Muninn is a journal that helps you write a little more, without ever
reading what you write to anyone but you.
WHY MUNINN
Most "AI journaling" apps run their AI in the cloud — your private thoughts
get sent to a server somewhere to generate a response. Muninn doesn't. The
AI model runs entirely on your phone's hardware. Your words never leave
your device, not while writing, not when the AI helps you expand an entry,
not ever.
HOW IT WORKS
Write freely, like any journal. When you want to go a little deeper, tap
"Help me expand this." Muninn's on-device AI reads what you wrote, finds
one concrete detail you already mentioned, and asks a single focused
question about it — never a vague "how did that make you feel," always
something grounded in what you actually wrote.
Answer in a sentence or two, right where it's asked. Dismiss it if you'd
rather not. There's no chat, no back-and-forth, no AI "counselor" trying to
have a conversation with you. One nudge, then back to your own words.
BUILT FOR PRIVACY, NOT JUST MARKETED THAT WAY
- Your journal is encrypted at rest on your device
- No account, no sign-up, no email required
- Nothing is ever uploaded, synced, or sent to a server — there isn't one
- Optional App Lock with your fingerprint, face, or device PIN
- No analytics, no ad trackers, no data collection of any kind
FREE, NO CATCH
Muninn is free, with no ads and no subscription. The on-device AI model is
a one-time ~584MB download, on your terms over Wi-Fi — never automatic.
After that, everything runs locally, even with no internet connection at
all.
A FEW THINGS MUNINN DELIBERATELY DOESN'T DO
- No mood-tracking gimmicks or wellness scores
- No "AI therapist" persona or advice-giving
- No streaks, no guilt-trip notifications
- No chat interface pretending to be a friend
Just a page to write on, and an occasional, grounded nudge to write a
little more.
A private journal with on-device AI prompts. No account, no cloud sync.
