Your journal

Everything you’ve said, easy to find again

A journal is only worth keeping if you can get back into it. Every entry sits on a timeline with its mood and its recording — browsable by month, searchable to the sentence, and yours to correct at any point.

In the app

A timeline you can actually browse

Mood colour does most of the navigating — you tend to remember how a week felt before you remember when it was.

  • The Journal tab in the app, showing filter chips and a week strip for July 2026 with days tinted by mood, above entries titled “A small win at work…”, “Morning pages before the da…” and “Back at the gym, gentle…”, each with a date, time and tags such as “courage”, “work” and “morning”.

    Everything you’ve said

    Each entry with its date, its length, its tags, and a mood colour. Spoken and written ones sit side by side.

  • The journal calendar expanded from a week strip to a full month grid for July 2026, with individual days tinted by the mood of that day’s entries.

    A month at a glance

    Tap the week strip and it opens to the month. Tap any day to jump straight there.

  • An entry titled “A small win at work landed harder than expected”, showing its date and length, a waveform with playback controls and a speed setting, an Edit button, and the transcript beneath — the companion’s questions in violet and the spoken replies in black.

    Inside an entry

    The recording with a scrubbable waveform, and the whole exchange underneath — your words, and the few questions that shaped them.

Finding your way back

Six ways into what you already said

Nothing here needs maintaining. The filing happens as a side effect of talking.

  • The calendar

    A week strip by default, a full month when you tap it — each day tinted by how it felt, so a rough patch is visible before you read a word.

  • Search

    Stays out of the way until you reach for it. Then it looks through everything you’ve ever said.

  • Tags that write themselves

    Entries pick up their own tags from what you talked about. Edit them, add your own, or ignore them entirely.

  • Hear it again

    Every spoken entry keeps its recording, so you can listen back to the moment instead of only reading it.

  • Lenses

    Ask for a second look at one entry — what might be underneath it, a kinder reading of it, or one small thing worth trying. Only ever on request.

  • Echoes

    Mark the lines worth keeping. They come back to you later, anchored to the moment in the recording where you said them.

The shape of it

A journal that doesn’t keep score

What’s missing matters as much as what’s here.

  • No gaps to explain

    Miss a week and the journal simply has a quiet week in it. Nothing turns red, nothing resets, nothing asks where you were.

  • A record, not a draft

    You can fix the text and change the mood, but what you said out loud stays as you said it. That’s the point of keeping it.

  • Sensitive entries stay put

    Mark an entry sensitive and nothing from it will be surfaced back to you — no echo, no letter, no mention in a session.

Where it lives

Years of your life, on one device

A journal accumulates into something far more revealing than any single entry. It’s treated that way.

  • It lives on your iPhone

    Entries, audio and tags are all stored on your device, in storage the system keeps encrypted while your phone is locked.

  • No account to tie it to

    There’s no sign-up and no email, so there is no identity attached to any of it — and no server-side copy to leak.

  • Delete means delete

    Remove an entry and its recording, its tags and its echoes go with it. Nothing is kept behind as a shadow copy.

FAQ

Questions about your journal

Can I find an old entry?

Yes. The calendar opens to a month at a glance, the filters narrow by mood or kind, and search reveals from the filter row when you need it.

Can I edit an entry after the fact?

You can edit the text, adjust the mood, and add or change tags. What you said out loud stays as it was recorded — the entry is a record, not a draft.

Does anything get written into my entry that I didn’t say?

No. The title and tags are suggestions you can change, and a lens reply is filed separately from what you wrote. Your own words are never rewritten or replaced.

Is my audio kept?

Your recordings stay on your iPhone in secure on-device storage, so you can play back a moment in your own voice. Delete an entry and its audio goes with it.
