Post Like Social Media. Private Like a Diary.
Pineapple Log is a free private journal for iPhone that lets you post text, photos, voice memos, sketches and to-dos to a timeline that stays on your phone, with no account.
It's all the ease of scrolling through a timeline, the feel of social posting to journaling - without the performance. Capture your day in whatever format feels right.

Media Is Pineapple Log the right journal app for you?
Best for
- People who like posting like on social media, but want no audience.
- Quick entries in any mix: a photo, a voice memo, a checklist.
- Journaling fully offline — no account, no cloud.
Not for
- Mood tracking or daily ratings — a mood tracker like Daylio fits better.
- Using it on more than one device or wanting automatic cloud backup.
Why Pineapple Log?
1. Journal the way you actually think
Not every day needs a perfectly crafted entry. Sometimes it's a photo. Sometimes it's a voice note on your walk home. Sometimes it's just checking off your to-do list. Pineapple Log lets you capture life as it happens.
Text Notes
Quick thoughts, long reflections, random ideas—write it out
Photos & Videos
Capture the moments that matter—or just that really good latte. No need to make it Instagram-worthy.
Voice Memos
Sometimes talking is easier than typing. Press record and let it flow.
To-Do Lists
Brain dump your tasks, plan your week, or make a list of things that made you smile today.
Sketches
Doodle your feelings, draw your dreams, or just scribble while you think.
2. Your timeline, your rules
Multiple Calendar Views
Yearly and monthly views, see your entire month at a glance, with pineapple icons showing your active days. Browse your days like a personal feed. Jump to any date—past or future.
Update the Past, Capture Now, Plan Forward
Use it as a journal for today, update the yesterday or a planner for tomorrow. Your timeline, your rules.
Your story, organized the way timelines should be, chronological and easy to navigate.
3. Actually private
No cloud sync drama, no terms of service changes, no tracking, no "we respect your privacy but..." Local storage means your journal stays on your device. Period.
4. Features for Real Life
- Light & Dark Mode: journal at 3pm or 3am - we've got you covered.
- Widget Ready: your current month, right on your home screen.
What We Don't Do
We're not here to analyze your feelings or gamify your mental health. Pineapple Log is just a place to be—messy, mundane, or magnificent.
Real journaling for real people.
The Pineapple System
Track your journaling consistency with a simple visual: golden pineapples for productive days (4+ posts), green pineapples for lighter days. It's not about pressure—it's just a fun way to see your patterns.
For People Who Don't Journal
You don't need to be a "journal person" to use Pineapple Log. If you've ever taken a random photo, made a voice note, or written a list on your phone, you're already doing it. We just made it easier to keep it all in one place.
