A private journal you can just talk to, on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. One purchase, no subscription, no ads.

Capture

Just talk. Or type. Whatever's closest.

Talk or type

Say what's on your mind and PJ writes it down, or type it yourself. Your voice is turned into text right on your device, never sent anywhere to be transcribed.

iPhone · iPad · Mac

Keep your voice, not just the words

Your recording stays with the entry, so you can tap Listen to this and hear it again. On the Mac you can choose to keep only the words.

iPhone · iPad · Mac

From your wrist

One button on your Apple Watch, hands-free, in the car or on a walk. Check my Watch shows what's on its way to your phone.

Apple Watch

Start from a photo

Pick a photo and write about it. PJ keeps a small copy with the location and camera details removed.

iPhone · iPad · Mac

Start from a moment

Turn Apple's journaling suggestions, like a place you visited or a song you played, into an entry. Who and where are included only if you say so.

iPhone · iPad

Recordings are never lost

A live timer on your Lock Screen, a nudge if you forgot to stop, and interrupted recordings saved safely. A recording still waiting for its words gets them with one tap.

iPhone · iPad

Find it again

Your journal, organized the way you think.

Timeline, calendar and labels

Scroll your entries, see them by date, or sort them with your own labels.

iPhone · iPad · Mac

Search

Find any entry by what you said. Search runs on your device and never writes your words to a plain-text index.

iPhone · iPad · Mac

On this day

See what you wrote on today's date in every year, or jump straight to your oldest or newest entry.

iPhone · iPad · Mac

Pin to top

Keep the entries that matter most right at the top.

iPhone · iPad · Mac

Follow Up

Start a new entry that links back to an earlier one, so a story can continue where it left off.

iPhone · iPad · Mac

Tell entries apart at a glance

Each row shows a photo thumbnail, the recording's length, or the word count.

iPhone · iPad · Mac

Keep it safe

Private by design, with ways back if something goes wrong.

Encrypted, in your own iCloud

Your words, labels, recordings and photos are end-to-end encrypted on your device and synced only through your own iCloud. No accounts, no server, no ads, nothing collected.

iPhone · iPad · Mac

Lock it

Four numbers, Face ID or Touch ID. The lock covers your journal the instant you leave, even mid-entry, and you can still start a new entry while it's locked.

iPhone · iPad · Mac

Private mode

Put a passphrase over your whole journal for an extra layer only you can open.

iPhone · iPad · Mac

Recovery key

Your way back in on a new device, kept by you and nobody else.

iPhone · iPad · Mac

Encrypted backups

Back up your journal, encrypted with your key, and restore it when you need to.

iPhone · iPad · Mac

Deleted entries wait here until you bring them back or remove them for good.

iPhone · iPad · Mac

Your words, never held hostage

Get your journal in, and get it out, whenever you want.

Copy in one tap

Copy an entry's words, with or without its date, to paste anywhere.

iPhone · iPad · Mac

Print or save as PDF

Print any entry, or save it as a PDF to keep or share.

iPhone · iPad · Mac

Made for you

The little things that make it yours.

A real Mac app

Separate Talk, Write and Read views, and a text size that suits your screen.

Mac

Pick your icon

The PJ dragon, or a quieter look like Monogram, Pen nib, or a discreet light or dark icon.

iPhone · iPad

Check my setup

A quick check that iCloud and everything else is ready, so your journal syncs from day one.

iPhone · iPad · Mac

Help when you need it

An always-current guide, and Report a problem sends us your app version and device, never anything from your journal.

iPhone · iPad · Mac
PJ is a journal: not a medical record, a monitoring tool, or a substitute for care. It's the place you keep your own words.
