Looking for a journaling app?

Most people who reach for one want the same thing: somewhere to think, not another habit to keep up. Stoah is that. Write when you have something to say, tap any entry to talk it through, and let the patterns surface on their own. No streaks, no blank-page guilt.

Want a better note-taking app?

Notes apps store. Stoah thinks with you. Drop a quick note, a long thought, a half-formed idea, then tap it and Stoah helps you take it further. The same place you would keep a note, except it talks back when you want it to.

Need a to-do app that leaves you alone?

Write a to-do like any other line and cross it off with a tap. Stoah will not gamify it or guilt you about it. Your list just sits on the same page as the rest of your thinking.

Want a private notes app you can trust?

Mark anything private and it is encrypted on your device with a key only you hold. Even we cannot read it. The rest syncs as plain text so reading across devices and asking Stoah stay simple.

Terms

Terms of use

Last updated May 2026

These are the terms between you and Stoah (“we,” “us”). By using the app, you agree to them.

In short

Stoah is in beta. Things may change, break, or move.
Your entries are yours. We don’t claim rights to your writing.
Use the app for personal reflection, not to harm others or break the law.
You can delete your account at any time. We can suspend or close accounts that abuse the service.
The app is provided as is. We do our best, but no warranties.

Your account

You sign in with Apple or Google. You’re responsible for the security of that sign-in. If someone else gets into your sign-in provider, they can get into Stoah. Use a strong device passcode and turn on two-factor authentication on your sign-in provider.

You must be at least 13 to use Stoah (16 in the EU). If you’re under that age, please don’t use the app.

Your content

Everything you write in Stoah belongs to you. We don’t use your entries to train AI models, sell to advertisers, or share with anyone outside the third parties listed in our privacy policy.

We need a limited license to your content so the app can work: store it on our servers, sync it between your devices, and (when you trigger AI features) send the relevant parts to Google’s Gemini API. This license ends when you delete the content or your account.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Use Stoah to break the law, harass others, or plan harm.
Try to reverse-engineer, decompile, or attack the service.
Use the API or AI features in ways that violate Google’s Gemini terms or burden the service for other users.
Impersonate another person, or create an account on someone else’s behalf without their consent.

If we believe an account is being used to harm others or the service, we may suspend or close it. We’ll tell you why when we can.

AI features

Stoah uses Google’s Gemini model to generate recaps, theme summaries, and conversational responses on your entries. AI output can be wrong, biased, or surprising. Treat it as a thinking partner, not as truth. Don’t rely on it for medical, legal, financial, or safety decisions.

Beta software

Stoah is in active development. Features may change without notice. Things may break. We take backups and design for resilience, but accept that the app may occasionally lose data, be unavailable, or surface bugs. Use the app accordingly.

No warranty

The app is provided “as is.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we make no warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We don’t promise the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any specific feature will keep working.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising from your use of Stoah is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you’ve paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) zero, because Stoah is currently free during beta. We aren’t liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages.

Some jurisdictions don’t allow these limitations. If yours is one, the limit applies to the extent the law allows.

Ending your use

You can delete your account from inside the app: Settings → Account → Delete account. Deletion is irreversible.

We may close accounts that violate these terms, threaten the service, or sit dormant for an unreasonably long time. Where we can, we’ll let you know first and give you a chance to export or save anything you want.

Changes

If we change these terms in a material way, we’ll show you a notice in the app and update the date above. Continuing to use Stoah after a change means you accept the new terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute that can’t be resolved by talking goes to the courts of England and Wales. If you’re a consumer in another jurisdiction, you keep any mandatory consumer rights you have there.
