Mini Diarium is an encrypted, local-first desktop journaling app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It stores entries in a local SQLite database with AES-256-GCM encryption at rest, supports rich text, multiple journals, import/export, automatic backups, and never sends your data over the network.

What's novel

the combination of strong privacy constraints with a modern desktop UX: no cloud, no telemetry, no hidden sync, but still a polished cross-platform app with rich editing, multi-journal support, plugins, and structured import/export. Architecturally, it uses a wrapped master-key model with multiple auth methods, so passwords and key files can be added or removed without re-encrypting the whole journal.
