Private AI journaling app for iPhone

A SwiftUI journaling app that turns voice or text entries into weekly reflections, with the AI running on the device so entries stay private.

Problem

People wanted help reflecting on their journal, but were not comfortable sending personal entries to a cloud AI service.

Objective

Offer useful summaries and prompts while keeping every entry on the user's own devices.

Solution

  1. 01

    Entries can be typed or dictated; speech is transcribed on the device.

  2. 02

    Weekly reflections and prompts are generated with Apple's on-device foundation model, so no entry leaves the phone.

  3. 03

    SwiftData stores entries locally, and CloudKit syncs them privately between the user's own devices.

  4. 04

    Face ID lock and a home screen widget with the day's prompt.
