Gratitude, your way
Keep your practice burning.
Hearth is a warm, private gratitude journal that meets you where you are — a single grateful breath on a good day, a place to be honest on a hard one. It lives on your device, works offline, and never asks you to force a silver lining.
No account needed. No ads. No tracking. Works in any browser and installs to your home screen.
What makes it Hearth
Built to be kind to real life
Most journals ask you to be consistent, upbeat, and online. Hearth asks none of that.
Nine ways to practice
Three grateful things, a single gratitude stone, a letter, a photo moment, a life-story prompt, a dream, and more — switch whenever a routine stops fitting your day.
Room for hard days
A dedicated "A hard day" mode for when things are genuinely difficult. Gratitude doesn't cancel the hard, and Hearth never pretends it does.
No streak to lose
Miss a week and nothing resets. Coming back after a gap is met with a gentle welcome, not a guilt trip. Designed for ADHD and anyone who's been shamed by a habit app.
Your words, always yours
Export everything to Markdown, JSON, CSV, or PDF anytime. Your journal is never held hostage — leave whenever you like, with all of it.
Works fully offline
On a plane, off the grid, or just protective of your data — Hearth runs entirely on your device. The internet is optional, not required.
Private by design
No ads, no trackers, no analytics SDKs, no scanning your entries. Add an app passcode or biometric lock for another layer.
How it works
Start in ten seconds
No sign-up wall. Open it and write — everything else is optional.
Open & write
Tap in and jot a few grateful words, place a gratitude stone, or pick any of the nine modes. It saves to your device instantly — no account, no internet.
Make it a practice
Optional gentle reminders, warm prompts, and an "on this day" look back help the habit take root — without pressure or punishing streaks.
Sync, if you want to
Set a passphrase and turn on Hearth Sync to keep your journal in step across phone, tablet, and computer — end-to-end encrypted so only you can read it.
Our data pledge
We can't read your journal. By design.
Everything you write stays on your device unless you deliberately turn on sync — and even then, each entry (its words, photos, moods, and even its timestamps) is encrypted on your device before it leaves. Hearth's servers only ever hold unreadable ciphertext. We don't track you, show ads, run third-party analytics, or sell your data. Ever.
