Friction is why journaling habits fail
Most journaling habits end at the point of starting: a slow load, a template to fill in, a save button you forget. Lite Journal opens on today's page with a blank writer at the top. You type; it keeps what you type. There is nothing to manage between having a thought and having it written down.
Plain text, on purpose
There's no toolbar and no formatting to fiddle with. Entries are plain text, dated automatically, and you can change the date from the entry itself when you're writing about another day. The only thing an entry can do besides hold words is link to things you mention, which is what the [[ link is for.
Private by default
Every entry belongs to your account and is protected by row-level security in the database, so no other user can read it. No ads, no training on your writing, no sharing.
