Local encryption
Entries and attachments live in an AES-256 encrypted vault on your hard drive or device. Biometrics use the OS only — Face ID, fingerprint, Windows Hello.
JournaLock is a tamper-evident encrypted journal for inventors, attorneys, executives, and anyone who needs records that hold up when it matters. Your vault stays on your device — no account required.
How firms save money with JournaLock
Not a social diary. A sealed vault for invention notes, matter timelines, executive journals, and personal evidence you may need years later.
Entries and attachments live in an AES-256 encrypted vault on your hard drive or device. Biometrics use the OS only — Face ID, fingerprint, Windows Hello.
Cryptographic hash chaining on your device (our network — not Bitcoin) plus DigiCert RFC 3161 when online. That is the clock. We do not use a coin.
No JournaLock user accounts. Optional AWS S3 backup and Stripe payments use credentials or checkout you initiate — we do not host your journal content.
Professionals who cannot afford “the cloud lost my notes.”
Document conception, diligence, and lab notes with a chain that supports patent and investor timelines.
Matter-aware journaling and optional link-up workflows without surrendering client content to a SaaS silo.
Decision logs and CYA records you can export, seal, and keep under your own retention policy.
Personal journals that still feel like a product built for court — not for ads or engagement metrics.
Independent research note — not a sales guarantee. Case-by-case ranges for attorney hours and dollars when messy inventorship reconstruction is avoided, grounded in public billing data and AIPLA survey figures.
Typical operational mid-range: about 2–6 hours and roughly $800–$3,300 per matter that would otherwise require reconstruction — with larger expected-value upside if inventorship or priority fights are shortened or avoided. Ranges, not promises.
How firms save money with JournaLock
We do not operate a journal content backend for the free local experience. What you write stays yours.
There is no JournaLock login that holds your diary. Uninstall and exports are under your control.
Stripe Checkout, AWS S3, and AI providers run only when you enable them and supply what they need.
