Blackbox Journal TestFlight - A private, secure journal where your data is yours alone.

Hey everyone!

I’m an indie iOS dev, and I’m looking for testers for my new app: Blackbox Journal — a journaling app built from the ground up for privacy and on-device features. No data leaves your device, ever.

What makes Blackbox Journal different?

•	Brain dumps for those days when you just need to vent—no pressure to write a full entry

• Audio journaling: record your thoughts instead of typing; audio entries are clearly marked for easy access

• On-device mood analysis: After 7 days, get a weekly mood check and insights—no cloud, no sharing, all AI stays local

• Full privacy: All your data, entries, audio, and mood checks stay only on your device

• Favorite entries: Star your most important moments to revisit them later

• Affirmations: Get helpful, categorized affirmations tailored to your needs

• Journal prompts: Stuck? Get inspired with thoughtful prompts

• No logins, no accounts, no servers—ever

Want to help shape Blackbox Journal?

Thank you for helping me build a journaling app where your thoughts actually stay yours.

Hey! I love the concept and focus on privacy and keeping everything on-device, or your own storage. I'm going to test it on my iPhone 16 Pro Max running iOS 26 Developer Preview. Send me a message here or on GitHub (I have the same username) if you have a Slack or Discord or somewhere we can chat if you'd like more specific feedback, suggestions, and for me to do some bug-testing. It's easier for me than using forums. I might be able to help you translate to Russian as well, so much as my time allows.

Intriguing concept with Blackbox Journal! For more user feedback, consider adding it to TesterBuddy: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6758855094
