What happens to what you write.

Everything you write is stored in this browser, on this device. You don't need an account to write, and until you choose to back up, there's no copy anywhere else.

That also means clearing your browser's data for eibla, or losing the device, loses the journal. Back it up (below), or use Settings → Download everything to save a copy yourself, and Restore from a download to bring it back.

In Settings you can back up your journal. You sign in with a code we email you (no password), and from then on your entries and the “About you” details are kept with your account, so they come back on a new phone or a cleared browser.

Your backup is stored with our database provider, Supabase. It's encrypted on the way there and where it's stored, and it can only be read by you when you're signed in. We don't read it, share it or sell it, and it's never used to train AI. When you delete an entry, its words are removed from the backup too.

Settings → Delete my backup removes your account and everything backed up with it, straight away. The journal in your browser stays.

Updates, reviews and CVs are put together on your device from your own entries. What you paste in, like review questions or a job ad, stays on your device too.

So we can tell whether eibla is working for people, the app sends a small note at most once a day: that someone opened it, whether they're new or returning, the week they started, phone or computer, whether it's installed, whether backup is on, roughly how many entries they have, and what kind of draft they made. Notes go to our database provider, Supabase.

A note has no ID or cookie in it and nothing from your journal, so it can't be linked to you. Switch it off in Settings, and it also stays off if your browser asks sites not to share data.

Neither this site nor the app shows ads or follows you around the web, and there are no cookies. The app remembers a few small things in your browser, like light or dark, which daily notes it has already sent, and, if you back up, that you're signed in.
