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.

        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?
