Journal app without a subscription

Your memories shouldn't come with a monthly bill

A journal is something you may keep for years. You shouldn't have to keep paying every month to access the features that make it useful.

My Tiny Journal offers a simple free experience with an optional Lifetime Unlock. Pay once, keep the unlocked features, and continue using your journal without another subscription.

See How It Works

One purchase. No recurring charge.

Subscriptions make sense for products with ongoing services, expensive cloud storage, or constantly changing content.

My Tiny Journal is different.

Your entries are stored on your device. There's no account to maintain, no advertising platform behind the app, and no company server holding your memories.

If you choose Lifetime Unlock, it's a one-time purchase.

Start for free

You can begin using My Tiny Journal without paying.

Save a memory, add an optional photo, and see whether this quieter approach to journaling fits your life.

The free experience is useful on its own. Lifetime Unlock is available for people who want the complete journal experience.

What Lifetime Unlock adds

Lifetime Unlock gives you access to additional features designed to help you preserve, revisit, and protect more of your journal.

Depending on the final release, this may include:

  • Your complete journal history
  • More ways to browse and revisit entries
  • Random Memory
  • Additional prompts and personalization
  • Backup and export options
  • More share card designs

You'll see exactly what's included before you purchase. There are no recurring charges afterward.

No ads means no advertising profile

A private journal isn't a good place for targeted advertising.

My Tiny Journal doesn't place ads beside your memories or use your entries to decide what someone should sell you.

The app is supported through its one-time Lifetime Unlock, not by turning your journal into advertising data.

Your journal stays with you

My Tiny Journal stores your journal information locally on your device. You don't need to create an account, and your entries aren't uploaded to our servers.

You can also protect the app with your device password or biometrics.
