Whitesmith Diary is a local-first journal — a fast, private writing space with an encrypted database on your machine and end-to-end encrypted sync that even the server cannot read.
Everything lives on your machine in an encrypted database. The app works fully offline — the network is an option, not a requirement.
Entries are encrypted on your device before they leave it. The sync server stores ciphertext it has no way to read.
Rich text with markdown support, auto-save, and writing stats. A distraction-free surface that stays out of the way.
One app across Windows, macOS, Linux and Android. Pair devices with a code and your diary follows you.
Light and dark themes and per-page styling — your journal should look the way you want it to.
Publish pages to a shared library or discuss entries in comments — explicit acts that move content out of the private envelope.
The architecture makes promises the code keeps.
The local database is SQLCipher-encrypted; the sync key never leaves your devices.
Synced rows are opaque ciphertext plus routing metadata. Nothing server-side can reconstruct your entries.
Every release publishes SHA-256 checksums next to the download buttons — check what you install.
An account is just an email and a password for sync. Nothing else is collected.
Whitesmith Diary is a local-first journal — a fast, private writing space with an encrypted database on your machine and end-to-end encrypted sync that even the server cannot read.
