Hello everyone!
First of all, thanks a lot for the amazing response and interest in Journiv. We have hundreds of stars, thousands of docker pull and many many feature request (and bugs reports) on Github in just two weeks (sleepless two weeks for me :)).
Journiv v0.1.0-beta.8 is out and in it I have added the most requested features.
Highlights:
- OIDC support (now pretty stable)
- In app one click export-import with history. So you always have your memories safe and backed up even if you don’t want to deal with docker backups
- Role Based Access Control for user management.
- Many quality of life features and bug fixes.

Journiv began as a deeply personal project, a way for me to capture memories, reflections, and the stories behind thousands of photos and videos of my fast-growing kids. What started as a tool for my own parenting journey has grown into something that fills a real gap in the self-hosting community.
If you’re curious, you can read the full story behind Journiv here.
I’m grateful that Journiv is now helping others preserve their memories as well.
The Journey Ahead
Journiv is in active development, with a fully functional backend, a web frontend, and mobile apps launching soon. It is self-hosted, and designed to be your companion for decades.
Journiv is being built because our memories deserve to be ours, forever.
So this Thanksgiving, give your family the gift of memories that last forever!
Awesome!!
Does Journiv support collaborating on a journal with another user? Like a shared journal but both can edit it
Shared journals is a requested features: https://github.com/journiv/journiv-app/issues/62 Please upvote the issue so it can be prioritized better.
I started hosting this last week! So far I’m liking it for daily tracking. Def curious how long term will be but I def am enjoying this.
Thank you using Journiv. Please report and feature request or bugs on Github. Regarding how long term:
- It is very dependent on the support and sustainability the project gets from the community. So if you feel the project makes your life better and is valuable to you then definitely consider contributing and supporting it https://journiv.com/sponsors
- Journiv, core mission is to let users completely control their data and enable freedom to do whatever they wan’t with it. So open data formats and robust export is being built from day one. Journiv-viewer (coming soon https://journiv.com/docs/guides/journiv-viewer#exporting-to-markdown) allow users to access their journiv export as HTML webpages completely client side and standalone HTML pages. So even if you don’t have journiv instance running years down the line you have easy access to your journals. This viewer can also generate markdown export zips with frontmatter which can then be imported to any markdown viewer or note app which support markdown without any metadata loss.
