## What is it?

VoiceJournal is a private voice-first journaling app for iPhone and iPad. A user speaks a reflection. On-device speech recognition transcribes the audio. On-device sentiment analysis adds a mood label, sentiment score, and topics. The result is an editable, searchable journal entry stored locally on the device.

It is a reflection tool. It is not a medical device, therapist, diagnosis, or treatment.

## Who is it for?

- People who want to journal but find typing too much friction
- People who want a private mood diary without uploading journal content to cloud AI
- People who want a daily check-in, streak, or On This Day memory habit
- iPhone and iPad users on iOS 17.2 or later who prefer voice, Siri, or Shortcuts over a blank text box

## What problem does it solve?

Most journaling apps require typing, so people quit. Voice memos capture speech but do not become a searchable mood diary. Cloud AI journals may upload personal writing for analysis. VoiceJournal lets the user talk, then keeps transcription, mood reflection, and history on the device.

## What it is not

- Not a cloud AI chatbot or therapy session
- Not a diagnosis or mental-health treatment
- Not a social journal, public feed, or shared diary
- Not an export-first document app; the core job is private spoken reflection

## Platforms

- iPhone and iPad
- iOS 17.2 or later
- Siri and Shortcuts support for starting a voice entry and checking stats
- Home Screen streak widget

## How it works

1. Start recording in the app, or start a new voice entry with Siri or Shortcuts.
2. Speak. Live transcription uses Apple Speech with on-device recognition required.
3. Stop. The user can edit the transcript before saving.
4. VoiceJournal adds mood reflection, a sentiment score, and topics from the words.
5. The entry is stored locally. Later surfaces include search, bookmarks, On This Day, daily check-ins, a 3-day reflection challenge, streaks, and mood trends.
