Jern

Jern is a tool for managing a secure, personal journal on a flash drive.

Jern encrypts entries using AES-128 encryption with a random initialization vector (IV) and a key which is the filename of a .k file. To open an encrypted journal entry, you need Jern and the corresponding key file.

The .k filename serves as your encryption key, so it's important not to use a password that you use elsewhere. Once you finish writing your journal entry, it's recommended to delete/move/rename the key file.

If you want to understand how Jern works under the hood, you can find the code in the GitHub repository here: https://github.com/HoofedEar/Jern

To use Jern, you should create a folder where Jern will be stored. A subfolder called "entries" will be created when first ran, which is where all your journal entries will be saved as .se files. You can also open specific entries: "./Jern entries/some-entry.se"
