Journal tools · export, backup & privacy

Keep a copy. Keep your thoughts.

A downloadable backup lets you restore your journal on another device.

Backups contain your private notes. Store yours somewhere safe. The text export is for reading; the JSON backup is for restoring.

Just for you.

Entries stay in this browser on this device. They are not sent to us. Export a copy before clearing browser data or switching devices. Anyone using this browser may see them.

Restore this journal?

This replaces the journal in this browser. Download a backup of your current journal first if you want to keep it.

Home Screen setup

iPhone · Safari

  1. Open Gather in Safari.
  2. Tap Share (it may be inside the More menu).
  3. Choose Add to Home Screen, then Add. You may also see an “Open as Web App” option.

Android · Chrome

  1. Open Gather in Chrome.
  2. Tap the three-dot menu.
  3. Choose Add to Home screen and follow the prompts.
Already written something? Back up first.

Download a backup before adding Gather, then open it from the new icon and check your notes. If they do not appear, use Restore backup. Use the same icon consistently and keep occasional backups.

A Home Screen icon is a shortcut, not a backup. It does not add cloud syncing or offline support. Clearing browser or app data can erase locally saved notes.
