Description
Hey everyone — maker here. built Still because I kept abandoning journal apps for two reasons: subscription creep and never trusting that "delete" meant delete. Still does two things with an entry: keep it forever (star it) or burn it (permanently gone — the deletion ceremony is what I’m proudest of). There’s also a device-level privacy dashboard showing real numbers instead of asking you to trust a policy. Free, no ads, offline. Would love feedback on what's missing before I build what's next!
