A minimal journaling app for macOS. No clutter, no distractions — just you and your words.
Pick your entry type, set a mood, choose your font. Chronicle gets out of the way so you can focus on what you want to say.

Full-screen writing with rich formatting, multiple typefaces, and a floating toolbar. Distraction-free, beautifully typeset.

Click through entries, edit text, feel the experience. This is Chronicle — right in your browser.
"The best journal is the one that stays open on your desk, inviting you to write."
— The philosophy behind Chronicle
Not a web app wrapped in Electron. Chronicle is a native macOS application, crafted with SwiftUI. It feels like it belongs on your Mac.
No sign-ups, no servers, no subscriptions — one payment and it's yours. Your journal entries never leave your machine unless you choose to export them.
Glass-effect panels, smooth animations, spatial typography. Every interaction is considered — from entry transitions to sidebar scrolling.
Track how you feel with mood indicators. Organize with tags and collections. Find any entry in seconds or browse your timeline.
No subscription. No account. No trial that expires on you.
Download it whenever you like — it asks for your key the first time you open it.
Paste the key, and that's the last you'll hear about licences.
macOS 26 or later. First launch: right-click the app → Open.
€9.99, once. Yours on every Mac you own.
