GitJournal

Published by: Vishesh Handa

Description

GitJournal is an open source note taking / journaling app built with privacy and data portability in mind. It stores all its notes in a standardised Markdown + YAML header format or plaintext. The notes are stored in a hosted Git Repo of your choice - GitHub / GitLab / Gitea / Gogs / Any Custom-provider.
Features -
- Offline First - All yours notes are available offline
- No Account Required
- Categorize your Notes with Folders
- Open source / Free Software / FOSS
- Can easily be extended and integrated with other Git tools
- Can also be used to manage Hugo / Jekyll / Gatsby websites
- No Ads
Never need to import / export your notes, as you always have control of the data. Apps may come and go, but your notes will always be with you.
Git has been chosen as a backend as self-hosting a Git server is much simpler than almost any other software, additionally there are already many commercial providers of Git. So you can choose who you want to trust with your notes. We currently don't support encrypting the notes, but it's something we're actively working on.

GitJournal Reviews

Dead :-| Unclear IAP

Der Produktivitäter on

Germany

This could be the perfect go-to app for all folks realizing a Git based PARA/Zettelkasten-like information organization. Alas! The latest change in the roadmap dates Nov '22, there are various bugs (i.e. history not loading, arbitrary sync issues demanding full resets etc). The IAP seems illogical to us: you either need to pay 12 months in advance OR pay the monthly fee until the full payment is done so you get the benefit. Not sure if this doesn't violates Apple's IAP policies. We just use the app as a mobile read-only store of a Foam repo, but in general, the app has much bigger potential.

Finally! Exactly what I have been looking for!

I have been waiting for an app storing markdown notes in git for years. Thank you so much! Finally, I have found the last piece to my note taking workflow (vimwiki with markdown syntax + git) and now my notes are also available on my mobile.

Good peace of Software - issue with restore purchases

CSandmann on

Germany

It’s a good penance of software, it’s quite useful. The “restore purchases” seams not to work as expected - it doesn’t come to an end and it’s doesn’t restore a purchase. Purchasing a second time will result in a second purchsed within the same applied!

A+

My second purchase in the App store and would say it worth the money. Thank you!

Use it daily

I use it everyday. For the most part, it’s simple and it works. Just like git.

You pay for the app and it’s still not free

anonym23 on

United States

First I have to pay $2.99 for the app, then I still have to pay for features. Worse, you are limited to only one git repository with the „free“ version that you had to pay for. App isn’t impressive. If I change a file it’s unclear how to see the git diff or see the git log for a file or everything. Can’t make sure I only commit before reviewing the changes. It’s also has some bugs like when flipping to iCloud as storage. It flips back and the files are no longer visible and git is no longer configured.

Buggy

★omarrr on

United States

Pros: - Love the idea. Cons: - Have to pay in-app to unlock all features - Buggy basic functionality (eg. Notes titles)

In app purchase busted on restore purchase.

puyanlotfi on

United States

I paid for the app. I paid for the in-app purchase for the pro version. Now when I reinstall the app it doesn’t restore my purchase! This needs to be fixed because that in-app purchase was $35!

Slow loading notes

mfperdi on

United States

The app is slow to load links to other notes. It hangs in the middle of the sliding animation while waiting for the next one.
