      Hello, Encryption at rest is on roadmap. End to end encryption is very time intensive to build correctly and would be an overkill for a large percentage of users who are self hosting Journiv so as of now there are no plans for e2e.

        ok thanks for the reply. I understand that this would take very much work but I wouldn’t be comfortable hosting something with potentially very sensitive data on a remote server where the admins could see the files. Unfortunately hosting on my Raspberry Pi at home isn’t possible because of this error when starting the docker containers (which seems to be a Raspberry issue).

        What is the difference between your encryption at rest and disk/file system encryption? Would the use case be that someone stealing the server couldn’t access the files?

          That makes sense. As of now I have not considered the VPS approach you mentioned but only thought of self hosting but I can see how in VPS world it is not safe. Encryption at rest can be obtained by various means

          • Have the disk encrypted like you said.
          • Have the db encrypt by a admin provided secret but in this case all users of instance share that secret and admin can technically decrypt other user data.
          • Have the app do encryption based on user provided password. This gives per user secret and encryption. So encryption at rest will be something among this preferably (3) one.

    This sounds cool. Is speech to text, with saved audio and linked transcript part of the roadmap?

      Daylio has been requested before (and I just saw it has 4 upvote, so I am guessing its pretty popular ?) https://github.com/journiv/journiv-app/issues/58

      Daylio kind of mood tracking i.e. extensive with custom mood and with activities will come soon.

      Import from Daylio is possible although I am not sure how much the demand is. The github repo has lot of import from request from different apps and import does take a lot of time to build as most apps have obscure formats and nuances to deal with or on purpose don’t support simple portable formats to lock down user data. For example see the circus one has to go through to get meaning from Daylio export: https://www.joelotter.com/posts/2022/01/daylio/

        Thanks for the details - I’m sure it’s intentional that Daylio makes it quite the circus to go through. I’m excited about Journiv in general, so I might switch over once mood tracking is all set. However, it’d still be great to be able to import Daylio as I have around 2,000 entries :)

          Daylio import will come. The blogpost above has done a lot of hard work of decrypting their obscurely secure export :) The larger lift for Journiv is building a native activity tracking system this needs db schema design update and changes. This is what I will be working on very soon once that is done export from Daylio will follow.
