Words for the shape
of your journal.
A short reference for the building blocks of Lite Journal. Useful when reading the guides, helpful when explaining the app to a friend.
Entryn.
A single piece of writing in your journal. Has a date, a time, a body, optional tags and people. The atomic unit of Lite Journal.
Tagn.
A free-form label that begins with #. Tags are created by typing them — there's no admin screen. Filter, search, and group entries by any tag you've used.
Mentionn.
A person reference that begins with @. Mentions automatically join your People pool. Type @ to surface existing names; type a new name to add it.
Calendarn.
The dot-per-day view of your year. Days you wrote on glow softly. There are no streaks and no missed-day reminders, by design.
Collectionn.
A typed log alongside your journal — Films, Travels, Concerts, etc. Collections share the same calendar, tags, and people as your journal entries.
Composern.
The writing surface itself. A single text field, a date, a time, a hint at the bottom — nothing else. Cmd+Enter to keep.
Felt-liken.
A free-text field on workouts: how the workout actually felt, in your own words. The most useful workout data, in our experience.
Row-level securityn.
Database-level isolation that ensures even Lite Journal employees cannot read your entries through a query. Enforced in Postgres, not just in app code.
Syncn.
Real-time mirroring of your entries across devices. Encrypted in transit, encrypted at rest, never used for analytics.
