Your files, on your computer
Nothing is stored on a server. Your thoughts, experiences and writing are yours forever. So don't worry about it.
Cozy is a 100% local journal. Nothing synced to a server, nothing fed to an AI. Your words stay right on your device, yours to keep or share as you please.
I wanted a journal that stays yours and feels good to open. So Cozy keeps your writing in plain files on your computer, with small touches that make you want to come back.
Nothing is stored on a server. Your thoughts, experiences and writing are yours forever. So don't worry about it.
You can add a photo or several, an audio file, or a video, whether it lives on your computer or comes from YouTube. Drop in whatever made your day so you can find it again later.
Tag your entries, mark where you were, or build your own trackers for any habit or thing you want to follow. Cozy bends to the way you like to journal.
Slip into a full-screen writing mode with soft sound in the background: rain, a forest, a café. Little touches that help you settle in and keep going.
See your entries laid out on a calendar, or pinned to the places you wrote them. However you remember, Cozy helps you find your way back.
Your journal speaks whatever language you do. Write in Japanese, Arabic, or Spanish, mix a few in one entry, and the languages that read right to left flow that way on their own.
Moving from another app shouldn't mean starting over. Cozy brings your old entries in from Day One, Obsidian, and Bear, so you keep your whole history instead of a blank page.
I built Cozy because I wanted a private place to write, not another app quietly collecting what I put into it. Everything you write stays on your own device. That's the whole point.
There's no mystery cloud. Your journal lives right where you write it, on your own computer. No breach to worry about, no subscription to pay, no stranger who can open your diary.
I don't think your private writing should be used to train anything. Nothing you write in Cozy is scraped, read, or sent off to an algorithm. No AI, simple as that.
What you write belongs to you. Maybe you're working through a rough day, maybe you're just keeping track of life as it happens. Either way, you stay in charge: keep your entries to yourself, or export and share them whenever you like.

Yes. I want Cozy to be affordable wherever you are. If you're a student, or if the price is steep for your country, email me and I'll send a discount code. Mention where you study or which country you're in so I can send the right one.
No. You're buying Cozy 1.0, and every update to it is free — fixes and new features alike. Further down the line I'll release a bigger version (Cozy 2.0, then 3.0), and those are an optional upgrade at around half the price of a new license. If you're happy with what you have, you never have to upgrade, and your Cozy keeps working.
Into a regular folder on your Mac, as simple files you can open with any app. Each entry saves the date, mood, location, and tags alongside your writing. Photos sit right next to your entries in the same folder.
A mobile version for iPhone and Android is in the works as its own app. It'll be sold on the App Store and Google Play as a separate $12 purchase — bought through the store, not unlocked by your desktop license. Writing on a desktop and writing on a phone are different experiences, and each deserves its own design. The apps read the same journal folder, so they stay in sync through iCloud, Dropbox, or whatever sync service you already use.
Cozy doesn't handle sync, but your journal is just a folder. Sync it with iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or any similar service and you're done.
No, and I don't plan to add it. Your entries are regular files on your computer. If you ever want to use an AI tool with them, you can, on your own terms. Read more about why.
Buy Cozy once, and it covers every Mac and Windows you own. Simple as that.
