A slower Saturday
Coffee on the windowsill. The first cool morning of September. Nowhere to be for a little while.
A few things worth keeping
- Morning coffee
- A walk in the park
- Good conversation

Your life.
Yours to write.
A journal to remember what matters,
understand yourself, and shape what comes next.

An AI journal.
Without paying for AI twice.
AI inside Yours, powered by a supported subscription you already have.
Planned for a future release. Journalling works without AI.
Why I made Yours
“I wanted a digital journal that felt like a beautiful notebook—one you can’t wait to fill and want to keep for years.”
Made with care. Used every day.

A few things you might be wondering.
Is Yours really a one-time purchase?
Yes. One purchase licences the app on one device. There’s no subscription for journalling. Optional cloud backup and storage will be separate.
Is the built-in AI available now?
Not yet. Built-in AI is coming soon and is planned to use a supported AI subscription you already have. You’ll pay for the Yours app, without paying for AI twice. Supported connections will be announced when it’s ready.
Where are my journals stored?
In a folder you choose on your Mac. Entries are ordinary Markdown files, with images stored alongside them. Browse, copy, back up, and edit them directly. No export needed.
Can I journal without AI?
Absolutely. Yours is a complete journalling app on its own. Write, add photos, and organise your journals without sharing anything with an AI tool.
Can I write offline?
Yes. Entries are stored locally and you can write offline. An internet connection is needed to activate and periodically validate your licence. The current licence allows 14 days between successful online checks.
Are my journal files encrypted?
Yours stores readable Markdown files. They aren’t encrypted by the app. Your Mac’s security and any backup or AI services you choose also affect who can access your writing.
What happens if I stop using Yours?
Your journal folders stay on your Mac. You can keep reading and editing the Markdown files with other apps. Your writing belongs to you, independently of Yours.
Which devices does Yours support?
Yours is available for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. One licence covers one device. Optional cloud backup and storage are coming soon and aren’t included in the current app.
