HIBIZO

A private journal for your days.

Entries, moods, tags, photos, places - encrypted on your device before they ever touch storage, so no one else can read them.

Using AES-256-GCM encryption technology, this ensures your data stays yours.

PRO version can be unlocked for a one-time cost, that we hope feels like a "tip" to us for developing HIBIZO for you.

Available in English, Chinese (Simplified, Traditional), and Japanese.

* Chinese (Simplified, Traditional), and Japanese use AI translations, so we apologize if there is anything that sounds odd.

No Ads, No Prompts for Ratings, Only you, your thoughts, and the occasional butterfly to keep you company (that you can turn off in the settings).

Available for iOS on the Apple App Store

Coming soon for Android.

Story

HIBIZO is a private notes and diary application for mobile smartphones, designed for people who want a beautiful, daily, and genuinely private place for their thoughts, observations, and memories.

Why we built it

Most journal apps sync plain text to a server run by someone else, protected by their password. That's a lot of trust to hand over for something as intimate as a daily record. HIBIZO flips it : your passphrase unlocks a key stored in the "Secure Enclave" (that is an iOS term; Androids use a variety of similar protection technologies depending on the actual phone), that key encrypts your data locally with AES-256-GCM, and only ciphertext leaves the device. If you enable iCloud Sync, Apple's servers see encrypted byes and nothing else. Similarly for Android, only encrypted data leaves your phone, keeping your privacy where it belongs, with you.

Zero knowledge, by design

There is no account to create. No email, no username, no analytics, no tracking pixels, no third-party SDKs. No way for us to see your entries even if we wanted to - the encryption is end-to-end with keys we never hold. Recovery happens through your 12-word passphrase (BIP-39, the same format password managers recognise). Lose it and nobody - including us - can decrypt your archive. That's the point.

The name HIBIZO comes from Japanese 日々象 — hibi (日々, "every day") + zō (象, "elephant"): a daily elephant, because elephants don't forget.

What can it do? Everything we thought a journal should do (and probably a bit more)

Secured by the most advanced open-source encryption (AES-256-GCM), this creates a "vault" that is only accessible to you (don't lose your vault keys). All data in HIBIZO goes into this "vault".
Make a journal entry and attach photos, tags, mood, and a geo-location.
Search your journal entries by text or tags.
See a calendar with your journal entries for that date, or range of dates.
See a map with your journal entries that have a location set (use pins, or photos)
Have fun with metrics to grow your garden tree as your journal grows.
Collect badges for completing metrics milestones.
Sync your "vault" to iCloud (iOS) so you can recover it on a new device.
Save your your "vault" to a file so you can import it on another device or the same device.
Send a photo from photo-app to HIBIZO directly.
Unlock a PRO version with even more features for a small one-time cost.
*NEW* v1.1 - coming soon
- add a number and what it means : km, miles, kg, push-ups, USD, HKD, JPY, CNY whatever you want.
- PRO users, export to Excel, CSV, TSV (including any numbers you add).
- Cmd-B, and Cmd-I on the iPad toggle Bold and Italics with a keyboard (small but useful).
- Better handling for synchronizing 2+ devices through iCloud.
