End-to-end encrypted
Turn on a passphrase and your entries are encrypted on your device. No one else — us included — can read them.
AI is opt-in, per-use
Your companion only reads an entry when you choose to share it. Nothing is sent to any model by default.
No ads, no data sold
You're the customer, not the product. We make money from a simple subscription — never from your thoughts.
Private and intelligent — finally both.
Most AI journals read everything you write on their servers. Most private journals can't reflect with you at all. Balm is the rare place you don't have to choose.
A companion who reflects with you
Talk things through with Sage. Ask for a gentle weekly reflection on the themes it notices — private by design.
See how you're really doing
A one-tap mood scale, a mood-over-time trend, streaks that never punish you, and “on this day” memories.
Write the way you think
Rich text, photos, tags, folders and search. Guided prompts and templates for the days the page feels blank.
Yours, everywhere
Dark mode, adjustable text, high-contrast themes, and reminders. Calm, accessible, and installable on any device.
