Where is my diary stored?
Only on your phone, in an encrypted database. Photos and recordings are encrypted too. We don’t have a copy, and your diary is not part of Android’s system backup.
I’m getting a new phone. How do I move my diary?
This first version does not have cloud backup yet, so your diary will not move to a new phone on its own, and uninstalling the app deletes it. Please export your diary regularly with Settings → Export all entries and keep the file somewhere safe, especially before you switch or reset your phone. Backup to your own Google Drive is planned. Pro is tied to your Google account and restores on the new phone.
How many voice notes can I make for free?
3 a day, up to 1 minute each, including transcription and tidying. The count resets at midnight. Writing, photos and On This Day have no limits, and old recordings can always be played.
What does Pro include, and how much is it?
Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription (your price is shown on Google Play). It includes unlimited voice notes up to 5 minutes each, 60 minutes of transcription and 100 tidies a month, the Fumi mood stickers, handwriting fonts, extra home styles (72 micro-seasons, a daily verse, writing stats) and Pro features we add later.
Does “Tidy” change what I said?
It only splits paragraphs, adds punctuation and removes filler words like “um”. It doesn’t rewrite your style or add anything. Your original words and recording are kept, and you can switch back at any time.
Is my voice used to train AI?
No. A recording is uploaded only when you tap Transcribe on it. Our server passes it to the AI provider and does not keep it, and API data is not used for training.
I deleted an entry by mistake.
Open Settings → Recently deleted. Deleted entries stay there for 30 days and can be restored to their original date.
Are there ads?
No, and there never will be.
Is there an iPhone version?
Quiet Diary is on Android first. An iPhone version is planned.
How do I contact you?
In the app, open Settings → Feedback. You don’t need an account, you can attach screenshots, and our replies appear right there. You can also email us.
