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.

    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.

    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

    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.

  • Perfect Fit!

    The perfect smart device companion for anyone who keeps their notes in a git repo. If you don’t always have access to your computer when you need to create or review your text notes, this app handles those situations flawlessly. This launches faster than most syncing note editors, and the interface is intuitive and clean. After testing editing on multiple devices with a git repo on a personal server in an attempt to stress test it, all interactions were reflected correctly in the git history. I could not be more pleased with this app!

    I have been looking for a git-based not-taking app for iOS for a long time. So glad this is finally here. GitJournal does a great job making the commit/push/pull process a seamless “sync” like other note apps.

  • Good:)

    I am not able to write a single entry. Also, it does not appear to support all git URLs, so, for instance, if you want to sync with a git server non a non-standard SSH port, you can't.
