Hi there!
I'm Alberto Gallego, and I build Cozy on my own.
I've kept a journal since 2019. I built Cozy because I wanted a private place to write, not another app quietly collecting what I put into it. Everything you write stays on your own device, as plain files in a folder you choose. There's no server, no account, and no AI reading over your shoulder. That's the whole point.
Cozy is a one-time $35 purchase with no subscription, and one license covers every Mac and Windows computer you own, plus Cozy for iPhone and iPad, which is its own app rather than a shrunken desktop one. Every license includes a year of updates; after that Cozy keeps working forever, and another year is an optional $17. Android comes after.
The company
Cozy is made by Cantimplora Studio LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company with registered address at 30 N Gould St, Suite R, Sheridan, Wyoming 82801, USA. It's the company name on the invoice; behind it, it's still just me. You can see what else I'm working on at albertogalca.com.
Getting in touch
Email dear@cozyjournal.app and you'll get me, not a support desk. Bug reports, feature ideas, and "this thing annoys me" messages are all welcome.
If you study or teach, verify your school email and the code comes straight back to it. And if $35 is steep where you live, email me, say which country you're in and I'll send the right code.
I also write about what I'm building and the choices behind it on the blog.
