Flimbe: A free, privacy-focused journaling app I built (iOS)

Comments (1)

alex_cavalcante · 23h ago

Flimbe is a journaling app I created, available for free on the App Store. I built it after trying many different journaling apps and finding that none of them fulfilled my needs. There are tons of journaling apps out there — it feels like two new ones pop up on r/DigitalJournaling every day — but none offered what I was looking for: privacy, a simple mood tracker, no data logging, a free price tag, and local-only data storage.

That’s why I decided to make Flimbe myself.

I’m considering turning it into an open source project. I know it’s a pretty simple app, but with help from others, I think it could become much better for everyone using it (including myself). I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!
