# A journal for writing that is not ready to be shared.

_Encrypted, offline, quiet. No prompts, no analysis, no external storage of any kind._

Trauma writing is often years ahead of trauma sharing. The page is the only safe witness for a long time.

The Sealed Journal is built so that the page can stay the only witness for as long as you need it to.

If and when you decide to bring some of it into a room with another person, that decision is yours alone.

## Questions

### Is it safe to write about things I have told nobody?

That is what the encryption and the absence of sync are for. Nothing is uploaded, indexed, or backed up without you doing it.

### Should I write about trauma without support?

Expressive writing helps many people, but if the material is overwhelming, do it with a clinician rather than alone at 3 a.m.

### Can I destroy an entry completely?

Yes. Delete it, or delete the whole file. Without your passphrase, what remains on disk is noise.

## Price

The Sealed Journal is a one-time purchase of $24 (introductory price, rising to $29). No subscription, no account, lifetime updates, 30-day refund. Buy at https://sealedjournal.com/#pricing
