# A prayer journal with no third party.

_Some conversations have exactly two participants._

Written prayer is an old practice — petitions, gratitude, laments, the slow record of what was asked and how it was answered. It is also, almost by definition, the most private writing a person does. A prayer is addressed to God. It was never addressed to a server in Virginia.

Most journaling apps can't help their architecture: your spiritual life, uploaded, becomes rows in a database — governed by a privacy policy, readable in a breach, feedable to whatever the company builds next. Nothing needs to go wrong for that to feel wrong. Some conversations simply have exactly two participants.

The Sealed Journal restores that. Your prayers are encrypted on your own device with a passphrase only you know, and they go nowhere. No account, no cloud, no analytics — a quiet page that opens when you sit down and seals when you rise. Over years it becomes what prayer journals have always been: a record of faithfulness you can read back, kept in confidence.

## Questions

### Is this app tied to a particular faith or tradition?

No. It's a sealed page. Whatever your tradition's practice of written prayer looks like, the journal holds it without comment.

### Can I read back through old prayers?

Yes — entries are dated and stay in order, so you can revisit what you asked for a year ago. Many people find that reading-back is half the practice.

### Why does a prayer journal need this much privacy?

Because prayer is where people are most honest — about fear, guilt, hope, and the people they love. That candor is the practice, and it deserves real walls.
