What it is
Lugelo is a journaling and storytelling app for capturing, preserving, and sharing meaningful moments. Journal Moments can combine text, photos, videos, and audio in a chronological Memory Lane. Family members, friends, couples, travelers, and groups can contribute to shared journals. The AI Journal Assistant provides prompts and can expand ideas into journal content. Lugelo can turn journal material into explorable 3D galleries, with 2D previews available on any device, and export journals as eBooks or PDFs for printing or sharing. Mobile apps support offline capture and synchronize Moments when a device reconnects. Lugelo runs on Android, iOS, Linux, web, and browser extension. The Lugelo Free plan costs nothing, billed forever, and includes unlimited journals, Moments, and contributors, shared journals, AI assistance, VR storybooks, exports, cloud sync, offline use, biometric lock, GDPR export, and browser extensions. Product pages describe end-to-end encryption, while the download FAQ says synced data is encrypted in transit. The privacy policy says private content is not used to train public AI models unless explicitly stated and consented to.
