In their own words
tinythoughts
tinythoughts is a sentence-a-day journal for short daily writing. Users create text entries, choose a reminder time, and receive a different writing prompt for every day of the year. Entries can include photos or GIFs, tags for category filtering, and automatically determined mood labels. Mood views separate positive and negative entries and show trends over time. The free plan permits five image uploads a month; premium adds daily image uploads and an image gallery. Users can download their data as CSV. tinythoughts says entries use end-to-end encryption so only the user can read them. The service is available on the web, Android, and iOS, while push notifications are available in Chrome and Firefox only. The free plan includes daily text entries and notifications. Premium costs $3 a month, is free for the first 14 days, and can be canceled any time. The privacy policy mentions data collection, cookies, Firebase hosting, and protection measures that cannot guarantee security.
