## About

Plume is a private journal for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Capture gratitude, memories, accomplishments, to-dos, and free-form thoughts, or dictate an entry when typing is inconvenient. Calendar browsing, guided questions, writing streaks, word counts, and activity views help turn daily notes into a longer-term picture of your life.

Zen Mode provides a distraction-free writing space, while optional AI tools can examine only the entries and period you choose through a configured provider. Plume works without an account, stores entries locally in an encrypted database, supports optional iCloud sync, device authentication, and free export. The interface is available in English, French, and Spanish.
