Why Lifespeed?

Millisecond Launch

Open the app and start typing immediately. No splash screens, no loading spinners, no waiting. Your journal is ready before you can blink. Because the best journal is the one you'll actually use.

Mobile-First Design

Designed for phones first, scales beautifully to desktop. Capture thoughts on the go with thumb-friendly controls and quick-entry modes. One-handed operation when you need it.

Your Data, Your Storage

All data stays on your device - plain markdown files you own forever. No proprietary cloud, no subscriptions, no data harvesting. Sync via any cloud service you choose, or keep it fully local.

Features

Instant Launch

Open the app and start typing immediately. Launch to cursor in milliseconds - no splash screens, no loading spinners, no waiting.

Markdown with YAML Frontmatter

Full markdown support with headers, lists, links, code blocks, and more. YAML frontmatter lets you add tags and metadata to every entry.

Fuzzy Search

Powered by Fuse.js - find anything fast with intelligent fuzzy matching. Search across all entries to locate any thought instantly.

Multi-Journal Support

Manage multiple independent journal directories. Switch between personal, work, and project journals with keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+J).

Offline-First

All data stays on your device. No cloud dependency, no internet required. Your entries are yours, stored as plain markdown files.

Cross-Platform

Identical experience on desktop (Tauri 2) and mobile (Capacitor 6). Windows, Linux, and Android with light and dark themes.

Why Speed Matters

Most journal apps fail not because of missing features, but because of friction. Every second of delay between "I should write this down" and actually typing is a chance for the thought to slip away.

Lifespeed eliminates that friction. Launch to cursor in under 100ms. No loading screens. No sign-in prompts. No syncing indicators. Just you and your thoughts.

The result? You'll actually use it. Daily journaling becomes effortless when the barrier is essentially zero.
