Why is it called Waffle?

We wanted a name that symbolized bonding, warmth, and happy gatherings. We considered names like 'fireplace,' 'dining table,' and 'fam,' but none of them really clicked. While we were struggling to come up with a name, Taishi, one of the co-founders of Waffle, saw a joyful crowd of families and friends having fun while he was taking a walk in the park in San Jose, California. As he walked closer, he noticed a small waffle stand.

That was the perfect embodiment of the experience we wanted to create, so we named our app Waffle.

We also offer additional features that you can choose to pay for. These are designed to dramatically enhance the shared journaling experience and are always recommended, but they are optional.

Do you sell our personal data?

No, we never sell your personal data.

Free services are typically free because they sell your data to other companies. We don't do that because journals are meant to be safe and private. We don't ask free users for money or sell their data to fund our app.

Instead, our paid subscribers help cover the costs, allowing us to support our free users too.

This approach allows us to maintain important features like shared journaling, unlimited journals, members, and entries for everyone at no cost, without monetizing free users' data.

We believe it's important for everyone to have access to a tool like Waffle.
