Toby discovered the windowsill. Spent two hours watching a single sparrow with the focus of a war strategist.

Stepped on a sunbeam on the kitchen floor and just… stayed. I made coffee around him.
Found a whisker on the rug today. Tiny ivory crescent. Taped it inside the back of a notebook.
First vet visit. He hated the carrier, loved the receptionist. Six pounds, four ounces. The vet said he has the heart of a much older cat.
Couldn't sleep. Toby climbed onto my chest and put one paw on my throat, very gently. Stayed there until I drifted off.
Knocked the salt shaker off the table while making eye contact. We are entering a new era.
Loaf on the couch. Refused to acknowledge my existence for four hours. Loved him anyway.
Sick night. Toby threw up twice and slept under the bed. I sat on the floor next to him with a flashlight for an hour.
Made the kekekek sound at the birds for the first time. I didn't know he could do that. He sounded ancient.
Brought him home. Eight weeks old, all eyes. Hid behind the radiator for two hours, then came out and walked into my lap.

Simba retreated to the nightstand the second the vacuum started. The vacuum is loud. Sorry Simba, I have to vacuum!

I love how Max lazes like this. Like nothing in the world matters. He must feel like the king of the world…

Made by Cat parents, for Cat parents.
The Void Log is inspired by Julia, a beloved black cat who has been arranging her keepers’ lives since 2017. She is timid with strangers and devoted only to the people who feed her. She watches birds with the focus of a scholar and tolerates everyone else with quiet disdain. This app is not only for her, but for every cat whose life deserves to be chronicled.
Follow for more of Julia’s Chronicle and the story behind The Void Log.

Frequently pondered.
Yes. Daily stories with photos, care tracking and reminders, and the Chronicle are free forever, for up to five cats. PRO is optional and adds up to 20 seconds of video to each daily story.
Black cats are lovingly known as “voids” because of the way they disappear into the shadows. The Void Log was made in homage to them. Shelters keep them longer, photos struggle to catch them, and the world has spent centuries calling them unlucky. All cats are welcome here. You'll just have to make peace with the “Void”-tinted aesthetic.
All your data is securely stored on encrypted infrastructure. Photos and videos are screened for safety before they’re stored. Location metadata is stripped from photos on upload. No human reads your stories. We do not sell your data. For more details, please see our Privacy Policy and Terms.
AI shows up in one place as The Spirit. If you leave your story’s note blank, The Spirit will write one for you with AI using the day’s photo as its source. You may opt out of this feature at any time in settings. Your data is never used to train AI.

No. Your stories are yours. We don't edit your notes, remove your photos or videos, or change anything you've written. What you inscribe stays exactly as is.
The Void Log is built by a husband-and-wife duo and the parents of a black cat named Julia. The app is operated by their private software consulting studio in Massachusetts, USA.
No. The founders each bring over a decade of experience from the tech industry. The design, the product decisions, the system architecture, and every line of code that handles your data is reviewed, tested, and shipped deliberately. Nothing in this app exists by accident.
Yes, absolutely. All your data will be removed from our systems. Deletion is permanent; there's no recovery, no archive, no shadow copy. If you only want to stop paying for PRO, cancel it in your Apple ID settings instead. Your stories and everything free stay exactly as they are.
