Bunari is a calm place for notes, plans and the days worth remembering. Entries stay on your phone first, sync when you are online, and the Private journal opens only with your PIN.
We store your journal so it can sync between your devices. We never sell it and never show ads.
Private journal entries are locked on your iPhone. We cannot read them.
AI features use only your regular journal, never Private entries, and only after you allow them.
You can export everything or delete your account from inside the app at any time.
What we collect
Account: your email address, or your Apple ID sign-in, and the name and profile photo you choose.
Journal: your entries, folders, To-Dos, trips, photos and prompts.
Location: only when you add a place to an entry, and only with your permission.
Private journal: stored only in encrypted form. Only your PIN or recovery key can open it. We can see only how many Private entries and photos you have, and when they were created, changed and deleted.
Settings: your time zone, reminder time, theme and Face ID setting, and how many AI requests you made today, for the daily limit.
You need an account, with an email address or your Apple ID, to use Bunari, because your journal is saved and synced to it. Everything else is up to you.
We do not use analytics or tracking tools, and we do not collect your contacts or advertising ID. This website does not use cookies or trackers either.
AI features
Bunari has three AI features. They are written by OpenAI, through our server.
The daily prompt sends only today's date, never your journal.
Suggest a mood sends the title and text of the entry you are writing.
Weekly Insight sends the date, title, mood and text of your regular entries from that week.
We ask your permission before the first mood suggestion or Weekly Insight, and you can turn these features off at any time in the app's settings. Private entries are never sent. OpenAI does not use this data to train its models. It keeps it for up to 30 days to check for abuse, then deletes it. The prompts, mood suggestions and weekly summaries it writes are saved with your account so you can read them again. AI is never used to make decisions about you.
Services we use
These providers run parts of Bunari. Each one handles your data only on our instructions and under a data processing agreement.
Supabase: your account, journal, photos and sign-in emails.
Railway: our server, which handles AI requests and account deletion.
OpenAI: the AI features above.
Cloudflare: hosts this website.
Apple: Sign in with Apple, and turning a location into a place name when you add a place to an entry.
Where your data is kept
Your account, journal and photos are stored by Supabase in [Supabase region], and our server runs in [Railway region]. OpenAI handles AI requests in the United States.
Bunari is run from Kosovo, which the European Commission has not found to give the same protection as the EU. When your data goes to Kosovo, the United States or another country outside the EU, we rely on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, depending on the provider. Email us for a copy of these safeguards.
Why we use your data, and on what basis
To provide the journal you signed up for (contract): your account and sign-in, saving and syncing your entries, photos, folders, To-Dos and trips, export and account deletion.
With your permission (consent): the AI features, photos, camera, location, Face ID and reminders. You can take back any permission at any time in Bunari's settings or your iPhone's Settings. This doesn't affect what was done before.
To keep Bunari safe (legitimate interests): limiting how many requests and sign-in attempts can be made, and keeping short technical logs, so the service can't be abused. You can object by emailing us.
Sensitive information: your journal may include things like your health, beliefs or relationships. We don't ask for this. When you write it, we store it only to provide your journal and, with your permission, for the AI features you choose. We never use it for anything else.
How long we keep it
We keep your account and journal until you delete them. A deleted entry stays in Recently Deleted for 30 days, then it is removed. When you delete your profile, it is removed from our servers straight away, and from backups within [backup period]. Our providers keep short technical logs, such as the time of a request and the address it came from, for up to [log period] to keep the service secure. What OpenAI receives is deleted within 30 days.
Your rights
Wherever you live, you can:
see the data we have about you, and get a copy of it, also in a machine-readable format;
correct it, or delete it;
object to how we use it, or ask us to limit it;
take back a permission you gave.
Most of this you can do in the app with Export readable journal and Delete Profile. For anything else, such as a machine-readable copy, email [support email] and we will answer within 30 days. You can also complain to the data protection authority where you live, or to Kosovo's Information and Privacy Agency. We do not sell or share your personal information.
Reminders and notifications
Reminders are scheduled on your phone. A notification never shows the text of a Private entry.
Export and delete
When you delete an entry, it moves to Recently Deleted for 30 days, where you can restore it. After that, it and its photos are deleted for good.
Export readable journal creates a file of your journal that you can save or share. Private entries are left out. Delete Profile, in the app's settings, permanently removes your account, entries and photos from our servers.
Children
Bunari is not meant for anyone under 16. If you believe someone under 16 has created an account, email us and we will delete it.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, we will update the date above, and tell you in the app about important changes. Questions: [support email].

Common questions
I forgot my Private journal PIN
On the locked Private screen, tap Use recovery key and enter the recovery key you saved when you set it up. Without the PIN or the recovery key, Private entries cannot be opened, not even by us.
Do my entries sync between devices?
Yes. Sign in with the same account and your journal syncs. Entries you write offline are saved on the phone and sync when you are back online.
I deleted an entry by mistake
Open Journals and tap Recently Deleted at the bottom. Deleted entries stay there for 30 days: tap one and choose Restore. Deleted Private entries show there once you unlock Private.
How do I export my journal?
Open Settings and tap Export readable journal. Bunari creates a file you can save to Files or share. Private entries are not included.
How do I delete my account?
Open Settings and tap Delete Profile. This permanently removes your account, entries and photos from our servers, including anything in Recently Deleted.
Does AI read my journal?
Only when you use an AI feature, and only the regular entries that feature needs. Private entries are never sent.
Terms of use
The simple rules
Last updated [date]
Who can use Bunari
You need to be at least 16 to use Bunari. If you got Bunari from the App Store, Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement covers your licence to use the app, and these terms add the rules for your Bunari account and service. Apple is not responsible for Bunari, its content or its support.
Your content
What you write in Bunari belongs to you. We only store and process it so the app can work: to save, sync, and run the features you choose to use.
Your Private journal and recovery key
Keep your recovery key somewhere safe. If you lose both your PIN and your recovery key, your Private entries cannot be opened by anyone, including us.
AI suggestions
Prompts, mood suggestions and weekly summaries are written by AI, and mood suggestions and weekly summaries only after you allow AI features. They can be wrong or miss the point, and they are not medical, legal or professional advice. The privacy policy explains what is sent.
Using Bunari fairly
Don't use the app to break the law or to harm others.
Don't try to break into other people's accounts or overload our servers.
Keep your sign-in details to yourself.
The app as it is
We work hard to keep Bunari reliable and your data safe, but we can't promise it will always be available or free of errors. Keep an export of anything you can't afford to lose.
Limits on our responsibility
We are fully responsible for damage we cause on purpose or through gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and wherever the law makes us responsible regardless of fault. For slight negligence, we are responsible only if we break an obligation that is essential for Bunari to work, and then only for typical damage we could have foreseen. Apart from this, we are not responsible for damage caused by slight negligence. Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under the consumer law of the country you live in.
Which law applies
These terms follow the law of Kosovo. If you live somewhere else, you keep the protections your own country's law gives you, and you can also bring a claim in the courts where you live.
Ending your account
You can delete your account at any time with Delete Profile in the app's settings. We may close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms. Except for serious abuse, we will tell you first by email and give you at least 30 days to export your journal.
Changes and contact
If these terms change, we will update the date above. We will tell you in the app at least 30 days before an important change takes effect; if you don't agree, you can delete your account before then. Questions: [support email].
Who we are
These terms are between you and [your full name], who makes Bunari. The postal address is in the Legal notice.
