What happens if I clear my browser data?

A local journal is erased with the rest of the site’s data. That’s why Dogood lets you export a full backup at any time — keep one somewhere safe every so often.

Can I use Dogood on more than one device?

Yes, with Dogood Plus: sync keeps your journal the same on your phone and your computer, through a hidden folder of your own Google Drive. Protect the journal with a passphrase and what goes there is sealed: Google sees file names, never a word, and neither does Dogood. Without Plus, export a backup on one device and restore it on the other.

What does encryption protect?

With a passphrase, entry titles and text, chapter names, goals and image links are encrypted with AES-256-GCM, using a key derived from your passphrase (PBKDF2, 310,000 rounds). Dates, moods and word counts stay unencrypted. The key only lives in memory while Dogood is unlocked, it locks itself when idle, and a forgotten passphrase cannot be recovered.

Does Dogood collect any data?

Only if you opt in to anonymous usage analytics — counts of actions like “entry created” or “book previewed”, never your words, titles, searches, moods or images. Feedback is sent only when you submit the feedback form yourself, and a dictation only when you tap Dictate.

Can I print a real book?

Dogood lays out a book — cover, table of contents, one entry per page, photos and a closing page — and opens your browser’s print dialog. Print it at home or save it as a PDF for a print shop.

Does it work offline? Can I install it?

Yes. Dogood caches itself as you use it, so after a visit or two online it keeps working without a connection. You can also add it to your home screen or install it from your browser like an app.

Writing in Dogood is free, with no account: the journal with a photo a day, chapters, goals, habits, Lifetime, encryption, backups and printing at home. Dogood Plus is the paid part, paid once and kept for life: unlimited photos, print-ready files for any print shop, dictation, and what Plus adds next. It can be given as a gift.

Can I speak instead of typing?

With Dogood Plus, yes: tap Dictate, talk for up to five minutes in any language, and the text joins your entry. The recording is turned into text by Whisper on Cloudflare Workers AI and is never kept, by Dogood or by Cloudflare; it is the only time anything you say leaves your device, and only when you tap Dictate.

Free, no accountYour journal never leaves your deviceStays on your device

One day, you’ll want to remember today.

Without a few words, the days blur into one another. Two minutes are enough to keep today, or any day you remember: a few lines, private on your device. Next year, that day comes back to you.

A habit that quietly compounds.

Five minutes a day is enough. Dogood does the remembering, sorting and adding-up for you.

01
Write today’s page.
Open Dogood and today is already waiting. Give the day a title, write a few lines, pick a mood. Miss a day and nothing nags you: write it tomorrow, or simply move on.
02
Fill in the years before.
Dogood is not only for today. Open any date, yesterday or twenty years ago, and write what you remember: your first job, a wedding, a summer by the sea. Each page files itself in its year and its chapter, and your story fills in backwards.
03
Name the seasons.
A new job, a new city, a new love. Give a stretch of life a name and every day inside it files itself into that chapter — past days included.
04
Relive the days that mattered.
Open Dogood on any date and it brings back what you wrote on that day in earlier years. Search every word, or tap a day in Lifetime to step back into it — the small details you would have forgotten are still there.
05
Watch the years fill in.
Lifetime turns each written day into a dot, coloured by how it felt. Streaks, words and whole years, at a glance — and every dot opens the page behind it.
06
Hold it in your hands.
When a year, a trip or a chapter feels complete, Dogood lays it out as a book with a cover and a closing page. Print it, or save a PDF.

Small tools that keep you writing.

Tick a habit, aim for a goal, find any word, say the day out loud when typing feels like work, and write anywhere, even without a signal.

Habits

Tick the day off

A few habits at the bottom of each page: a walk, ten pages, no phone after ten. One tap each, and streaks that never scold.

Find any day in seconds

Every word you have written, or a day, a month, a year or a trip.

Goals

From this month to someday

Monthly, quarterly and yearly goals, long-term direction and a bucket list, with steps to tick off.

DictationPlus

Say it instead

Too tired to type? Speak the day in any language and Dogood writes it down. The recording is never kept.

Offline

Write at thirty thousand feet

Dogood lives on your device, so it needs no signal. Write the trip as it happens in airplane mode, or reread the years before while the clouds go by.

Every day you write becomes a dot.

Each dot is a page, coloured by how the day felt. In Dogood, every one of them opens the entry behind it.

Your coloursDogood’s colours, included

Private by design, not by promise.

Dogood has no server holding your journal. What you write is saved in your browser, on your device — and nowhere else.

It lives on your device

Entries are stored in your browser’s own storage. There is no account to create and no server holding your journal.

Encrypted, if you want

Add a passphrase and titles, entries, chapter names, goals and image links are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. The passphrase never leaves the device — and can’t be recovered.

Nothing to read, nothing to sell

No ads. Usage analytics stay off unless you opt in, and even then they only count actions like “entry created” — never your words.

Always yours to take

Export a complete backup whenever you like and restore it on another device. An encrypted journal stays encrypted in its backup.

The Lisbon yearSunday, April 12, 2026The morning the fog lifted

Walked down to the river before anyone was awake. Ana called from the station — she got the job in Lisbon. Wrote this on the tram home, still smiling.

Tonight: pastéis de nata on the station steps, and a list of every street we want to learn by heart.

Made for the long run.
