A private notes app with no account.
Most notes apps start with a sign-up form. JustYou doesn't have one. There is no account to create, no server to store your notes on, and no tracking — your notes stay on your iPhone, encrypted and locked behind your PIN.
What “no account” actually means
- No sign-up. No email, username, password or phone number. Open the app, set a PIN, start writing.
- No server. JustYou doesn't run one, so there's nowhere for your notes to be collected, breached or sold.
- No tracking. No analytics, no crash reporters, no advertising and no third-party SDKs. The App Store privacy label reads Data Not Collected.
- No remote AI. Voice transcription and text recognition run on your iPhone.
How your notes are protected
- Encrypted at rest with iOS Data Protection: hardware-backed AES-256, keyed to your device passcode.
- PIN and Face ID lock the app on launch, and the app-switcher preview is blurred so nothing shows over your shoulder.
- Lock a single thread with Face ID for the notes that need extra care.
- Networking is off by default. Even link previews only fetch if you turn them on.
- Leave whenever you like. Export everything, or delete all data in one tap.
Still a full notes app
Privacy doesn't mean doing without. JustYou works like a chat with yourself: type a note, paste a
link, snap a photo, scan a document or record a voice note. Plain English like “pay rent on
Friday” becomes a reminder, /list makes a checklist, and everything is searchable.
There are widgets, an Apple Watch app and Siri Shortcuts, and optional iCloud sync through your own
private iCloud with Premium. See all features.
Questions
Does JustYou need an account or sign-up?
No. There is no email, username, password or phone number. Your notes are protected by a PIN and, optionally, Face ID on your iPhone.
What happens to my notes if I lose my phone?
Without iCloud sync, your notes exist only on that iPhone, so export them regularly (Settings → Privacy → Export all data). With Premium you can turn on iCloud sync, which keeps a copy in your own private iCloud.
Does JustYou use AI or send my notes anywhere for processing?
No remote AI. Voice transcription and text recognition run on your iPhone using Apple's on-device frameworks. Nothing is sent to a server for processing.
