The Pilgrim's Journal

A record of your wandering through this cathedral — kept on your device, and nowhere else.

Pilgrims have long kept a record. The medieval traveller to Compostela or Rome brought home badges from the shrines reached, and some wrote down the days on the road; the monk kept his examen, a nightly reckoning of where the day had led him. The point was never to boast of miles but to notice — to let the journey become visible to the one making it, so that grace already received might be recognised and given thanks.

This page is that book for your time in the cathedral. It remembers the wonders you have stood before, the votives you have lit, the windows you have kept, and the days you have returned. It is written by your own browser, in your own machine, and it is read by no one but you.

This journal lives in your browser's storage on this device. It is never sent anywhere and is bound to no account. Clear your browser data, or press Begin again, and it is wholly gone.

Questions

Asked and answered.

Where is this journal kept?

In your own browser's storage, on this device only. It is never uploaded, never sent to us, and never shared. We could not read it if we wanted to.

Will my journal follow me to another device?

No. Because it lives only on this device, a different phone or computer — or a different browser — begins its own blank journal. This is by design: the record is yours alone, tied to no account.

How do I erase it?

Press “Begin again” below, which clears every record at once, or simply clear this site's data in your browser settings. Either way it is gone completely, with nothing left behind on any server.
