The journal you talk to that becomes your living story.

The problem
Writing is the barrier to journaling, so people quit. And memories don't arrive in order; a story told today might have happened in the 1970s. Most tools can't tell the difference.
The approach
Talk-first capture: you speak, it transcribes, then an AI splits the telling into discrete stories and infers when each one happened, keeping both your verbatim voice and a clean, readable version.
AI architecture
Claude runs structured-output extraction over each transcript: it segments a session into Story units and infers each story's date independently (told-date vs. happened-date). When a date is ambiguous, it asks a clarifying question. Deepgram handles speech-to-text.
Highlights
- ▹Told-date vs. happened-date temporal model
- ▹Asks a clarifying question when a date is ambiguous
- ▹Keeps both the verbatim transcript and the cleaned story
- ▹Built for lifelong accumulation
- ▹Sample mode with no API key, so anyone can try it
