What's inside

Two places to write. One app that keeps it private.

Jotting Journal has a dated diary and a freeform notepad. Both are locked behind a 4-digit PIN that only your child sets.

Diary
Dated entries with categories, a mood picker, and a calendar to browse past days.
Notes
A freeform notepad for ideas, lists, and quick thoughts.
Categories and stamps
Organize entries into categories. Add a mood or a decorative stamp to make each one feel personal.
PIN lock
A 4-digit PIN locks the whole app. Required every time it opens. Only the child knows it.

Why it's different

No account. No cloud. Nothing leaves the phone.

Most diary apps need an account, sync to the cloud, or charge a yearly fee. Jotting Journal doesn't. Everything stays on the device. There's no server holding your child's writing, and there's no monthly cost.

Install and open. No email, no password, no parental sign-in.

Works without Wi-Fi. Nothing is sent anywhere.

The app asks for your child's name and favorite color before anything else.

One-time purchase. No subscription, no ads.
