Private Video Diary
A diary is only worth keeping if it is genuinely private. Most apps that touch your camera roll ask you to sign in, then quietly move your footage somewhere you cannot see. Dayjavu does neither, because it has nowhere to move it to.
No servers to trust
Privacy policies describe what a company promises to do with your data. Architecture describes what it is capable of doing. Dayjavu has no backend, no user accounts, and no analytics on your content, so there is no copy of your videos to leak, subpoena, or repurpose.
The strongest guarantee an app can offer is not a promise about handling your footage. It is having no mechanism to receive it.
You choose what it can see
Dayjavu reads your photo library through the system permission you grant, and you can limit that to selected videos rather than the whole library if you prefer. It only ever touches what you point it at.
Rendering runs on the iPhone’s own hardware. The finished compilation is written back to your photo library and nowhere else.
Sharing stays a decision
Because nothing is published by default, sharing is always an explicit act. Export, then send it to whoever you choose, or to nobody, which is a perfectly good outcome for a diary.
What privacy means here
- No account, no sign-in, no email required.
- No uploads. There is no server to upload to.
- Processing happens on your device.
- The export saves only to your own photo library.
FAQ
- Does Dayjavu upload my videos?
- No. There is no backend. Everything happens on your iPhone.
- Do I need to create an account?
- No. There is no sign-in of any kind.
- Can I limit which videos it can access?
- Yes. iOS lets you grant access to selected videos instead of the full library, and Dayjavu works within whatever you allow.
