GravesDiary is a private diary, built with Avalonia and published by GravesWare, LLC. Each entry belongs to a day and can carry a rating, a mood, tags, people, a place, and photos or other files. The diary is always encrypted on your computer, and it can keep several computers in step through a folder you already have, with no account and no server involved.
GravesDiary sends nothing to GravesWare: no telemetry, no analytics, no crash reporting, no update check and no licensing call-home. See the Privacy Statement for exactly what is written to your computer and what is not.
About GravesWare, LLC
GravesWare, LLC builds genuinely useful software that does not collect more than it needs — which, in practice, means it collects nothing. No telemetry, no tracking, no data harvesting. You install it, you own it, and nothing you do inside it leaves your machine. GravesWare is independent and self-funded, built deliberately, one release at a time.
Other GravesWare software: GravesMail, a local-first, privacy-first email client; GravesPDF, a PDF reader and editor that works entirely offline; GravesBook, a private checkbook register; and GravesZIP, an encrypted archive manager. See gravesware.com for the full catalog.
Third-party notices
GravesDiary incorporates the third-party components listed below. Each remains the property of its respective owners and is used under the licence shown.
Licences and versions below were taken from the package metadata and upstream release tags of the exact builds distributed with this release. Where a native library is compiled from source by GravesWare rather than consumed as a binary package, the upstream project and the exact tag it was built from are cited.
