Mini Diary is a simple, secure journaling desktop app built with Electron and React, featuring password-encrypted local storage, full-text search, themes, statistics, and import/export in formats like PDF and Markdown. The project is no longer maintained, and users are advised to switch to a different journal app.

Use cases

• keep a private encrypted journal on my desktop
• write daily diary entries locally without cloud sync
• import my journal from another diary app
• export my diary to PDF or Markdown
• search across all my journal entries
• a free open-source diary app for Mac, Windows, and Linux

When to choose

• you need a local, password-encrypted journal with no cloud dependency
• you want to import entries from other diary apps or export to PDF/Markdown
• you prefer a minimal, distraction-free writing interface

When to avoid

• you want an actively maintained app with bug fixes and updates
• you need cloud sync or mobile apps
• you might forget your password, since it cannot be reset
