About this app

Kindiary — your private diary, kindly kept. Ad free.

A diary should feel like coming home. Kindiary is a quiet place to write, reflect, and remember — without ads, without surveillance, without anyone else watching.

Every entry lives on your phone, encrypted with a passcode you choose. Even our optional cloud backup is end-to-end encrypted: only your passcode or recovery phrase can open it.

WRITE THE WAY YOU WANT
• Type or talk — voice memos up to 3 minutes per clip (Pro)
• Add photos, sketches, and stickers
• Drop photos inline between your paragraphs (Pro)
• Mood, weather, and tags
• Daily prompts when the page feels blank

KEEP THE DIARY THAT SUITS YOU
• 21 themes — from candle-lit Vellum to crisp Foolscap
• 20 page backgrounds, or upload your own (Pro)
• Custom accent colour for any theme (Pro)
• Auto-rotate themes daily (Pro)
• Beautiful fonts including Lora and EB Garamond

LOOK BACK KINDLY

A NOTE FROM US
Kindiary is made by a small team. We don't sell your data — we don't even see it. The app is local-first; the only thing that ever leaves your phone is the encrypted backup blob, and only if you turn that on.

Kindiary is for personal reflection. It is not therapy or medical advice. If you need to talk to someone, in-app links to Samaritans, 988 Lifeline, and Lifeline are always one tap away.
