Your journal is locked on your phone
Each entry is encrypted on your phone. It's backed up automatically, encrypted, so your journal comes back if you reinstall or change phones.

Questions
Is Serene therapy?
No. Serene offers kind words, breathing and a private journal. It isn’t therapy, diagnosis or a crisis service. If you’re in danger, call your local emergency number, or call or text 988 in the US.
Will it nag me?
Never. Reminders are optional and silent, at a time you choose, and they stop on their own if you take a break. Your streaks show the days you kept going, never the ones you missed.
Where is my journal kept?
On your phone, encrypted. It's backed up automatically as an encrypted copy with your account, so it comes back on a new phone. Deleting your account deletes that copy. A Premium weekly reflection reads that week once, only when you ask, and nothing is kept.
What does it cost?
Serene is free. Premium is $4.99 a month or $24.99 a year in the US, with a 14-day free trial. A friend’s invite code gives you both a free week.
Does the app show ads or track me?
The app has no ads, no analytics and no tracking tools. We don’t sell data, and we keep only what the app needs to work.
Is it on Android?
Soon. Serene is on the App Store now and coming soon to Google Play.
How do I delete my account?
In the app, open Profile, then Delete account. Everything goes at once. Without the app, follow these steps.
