Meet Joey and Lucy

Hello! My name is Joey and I am the founder of Bonjournl. I am a husband, father, and a software developer with 10+ years of professional experience, and have a passion for building tools which genuinely improve the lives of others.

I became a first time father right as lock downs were happening across the world. It was a difficult time to adjust to so many life changes at once. Since that time I decided that I wanted to help new dads be the dads that they want to be.

Recently I've begun to dive deep into spiritual learning, therapy, inner child healing, and general mindfulness. Part of that process has involved a lot of writing and journaling and reflection. The problem I ran into was that I was writing in a lot of different places.

That's where Bonjournl comes in; I initially wanted a place where I could share learned wisdom with Lucy as she gets older. With the new journals feature, you can organize your writing by topic using tags — keep a gratitude journal, a dream journal, and a daily reflection all in one place.

What makes Bonjournl different:

  • Lightweight and simple to use.
  • Your data is end-to-end encrypted.
  • No ads, ever. Your data is never sold.
  • Organize entries with tags to create multiple journals.
  • Supports markdown for formatting.
  • Share publicly or keep it completely private.
  • Daily writing prompts for inspiration.
  • Easy sharing of individual entries via link.

I hope you enjoy the site. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to reach out at joey@codecompass.org.
