The journal that
writes back.
middle place is a new type of journal – one that doesn't just store what you write but remembers who you are.
It’s been meaning to say something.
Your thoughts, beautifully organized.
Pick up exactly where you left off.
Write an entry or just talk, from the same box. It writes back and keeps what matters.
A memory that’s yours.
Notes on the people in your life, stored privately and on-device.
A timeline that fills itself in.
Plans, hangouts, moods and wins you mention get logged automatically. Moods can go to Apple Health too.
Everyone in one picture.
See the people in your life and how they connect. Friends on middle place can share the highlights of their day with you.
Find your similarities with friends based on your journal.
Compare notes with a friend to find what you have in common — without either of you handing your raw notes to each other.
Ask about everything you’ve written.
Search finds what you meant, not just the words you used, with an index that never leaves your device.
A private journal.
Photos, places, and the song that was playing. Talk instead of typing and it turns into text.
A story about you, when you want one.
Ask for a Life Report and it reads back over what you’ve written, then tells you where you are right now in a short story you tap through, with a longer letter if you want more. Nothing is written until you ask.
Roomier where you have the room.
The same journal with space to spread out, your plans in their own column beside the conversation.
A proper Mac app.
Your rooms and your people down the sidebar, ⌘N for a new entry that fills the window, and photos you can drag straight in. Everything you write on your iPhone is there too.
-
Bring your old journal
Import from Apple Journal or a folder of Markdown files, photos included. It’s read on your device.
-
Native and modern
Built in SwiftUI, so it looks and feels at home on your iPhone, iPad and Mac.
-
Bring your own key
Use your own Anthropic key, kept in your Keychain, or Apple’s on-device model, and skip our servers for replies.
-
Locked when you want it
Face ID keeps middle place closed, and the app switcher never shows what you wrote.
Every detail considered.
No ads.
No trackers.
Nothing sold.
middle place is local-first. Your journal lives on your device and uses encrypted sync. We can’t read it, and there’s nothing to sell.
A quiet place to keep with you.
