When Journo helps
Use Journo when you need to get something out of your head.
Maybe you are replaying a conversation, sorting through a decision, carrying too many thoughts at once, or trying not to lose an idea.
You do not need a prompt or a polished first sentence. Open Journo and start with what is on your mind.
Get something off your mind Understand what you are feeling Keep an idea or moment
What happens after you open Journo
You talk. Journo turns it into an entry.
No blank page, no questions to answer, and no need to make the thought sound finished.
- 01
Press record and start talking.
Pause, ramble or change direction. Speak for twenty seconds or twenty minutes.
- 02
Your recording is saved first.
Journo keeps a playable audio file on your phone before processing begins.
- 03
Journo creates the entry.
Read the exact transcript or a cleaned version with the filler and repetition removed.
- 04
Keep, edit or continue it.
Replay the audio, change the text, add tags, search it later or record more.
What you receive
A readable journal entry in your own words.
Switch between the exact transcript and a cleaned version. Journo adds punctuation and structure. It does not add advice, an interpretation or a conclusion you did not make.
As you said it · 00:22
“so I keep thinking about the weekend, I want to actually do something and not just lose it to errands, maybe I should call Rhea and see if she wants to go for a walk”
Cleaned up
“I keep thinking about the weekend. I want to do something with it instead of losing it to errands. I should call Rhea and see if she wants to go for a walk.”
Your recording comes first
If processing fails, your recording is still there.
Some thoughts are hard to say twice. Journo saves the audio on your phone first, keeps it playable, uploads in the background and retries interrupted processing.

Built for private thoughts
No public profile. No feed. No journal content sold for advertising.
Your audio stays with you
The recording is kept on your device and may sync through your private iCloud. A temporary processing copy is sent to create the entry.
Lock or delete your journal
Use Face ID, remove entries from the app and iCloud, or request deletion of retained backend text through Support.
Why Journo exists
No one should have to carry everything alone.
People carry conversations, worries, ideas, decisions and feelings alone because writing can feel slow and talking to someone is not always possible.
We built Journo to give those thoughts somewhere private to go. Say what is on your mind, see it clearly, and return to your life with less noise in your head.
Our goal is to help people spend less time trapped in mental noise and more time present for their lives. Technology should help you hear yourself, not tell you what to think. That is why Journo does not coach, diagnose or force a positive ending.

Questions
What does Journo do after I record?
Journo keeps the original recording and creates two ways to read it: an as-spoken transcript and a cleaned-up journal entry. You can replay, edit, tag, search or continue the entry later.
Does Journo give advice or analyse me?
No. Journo is designed to preserve and clarify what you said, not diagnose, coach or tell you how to feel.
What happens if my connection drops?
Your recording is saved locally before upload. Interrupted processing can retry when the connection returns, and the source audio stays available.
What stays free?
You can record entries of any length and replay your audio without Premium. Your first completed entry is fully readable. Later long entries include a free transcript preview; Premium unlocks the complete transcript.
Can I delete my recordings?
Yes. Deleting an entry removes its local audio and journal content. Processing audio is removed after processing, with a seven-day cleanup safeguard. For deletion of retained processed text from the current App Store build, use the privacy request on the Support page.
