What it does

  • On-device AI reflection

    Qwen3 1.7B runs locally for sentiment detection and reflections. It never judges, diagnoses or prescribes.

  • Mirror, not therapist

    The AI asks curious questions and notices patterns. It never tells you what to do.

  • Sentiment timeline

    Entries are categorised by mood with a timeline chart of patterns over time. Moods show as atmospheric tints, not labels.

  • Visual calendar

    A calendar with coloured dots showing your emotional journey. Multiple entries blend smoothly. Tap any day to revisit your entries.

  • Word cloud insights

    See your most-used words, shuffled daily. Drag the time slider and watch patterns emerge.

  • Gentle reminders

    Optional daily notifications invite you to reflect. Never pushy, never guilt-inducing.

  • Adaptive prompts

    Context-aware prompts that adapt to your recent entries and patterns.

  • Streak tracking

    Build a habit with streaks. No guilt for missed days, just gentle encouragement.

  • Multi-format export

    Export all entries and reflections as PDF, Markdown or JSON.

  • Crisis safety

    If concerning content is detected, the app offers support resources instead of analysing.

  • Voice journaling

    Tap the mic to speak your entry. It is transcribed on-device with Apple Speech.

  • On this day

    Surfaces past entries from the same day in previous weeks, so you can see how you have changed.

A mirror, not a therapist

The AI is designed to reflect what it observes, never to diagnose or prescribe.

The AI does
  • Notice patterns in your writing
  • Ask curious, open-ended questions
  • Reflect observations back to you
  • Note changes over time
The AI never
  • Diagnoses ("You seem depressed")
  • Prescribes ("You should see a therapist")
  • Judges ("That's negative thinking")
  • Gives advice ("Try meditation")
Example reflection
"You've mentioned feeling tired in 4 of your last 7 entries. What do you think is behind that?"

Privacy

The AI model runs entirely on your device. Your journal entries never leave your iPhone. No servers, no cloud.

Face ID, Touch ID or a PIN is required by default, so your private thoughts stay private.

All data is stored locally with SwiftData. Delete the app and everything is gone.

Requirements

  • iOS 17.0 or later
  • iPhone (portrait only)
  • About 2 GB of storage for the AI model
  • Wi-Fi or mobile data for the initial model download

How it works

  1. Write daily

    Open the app and write about your day. 50 to 500 words is enough to be meaningful without being overwhelming.

  2. Receive reflections

    After 3 entries, the AI begins reflecting patterns back. Curious observations, not judgements.

  3. Discover patterns

    Over time, the calendar and word cloud reveal what matters to you.
