Everyone in the book, with photographs, the details you'd want to remember, and every night they appear in. Edit names right on the card.
A private, encrypted journal — kept together, or alone
The little black book, rebuilt.
Notchr is a private record of a love life, kept by a couple, a group, or alone. The people, the evenings, where you went, how it was and the intimate things you got up to. Then a cabinet of activities and badges you claim yourselves — a reason to try something new, and explore together. Passkey only, end-to-end encrypted. No feed, no followers, nobody reading it you did not hand a key, and not us.
30 days free, no card End-to-end encrypted Solo, or a passkey each
The ledger
Three things, kept properly.
Everything else in Notchr — the stats, the map, Wrapped, the trophy cabinet — is computed from these three, in your browser, from the only decrypted copy there is. Log them well and the rest takes care of itself.
Dates
A month-by-month ledger you edit in place. Who, when, where, how it went. Multi-day trips and venues, and every field editable where it sits.
Notes & highlights
Everything you'd want back in five years: what you wrote down that night, what was worth remembering, and the tags to find it by. Firsts get a gold star of their own.
Activities & badges
Tick what you tried. Try what you haven't.
The catalogue arrives fully stocked: twelve groups of activities, eleven sections of badges, and room to add activities of your own. It is there to give you ideas, and none of it is awarded behind your back.
- 12Groups, fully stockedTwelve of them, searchable, and yours to add to. Tick what happened; everything left unticked is a suggestion.
- 11Sections of badgesEleven of them, from the earnest to the frankly silly, and a shelf that fills up as you go.
- 1Prompts, not pointsThe unticked half of the catalogue is the point of it — something to try next, and a reason to say so out loud. Nothing is counted twice, and nothing is a score.
Nothing is ever awarded behind your back. Tagging a night puts the badges it brings within reach up for grabs; you add the ones you earned and wave the rest away. Some have nothing behind them at all — streaks, collectors and "every time" habits can't be read off a single tick, and a wrong suggestion is worse than none.
Solo or shared
Easier to write down than to say.
Creating a ledger asks who it is for. Answer "us" — a couple, or a few of you — and the book changes its subject: not who you have been out with, but what you have got up to together: the nights, the firsts between you, what is one step away, and the thing none of you has got round to yet.

- 1One book, however many of youWhatever any of you writes down, the others read. That is the trade, and it is also the point — nothing in here is private from each other, and the thing nobody would say cold over breakfast gets written down instead.
- 1One step awayMost badges have something behind them, so Notchr can name the one thing that would bring each within reach. Read it as a prompt rather than a target — it is a better conversation than the one about what to watch. It suggests; the claiming is yours.
- 1One ledger, a passkey eachAnother phone opens notchr.app and picks "Join with a code"; a device already in the ledger approves it from Settings, and the new one gets a passkey of its own. As many keys as there are of you, one book, and still nothing on our side we can read.
1 · At the start
Asked, not assumed
Just meOne person, one private record.
UsA couple or a group, one ledger between you.
The creation form asks who the ledger is for before it asks for a name, because the answer decides who reads every word after it. Change your mind in Settings whenever you like — nothing you have written moves either way.
2 · On the board
The year between you
A shared ledger swaps the strip of faces for a picture of the year you have had together: nights logged, badges claimed, and the firsts between you. Numbers nobody moves alone, which is most of their charm.
3 · What's next
Something none of you has tried
Within reach · 12Up for grabs · 4Untried · 3
Three things from the catalogue you have not tagged yet, drawn fresh whenever you ask. Underneath them, every badge that is a single step away, closest first, and the ones already earned and still unclaimed. Nobody is obliged to do any of it.
A shared ledger is still one ledger, and still nothing is awarded by itself. What you tag puts badges up for grabs; one of you claims them. One book with a key each, not several accounts passing something between them — nothing is sent to anybody, you all open the same encrypted pages. Everyone who holds a passkey reads every word, including the ones written in a bad mood, so it suits a couple or a household keeping one book and not much else. Decide together before you answer "us".
Stats & maps
Numbers only you see. Charted properly.
The stats, streaks and maps are computed from the ledger, in your browser, from the only decrypted copy there is. They stay honest because they are worked out from what you wrote, and nothing is sent anywhere to produce them.
Wrapped
Busiest month, best-rated night, new cities and countries, the firsts and the badges claimed. Twelve months on one page, last year alongside.
The cabinet
The ones you claim by hand, on the same shelf as the ones the ledger works out for itself: a pin for every city, a star for every first, a trophy at every milestone.
Streaks
A heatmap of the year, your current and longest streak, and the day of the week that shows up most.
Statistics
Every angle, charted: the timeline, the cities and countries, the venues that keep coming back, the ratings, and how the years compare.
Map
Every entry with a city on it, pinned where it happened. Years later it is the fastest way back into a night. A place name goes to OpenStreetMap the first time, to turn it into a point; the policy says exactly what.
Bring a ledger with you
Export the whole thing — people, nights, notes, photographs — as one file, and import it into another Notchr ledger or a copy you run yourself. It happens in your browser, so the archive is readable by you and nobody else.

