What it does

GitJournal is a mobile-first note-taking app focused on privacy and data portability. It stores notes as standardized Markdown files with optional YAML headers, and integrates them with a Git repository hosted on GitHub, GitLab, or a custom provider. The README also identifies journaling and knowledge-management use cases.

The app provides mobile applications distributed through Google Play and the Apple App Store, with screenshots documenting its user-facing interface. Its Git-based storage model lets users choose a provider and self-host or host notes through one of the documented Git providers. The supplied evidence does not document task tracking, calendar planning, whiteboards, templates, or API/MCP connections.
