Hello everyone! First of all, thanks a lot for the [amazing response](https://lemmy.world/post/38696249) and interest in Journiv. We have [hundreds of stars](https://github.com/journiv/journiv-app/stargazers), thousands of [docker pull](https://hub.docker.com/r/swalabtech/journiv-app) and many many [feature request](https://github.com/journiv/journiv-app/issues) (and bugs reports) on Github in just two weeks (sleepless two weeks for me :)). [Journiv](https://journiv.com/) v0.1.0-beta.8 is out and in it I have added the most requested features. **Highlights:** * OIDC support (now pretty stable) * In app [one click export-import](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQRpQbyExMU) with history. So you always have your memories safe and backed up even if you don't want to deal with docker backups * Role Based Access Control for user management. * Many quality of life features and bug fixes. * Read the release notes [here](https://github.com/journiv/journiv-app/releases/tag/v0.1.0-beta.8) Journiv began as a deeply personal project, a way for me to capture memories, reflections, and the stories behind thousands of photos and videos of my fast-growing kids. What started as a tool for my own parenting journey has grown into something that fills a real gap in the self-hosting community. If you’re curious, you can read the full story behind Journiv [here](https://journiv.com/blog/the-story-behind-journiv). I’m grateful that Journiv is now helping others preserve their memories as well. **The Journey Ahead** Journiv is in active development, with a fully functional backend, a web frontend, and mobile apps launching soon. It is self-hosted, and designed to be your companion for decades. Journiv is being built because our memories deserve to be ours, forever. **So this Thanksgiving, give your family the gift of memories that last forever!**

Hello everyone! **TL;DR:** [Journiv](https://journiv.com/) is a a beautiful, self-hosted, privacy-first journaling app with mood tracking, daily prompts, and meaningful insights. The mission is simple: **your memories should always stay yours.** Own them, don’t rent them. Journiv 0.1.0-beta.4 is now live on [GitHub](https://github.com/journiv/journiv-app) and fully [Docker-hostable](https://github.com/journiv/journiv-app?tab=readme-ov-file#docker-compose-recommended). Start owning your thoughts and memories forever and keep them completely private. **The Story Behind Journiv** I got into self-hosting last year and while exploring options journaling solution, I realized there wasn’t a truly modern, self-hosted equivalent to Day One or Apple Journal. Most alternatives were either general note apps or old abandoned projects. I wanted something focused on journaling with: * “On This Day” memories * Prompt-based journaling * A clean, minimal, distraction-free writing experience So… I built my own: [Journiv](https://journiv.com/), a beautiful (at least I am trying to make it so), self-hosted, privacy-first journaling app with mood tracking, daily prompts, and meaningful insights. **Get Involved** Give Journiv a try, share your feedback and report [issues](https://github.com/journiv/journiv-app/issues). It means a lot at this stage.
