Foundation is a beautiful, private journal that organises your life by chapters, cycles, and milestones — not just dates. Your words stay on your iPhone, and your journal grows wiser the longer you keep it.
Foundation launches soon. The Mindvalley community gets in first — with a free launch access code and a place among the founding journalers who help shape what this becomes. As a founding member, your suggestions directly influence future releases: you help design where Foundation goes next. No payment. No catch. Just your email, so we can send your code the day we go live.
No account. No payment. No lock-in. Leave any time and take every word with you.
Watch your inbox — your free access code lands the moment we launch. Your journal is going to be beautiful, and it's going to be completely yours.
Most journaling apps file your life by date. But you don't remember your life that way. You remember the year you flew to Estonia for Mindvalley U. The year your daughter was born. The full moon you finally let something go. Foundation captures life the way you actually live it.
The only journal where your AI reflection never leaves your phone — and every word stays a plain file you own forever.
Day, week, month, year.
Becoming a Mother. Starting My Business. Healing Season.
Every milestone of the first year, kept forever.
Set intentions on the new moon, release on the full.
Most journaling apps read your words, store them on their servers, and quietly build a profile of you. Foundation can't — by design. No account. No cloud database. No company server ever sees a word you write. Everything you write lives on your own iPhone by default, and it only ever leaves the device if you explicitly decide it should. Even the reflective AI runs on-device — your journal is never uploaded, read, or used to train anything. This isn't a privacy promise on a page. It's how the app is built.
Foundation isn't a blank box you fill and forget. Every entry deepens what it understands about you — your patterns, your seasons, your voice. So its reflection gets sharper over time: your Future Self can offer advice grounded in years of who you've actually been, and you can ask your own journal what it remembers. A journal you keep for ten years should feel priceless — and it does, because it has ten years of you inside it.
A calm, beautiful place to write — organised the way you actually think.
Patterns surface. Ask your journal what it remembers; see this day in years past.
A Future Self who truly knows you, and reflection drawn from the whole arc of your life.
When you want it, Foundation reflects your words back to you — The Mirror, a conversation with your Future Self, or answers drawn from your own past entries. It all runs privately on your iPhone, and AI words are always clearly marked as AI, never mixed with yours. On older devices, Foundation is simply a beautiful journal.
On-device AI requires iPhone 15 Pro or newer.Every entry is saved as a plain, readable file on your device. Export your whole journal any time, with one tap. If this app ever disappeared, your writing would still open on any computer in the world.
A shelf of your journals with real covers. A gentle opening ritual. Considered typography. Prompt rituals for morning, evening, the Sunday review, the new moon. And a Brain Dump for the days it all needs to come out fast — with no streaks to break and nothing to feel guilty about.
No. Every entry is a plain Markdown file you can export and open anywhere — on any computer, forever.
No. It stays on your iPhone by default and only ever leaves if you choose. The AI reflection runs on-device, so nothing is uploaded, stored on a server, or used for training.
The more you write, the more your journal understands your patterns and voice — so its reflection, your Future Self's advice, and what you can ask your journal all get richer the longer you keep it.
No account, no sign-up, no email required to use the app. You just open it and write.
It's built for exactly that. Brain Dump and a shame-free return mean there are no streaks to break and no guilt for missing a day.
