The Problem With AI + Private Data

When you write in a journal, you write the things you'd never say out loud. The last thing you want is that text sitting on someone else's server, used to train a model, or exposed in a breach.

But AI is genuinely useful for journaling. It can find patterns you miss, reflect things back to you, ask questions a blank page never would. The tension is real: you want AI insight without sacrificing privacy.

Most apps solve this by trusting a privacy policy. I wanted a technical guarantee.
