A quiet place
to think out loud.
A private, voice-first journal. Speak or type your day — quiet reflections gently surface what stood out, without ever rewriting your words.
Coming soon on the App StoreSomething went wrong — mind trying again?
You're on the list — thanks for the interest.
A few questions
Do I need an account?
No. Aside works entirely without sign-in — everything lives on your device.
Where is my journal stored?
Locally on your device, in Aside's own storage. It isn't uploaded anywhere by default.
Can I get my journal out of the app?
Yes — Settings → Data → Export Journal produces a .zip with your entries as Markdown plus every photo you've attached.
Does Aside work without an internet connection?
Recording, typing, editing, tagging, and browsing all work fully offline. Reflections need a connection, since they're generated through a cloud request.
What happens if I turn Reflections off?
No new daily or weekly reflections are generated. Anything already generated stays until you delete it yourself.
Does Aside back up to iCloud?
Not yet — cross-device sync and backup are on the roadmap but not built.
Is my journal searchable?
Yes — the search icon on the Journal screen searches both entry text and tags.
