Pile is an open-source desktop app for reflective journaling that keeps entries stored locally. It optionally integrates AI (OpenAI GPT-4 or local Ollama) to generate reflections on entries and answer questions across the whole journal.

Use cases

  • keep a private digital journal on my desktop
  • journal locally without my data going to the cloud
  • get AI insights and reflections on my journal entries
  • search and ask questions across my entire journal
  • journal in short bursts over time

When to avoid

  • you need mobile or web access to your journal
  • you want a mature, feature-rich journaling platform with sync and collaboration
  • you are unwilling to configure AI API keys for the AI features
