Ethos
A private journal for the principles you live by — and the experiences that shape them.

Your principles, your journal, your habits — connected in one private space.
Ethos is a private, encrypted journalling app built around a simple but powerful idea: that who you are is not fixed, and that the gap between the person you intend to be and the person you actually are is worth studying honestly.
At its core is a journal — but entries are more than diary entries. Each one is linked to your ethos: a living record of the principles you want to live by. When life teaches you that an old belief was too simple, you refine it, note why it changed, and link the revision back to the experience that prompted it.
A habit tracker lets you see whether your daily actions reflect your stated principles. And once a week, a reflection prompt — generated from your own data — asks you to look at the pattern: what held, what didn't, and what needs to change.
All of it is encrypted and stored in a file you own. No server holds your data. No algorithm reads your reflections.
It belongs entirely to you.