A look around
Paper by day, velvet by night.
Two moods, one ledger. Notchr follows your phone's light and dark setting, or you pick.
Every screenshot here is of a fictional ledger — invented people, invented nights, stock portraits. Nobody's real ledger is readable to us, including for a screenshot.
Private by design
Yours. Only yours.
A journal like this only works if it is genuinely private. Notchr has no social layer at all, so there's nothing to leak, share or scroll.
Your ledger, your keysNames, notes, places and photos are encrypted on your device with a key only a passkey of yours can open. A shared ledger has a passkey each and one key between them, decided by the people keeping it. Either way we store ciphertext we cannot read.
No ads, no trackersNo analytics, no ad pixels, no fingerprinting — the only third party your browser talks to is the font service. We don't sell attention and we don't sell data.
Nothing socialNo feed, no likes, no discovery, no "people you may know". It's a notebook, not a network.
Your photos stay putPhotos and notes live inside your ledger and are shown to you only. Delete someone and their photographs go with them.
Adults onlyYou must be 18 or over to keep a ledger. The terms set out what may never go in one, and encryption changes none of it.
The long version, field by field: the privacy policy, what we do and don't do with AI, and your rights over your data.
This is the whole front door. One passkey, and it's yours.

Billing is handled by Stripe, who take the card and issue the invoice. Notchr never sees your card, and keeps no email address. The terms set out the refund window and exactly what read-only means.
Questions
Before you ask.
Is Notchr a dating app?
No, and it could not become one. There is nobody to meet here: no profile anyone else can see, no matching, no messaging, no discovery, no feed, and no way for one ledger to see another. It is a private notebook about a life you are already living, encrypted on your device before it is saved. The terms say it in as many words — not a dating, introduction or matchmaking service, and not a social network.
Who is Notchr for?
One person keeping their own record, or a couple or small group keeping one between them. You answer that when you create the ledger, and you can change it later. Either way there are no accounts to follow, no sharing beyond the people who hold the passkeys, and no social features, and there won't be.
Is it really private?
Yes. Everything personal is encrypted in your browser before it is saved, with a key derived from your passkey. Notchr stores ciphertext it cannot read. There's no feed, no discovery and nothing to make public, even by accident. The privacy policy lists exactly what stays readable — timestamps, ratings and ordinal numbers — and why.
What if I lose my passkey?
Then the ledger is gone. There is no reset and no recovery email, because nobody but you holds the key. Add a passkey on each device you trust from Settings, so one lost phone is not the end of the book.
What may go in a ledger, and what may not?
It is your own record, and what you write about other people is your responsibility. Clause 7 of the terms sets out what may never be kept in one, and end-to-end encryption does not change any of it.
Where do the activities and badges come from?
They ship with the app: twelve groups of activities and eleven sections of badges, fully stocked on day one. You can add activities of your own, and nothing stops you claiming a badge the app never suggested. Every one of them is a tag on your own entry — nothing is published, compared or sent anywhere. They are there for ideas, not for keeping score.
Does it award badges by itself?
No, and it won't. Tagging an entry puts the badges within reach up for grabs — you add the ones you earned and wave away the rest, and it stops offering those. Some have nothing behind them at all, because streaks and collectors can't be read off a single tick. Flags, cities, firsts and milestones are the one exception: those are counted straight off the ledger, because they are facts about it.
Can I take my ledger out again?
Whenever you like. Settings → Your data exports the lot — people, nights, notes and photographs — as a single archive, and the same screen imports one back into this ledger or another. It is packed and unpacked in your browser, so the file is readable by you and not by us.
Does it work on my phone?
It's built for it. The layout adapts to any screen and you can add it to your home screen. Everything, including editing in place, works with a thumb.
How do I get in?
Create a passkey at notchr.app. No email, no password. That's the whole sign-up.
What does it cost?
Thirty days free with no card asked for, then $27 a year. That's the whole thing — there's no cheaper tier and nothing held back. We set a price in each currency we sell in rather than converting the sterling one, and VAT, GST or sales tax is already inside the figure, so it is what leaves your card. Pick your country on the pricing section to see yours.
What if I stop paying?
Your ledger goes read-only. It is never locked and never deleted: you can still sign in, read every entry, search, see the statistics and the map, and take a copy of the lot. You just can't add to it until you subscribe again, and when you do, everything is exactly where you left it.
A badge for a night, or for a person?
Either. Claim one on a date and it rolls up to that partner on its own, marked "from a date". Claim it straight on the partner for what is true of them rather than of one evening, and it sits there marked "logged here".
Can we share a ledger?
Yes, if that is what you create. Pick "Us" on the creation form — a couple, or a small group — and the ledger belongs to all of you: the dashboard counts the year between you, the nights and the firsts, instead of how many people are in the book. A second device joins with a code approved from a device already in the book, and gets a passkey of its own — so it is one ledger with a key each rather than several accounts with something shared between them. Everyone who holds a passkey reads everything in it — so it suits a couple or a household keeping one book, and not much else.
What changes in a shared ledger?
The subject of every sentence. The dashboard leads with the year between you rather than a strip of faces, "Partners" becomes "Us", and a Together board shows the nights and the firsts you have between you, which badges are one step away, and which you have already earned and not claimed. The rows underneath are the same rows, so switching back in Settings changes the headings and nothing else.
