Rizha reading view: a fictional diary entry on cream paper

I

It cares about three things

Everything else, it tries not to do.

On your device
No sign-up, no login. Your diary lives on your own device, backed up automatically every day with the latest seven kept. iCloud sync is optional, and you can turn it off anytime.
Speak, and it's written
Tap “Speak” and your words become text. On supported devices and languages, transcription runs on-device, even offline. The microphone never turns on by itself.
Only writing
No notifications, no feed, no social, no AI writing for you. Just paper, words and white space — five paper styles and handwriting fonts.

Why I made Rizha

While tidying up my computer, I found years of diaries scattered across Markdown files, Day One and other note apps, each in its own shape.

I gathered them in one place, but there was nowhere comfortable to read them. And I didn’t want to hand them to another cloud service.

So I made Rizha, for myself.

There is so much noise outside that the voice inside goes quiet. I wanted a calm place to write it down — when I’m alone, and offline.

— Jeffrey, maker of Rizha

What it won't do

No notificationsIt won’t call you when you’re not using it.
No feed, no socialNo likes, no followers, no one else’s days.
No AI writing for youEvery word is your own.
No account requiredOpen it and write.
No ads, no third-party analyticsYour diary is not data.

Before adding anything, one question:
does it pull attention outward?
If it does, it isn’t built.

Write to yourself.

Rizha is coming soon to the App Store.
