Is anything in our private journals visible to the other?

No. Your private journal is yours. Only entries in the shared journal — or entries you explicitly share — are visible to your partner.

You can each export everything you've written at any time. The shared journal can be split or archived. The data belongs to you.

Can we share single entries without a shared journal?

Yes. Per-entry sharing works the same way as journal-level sharing — share one entry with one person, no need to give them the whole journal.

For couples

The bits of your life together you'll forget if you don't write them down

Keep a shared journal for the trips, the in-jokes, and the running tabs on what to do next weekend — and your own private one for everything else.

How couples tend to use it

A shared journal

Both write into the same space. The trips, the running list of restaurants, the in-jokes.

Your own private one

Stays yours. No automatic sharing. The two journals live next to each other, not merged.

Trips, properly remembered

Every weekend away gets its own page, its own map, its own little arc.

A shared page from a shared weekend

Both of you can write in. Both of you see the photos. The trip itself is its own little book.

Saturday · The cabin

The hike where the dog gave up

We made it about three miles. Theo lay down on the trail like a small protest. Carried him the last bit. Beautiful walk. Already talking about coming back in autumn.

Trip

Long weekend at the cabin

Friday → Sunday · 3 entries, 12 photos, 1 reluctant dog.

Map · Lake & ridge

What's inside

Shared journals

Both write into the same space. Permissions are explicit; nothing is shared by default.

Private side

Your own journal stays yours. The two live next to each other in one app.

Trips with map + timeline

Every weekend away becomes its own little record.

Photos that live with the words

Drop them in. They sit inside the entry, not in a separate album.

On this day, across years

What you were doing this week last year. And the year before that.

Getting started together

Mark a stretch of entries as a trip — a weekend away, a holiday, a road trip.
4
Look back on the year
Open the shared journal in December. The whole year of you, in your own words.

Where it fits

Newly together

The year you'll want to remember

Date nights, first trips, the inside jokes that are still warm. A page for the chapter you're in.

Wedding year

Wedding planning, your way

A shared journal that isn't a Pinterest board. Notes, decisions, the small wins.

Long-distance

The bits you'll tell each other later

Each of you writes into the shared journal. Read it like letters when you're back.

Long-married

A year-by-year archive

Year ten, year twenty, year forty. The journal still works the same way.

Frequently asked

Yes. You can both write into it, and you can both see every entry. You decide who can edit which entries when you invite each other.
