Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Rafa, the developer of iglu, and I'm thrilled to launch the first version of our product!
iglu is the iOS app for micro-journaling with on-device intelligence. You can record your thoughts and moments into intricate threads and later revisit them with the help of AI — in the most private way possible!
We use on-device, non-generative AI to power:
Semantic search. If you're looking for something you wrote but don't remember the exact words, you can describe the general theme or topic of the entry you're looking for, and iglu will find it for you — it understands the meaning of what you write!
Intelligent recommendations. When you're not looking for anything specific or just want a feed to scroll through, check out the 'Explore' tab. You'll find recommendations of older entries that iglu thinks are related to what you've been writing recently. It's a fun and easy way to remember and revisit your life!
iglu protects and respects your privacy:
No accounts. That's right; you won't have to sign up or tell us your name or e-mail. We don't collect any data. We have no idea who's using iglu.
Everything runs on-device. We don't even have servers.
iCloud backup. Your data only lives on your phone and your personal iCloud account (as an encrypted backup).
Face ID locking. By default, iglu is locked behind Face ID.
We're excited to get feedback and opinions from the community — please share your thoughts with us!
Cheers,
Rafa

By the way, iglu is completely free right now. No catches.
We plan on monetizing it with a monthly subscription, but all of you who download it now will have lifetime free access! So don't leave it for later...

"Search by meaning" sounds magical—is it keyword-agnostic (e.g., finds "resilience" in entries about hiking)? If so, maybe layer in mood-tracking trends over time? Obsessed with the anti-cloud ethos here.

@desmond_ren1 yup, you got it! It doesn’t need exact keywords when searching, you can search something like “workout and food” to find “went to the gym before having dinner”.
It tries to understand the general meaning of what you write, it doesn’t care much about the actual words.
Awesome idea! What exactly do you have in mind? Something like getting insights about the general topics of your entries over time?
I’m glad you like it! Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it 🙏
