About Us
Meet Nadav: an avid journaler
I'm Nadav, I started my first journal when I was 14 and have keep a journal for each day of my life since Summer 2018.
Writing each day (and looking back) has improved my memory, taught me introspection and is the key reason I share zen vibes with those around me.
I love telling people to journal and the benefits attached, but people find it hard to start the practice of writing often. No matter how much they want to, it's a hard habit to pick up. Taking time out of your day is difficult.
journi is a journal you text using the messaging app already on your phone.
how it works

Privacy FAQs
We take privacy very seriously. Seriously.
1. Are my texts kept private?
Yep. All messages are kept private. Your texts are not shown to anybody on the team, and we don't share your data with anyone else.
2. How did you make this?
journi uses Twilio to handle text messages, Airtable to keep data, SendInBlue for emails, and Integromat to connect it all. No-code is powerful, check it out! Reach out to Nadav if you want to learn more.
3. Which services do you share our data with?
We don't share your data anywhere that isn't necessary for the service to run. Your messages are sent through Twilio, received by Airtable, sent to you by an automated email using SendInBlue, and Integromat connects them all together.
4. What data are you keeping?
We keep the information you give us to sign up, which allow the service to work (phone number, email, name, time zone, frequency of messages). we also maintain the number of entries you send (to improve our service), and which features you use (aka what commands you text journi).
5. I still have more questions.
