Mini Diarium is a private, offline diary app for Windows, macOS, and Linux that stores entries locally in an encrypted SQLite database with no cloud or telemetry. Each entry is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it touches disk, the app runs offline with no network calls, and you can unlock the journal via a private key file in addition to other authentication methods. It is free and open source under the MIT License, designed with an encryption-first, local-first philosophy to keep your data under your control.
