WHY PENZU?

Penzu is a diary and personal journal that is focused on privacy. With a unique and compelling user experience, it makes writing online as easy and intuitive as writing on a pad of paper.


PRIVACY

Your journal and your thoughts aren’t always meant to be shared — some things are supposed to be private! Use Penzu to jot down whatever you want. Then lock your journal with a password (or even encryption) so no one can read it but you! Furthermore, you can lock the entire app with a PIN in the event that someone gets access to your mobile device.


PENZU

Unlike other journal apps, Penzu has a web-based counterpart. So you can access your journals and diary from any web browser and other devices. Penzu is constantly being updated and improved so that the writing experience is effortless and reliable.


SUBSCRIPTION INFO

This app is free to download but requires a free Penzu account in order to start writing.

Upgrading to Penzu Pro costs $4.99 per month or $19.99 per year. Your subscription will auto-renew unless you cancel manually.

Ratings and reviews

I've had the app for awhile. but now it isn't working. I can't access one of my journals. it syncs and crashes. I'm unable to write. so I read to spark it. penzu crashes now. and it's not getting better. I'll just use it on the computer. the phone app is trash now. and im disappointed. I can't even correct. just upset and done

I have used Penzu as my journal for over 15? years. Certainly as long as 10 years. It is easy to use and designed with care and thoughtfulness. The ability to design the covers, including using a photo, is perfect. I have books for daily journaling, gratitude, dreams, poems, even thoughts about a bucket list. Thank you for this great app.

I'm a long time Pro paid subscriber. The glitches of this app are becoming absurd and infuriating. I'll write an entry and trust that it's being saved automatically (since on the app there's no separate "save" button) only to back to come back to an empty screen where only the first line was saved. This has happened dozens of times and I no longer trust the app. Which is too bad because a simple journaling app that syncs between devices is all I need and it should not be this difficult to make.
