Alcovea quiet place for your life
Said softly. Kept yours.
An end-to-end-encrypted journal that fills itself — your photos, places, and days, gathered into a warm record that only you can open.

What do you want to remember from today?
Built so no one else can read it
Not Apple, not us, not anyone who takes your phone or your iCloud backup. That isn't a policy we could quietly break — it's the architecture. There's no server we run, and nowhere for your journal to go.
Encrypted, always
Everything you keep is sealed with AES-GCM-256 before it touches disk, under a key only your devices hold.
On your device
Your entries, your places, and the AI that reads them all live and run on your iPhone. No cloud model, ever.
No account, no tracking
No sign-up, no email, no analytics, no ad identifiers, no third-party SDKs. The App Store label is “Data Not Collected.”
Sync is yours
If you turn it on, sync runs over your own iCloud as encrypted blobs Apple can't read — never a server we operate.
Leave with everything
Full plaintext export and full local erase, any time. Your journal is portable, and it's yours to take.
Honest by design
Our privacy story describes the code as built — and names its own seams. Nothing aspirational.
A warm place that fills itself
Keep a moment
Open the chest, keep what matters
Write a line, dictate on-device, or keep a voice note. A warm little ritual — light from the seam, and a quiet “Kept.” when it closes. What you say is sealed the instant you keep it.
It gathers for you
Your days, arranged without a word from you
With your permission, Alcove quietly places your photos, walks, workouts, and plans onto a timeline — reading only dates and places, never uploading a single pixel.
Your world, revealed
Watch the fog clear as you move
An Atlas map that lifts the fog from the ground you've actually walked. Trails and places stay on your device — the map is yours to grow, and yours alone to see.
On-device intelligence
An assistant that never leaves your phone
Ask about your own life, and read gentle narrations of your days — every word written by Apple's on-device model. Your entries are never sent to a server to be understood.
There is no server we run. No account. Nowhere for your journal to go but with you.
