What is Zhurnik?
Zhurnik is a minimal daily writing app that opens directly to today's note. It stays focused on a quiet writing surface, so you can start without dashboards, setup flows, or extra UI competing for attention.
How much does it cost?
Zhurnik is free for local-only use on a single device, and that local mode will remain free. A paid plan for syncing journals to cloud storage is coming soon, but cloud syncing is not generally available yet.
Can I export my notes?
Yes. Zhurnik keeps your writing portable, so you can export your notes instead of being locked into one device or service.
Does Zhurnik support multiple journals?
Yes. You can keep separate journals for different contexts, then move between them without losing your place in the day-to-day writing flow.
What analytics are collected on the website?
The public website uses privacy-conscious analytics for anonymous pageviews and to measure whether core calls to action are helping people reach the app.
Is my journal content sent to website analytics?
No. Your journal content is not sent to website analytics. Website measurement is separate from the writing experience inside the app.
How can I send feedback?
You can send feedback through a form inside the app after signing in with your email address. If you choose to sign in, your email is the only personally identifiable information we collect for that flow.
