Does Memoir upload my diary to this public website?
No. The public information site is separate from the diary application and does not receive entries, titles, photos, encryption material, recovery keys, or Google OAuth tokens.
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about Memoir
Short answers first, with links to the pages that explain each privacy, security, storage, and availability boundary in full.
Can I write without connecting a cloud account?
Yes. Core writing and browsing use Memoir's local SQLite database. Sync, maps, weather, and other network-backed actions still need a connection when you choose them.
Is all Memoir data encrypted on my device?
No. Supported cloud-sync payloads are encrypted before upload, but the local SQLite database is not SQLCipher-encrypted. Device security and Memoir's app-lock controls are separate protections.
Where does Google Drive sync store my data?
Supported encrypted payloads are stored in the Google Drive account you authorize. Google controls Drive availability, quota, account access, and its own data handling.
Can Memoir recover my password or recovery key?
No. Memoir does not run a recovery service that can recreate both lost protection inputs. Keep recovery material somewhere durable and separate.
Does voice journaling work on every platform?
No. Verified local dictation is currently limited to supported iOS devices. Web, Android, and devices without verified local transcription retain manual writing instead.
Which diary formats can I import?
Memoir implements preview and import paths for Memoir JSON, encrypted Memoir archives, Diaro backups, and Day One JSON. Fidelity depends on the source format, so retain the original backup and inspect the result.
Can I connect Dropbox or OneDrive?
Not as launched providers. Google Drive is the active cloud option. Dropbox and OneDrive remain disabled even though provider foundations may exist in source.
