Privacy-first journaling here means the default is local. Stillena stores journal entries in the app on your iPhone. You do not create a Stillena website account to write.
On-device storage
Your words, photos attached to entries, and related details stay in local app storage unless you later choose a feature that sends text somewhere else.
App Lock
You can enable App Lock with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. Stillena does not receive or store your biometric data. The device performs authentication.
Optional Cloud AI
Stillena prefers Apple on-device AI when your device supports it. Cloud AI is optional. If you enable it, the text needed for a request can pass through the Stillena backend to an external AI service. You can turn Cloud AI off in Preferences.
The website uses Firebase Analytics for page views and selected interactions. That is separate from your journal entries. Read the full policy for cookies, purchases, and contact details.
