What it does

Multiple avatars

Every message and entry is attributed to whoever is writing. Add custom properties, notes, and group avatars into subsystems.

Channels & folders

Organize conversations and logs by topic. An "All Messages" view lets you read across all channels in one place, filtered by avatar.

Front tracking

Log who's fronting and see the trends over time.

Structured logs

Track emotions, body sensations, safety, medications, or anything else in user-defined tracker tables. View summary reports.

Full-text search

FTS5-powered search across all messages. Filter by avatar, channel, or date range.

Import from Simply Plural

Bring your existing SP data over. Members, groups, channels, chat history, front logs — all of it.

Local only

No account. No cloud. No telemetry. Your data lives in a SQLCipher-encrypted database on your machine.

Yours to keep

Export everything to a documented JSON format at any time. Back up with one click. Open the database with any SQLite browser — you don't need DS-Journal to read your own data.
