A private journal
for the decisions you make
and the ones you want to get better at.
Capture a decision as you make it. Come back months later and log how it actually played out. Slowly build a real picture of your own judgment — on your Mac, never in the cloud.
Most people never review their decisions.
We make hundreds of choices a day and forget them by dinner. The big ones fade into vague memory — was that a good call? Did I learn anything?
A decision journal fixes that. Write down what you decided, why, and what you expect. Months later, review it. The gap between your intuition and reality is where growth lives.
Built to stay private.
This isn't a web app with a login. It's a native Mac app that stores everything locally, encrypts it, and blocks its own network access. Your data is yours. Full stop.
No subscription, no sync, no surveillance. Just a quiet place to think clearly and honestly about how you make choices.
What you get
Your journal stays on your Mac
No accounts. No cloud. A kill-switch in the main process blocks every outbound request by default — your decisions never leave your machine. Not even analytics.
Zero network by defaultEncrypted at rest
A 256-bit key encrypts your database. Your PIN wraps that key via Argon2id, and the macOS keychain wraps it again. Copy the file off your disk and it looks like random noise.

Chat with a local Ollama model about past decisions. Dictate new ones with on-device Whisper. No prompts, no audio, and no text ever leaves your Mac.

Set a review date when you log a decision. The app reminds you when it's time to reflect. Track your mental state, confidence, and outcomes over time. Spot your patterns.

How it works
Log a decision
What are you deciding? What's the context? What do you expect to happen? Capture it in the moment while it's fresh.
Set a review date
Pick a future date to revisit this decision. A month, a quarter, a year. The app will remind you.
Review and learn
When the time comes, log what actually happened. Compare your prediction to reality. Build a record of your judgment.
