Ryu Journal

什麼是 Ryu Journal？

Ryu Journal is a journaling app built around a quiet, distraction-free writing experience. Users can record thoughts without creating an account, joining a social feed, or relying on an online service.

After writing, the journal can be pulled down to reveal a streak, word cloud, and mood-related signals. The app’s privacy policy says entries and derived keywords, themes, and mood signals remain stored locally on the device and that the app works fully offline.

Ryu Journal 能做什麼？

Distraction-free journal editor

Write entries in a focused editor intended for private, low-pressure journaling.

Trends view

Pull down the journal to access a streak, word cloud, and mood-related signals derived from journal activity and text.

Home Screen quote widget

Keep a zen quote and a small snapshot of the latest entry available through the Home Screen widget, using local storage shared between the app and its widget.

Optional app lock

Protect access with an app lock; the passcode is kept in the device keychain and does not leave the device.

Offline, local-first operation

The app does not require an account or sign-in and states that journal content is stored locally without network requests carrying that content.

Motion-responsive Trends colors

Trends uses the phone’s motion sensors to tilt its colors as the device moves; the policy says sensor data is not stored.

Return to the Trends view to look at the journal streak, word cloud, and mood-related signals derived from previous entries.

“Keeping a reflective prompt nearby”

Use the Home Screen widget to surface a zen quote and a snapshot of the latest entry as a lightweight reminder to pause and reflect.
