About this app

Anchor is a privacy-first diary, journal and mood tracker. Write freely, track how you feel, and look back on your own words. Everything stays on your device: no account, no tracking, no cloud.

YOUR PRIVACY IS THE FOUNDATION
Your journal is encrypted on your device with SQLCipher (AES-256). Your PIN is salted and hashed, never stored as plain text. Screenshot protection blocks screen capture and recording. Anchor collects zero analytics and sends zero data to any server.

JOURNAL YOUR WAY
Write in a clean, distraction-free editor. Record a voice note when typing is too much. Add mood and energy to any entry. Mark an entry private so it stays behind your PIN. Keep gratitude notes, dreams and quick notes alongside your daily diary.

TRACK YOUR MOOD AND ENERGY
Check in with simple, visual mood, energy and stress scales. Weekly and monthly charts show your patterns over time, so you can understand your own rhythms without anyone else seeing them.

CALENDAR AND EVENTS
Keep birthdays, anniversaries and personal milestones in one place, right next to the entries you wrote that day. Your calendar stays local and never syncs to an external account.

KAI, YOUR OPTIONAL AI COMPANION
Kai stays off until you turn it on, and it runs on your own API key. You choose exactly which entry types it may read, and how long conversations are kept. No key means no AI, and nothing leaves your device.

SECURE BY DESIGN
- On-device encryption (SQLCipher, AES-256)
- PIN lock with fingerprint or face unlock
- Screenshot and screen recording protection
- Share Mode, so you can hand your phone to someone safely
- Encrypted backups with a password you choose
- No analytics, no telemetry, no data collection

BACKUP AND RESTORE
Create encrypted backups protected with AES-256. Keep them on your device or send them to Google Drive or iCloud. The backup is encrypted before it ever leaves your phone, so only you can read it.

DAILY REMINDERS
Set a gentle reminder to write or to check in. No streaks and no guilt trips, just a quiet nudge when you want one.

BEAUTIFUL THEMES
Light, dark, earth, pastel and more. Anchor adapts to your style.

FULLY OFFLINE
Everything works without an internet connection. Your data never leaves your device unless you choose to back it up.

AVAILABLE IN
English, German, Arabic, Spanish and French.

BUILT WITH CARE
Anchor is built by an independent developer who cares about privacy and wellbeing. No venture capital and no growth targets, just a thoughtful tool built to last. Core features need no subscription.
