> Vent Without Judgment.

> Includes a private, local AI Journal.

The point of journaling is the reflection, not the written output. An AI journal would be like exercising by having a robot lift weights for you—it doesn’t make sense and destroys the point.

You are right. This was a mistake in the website. I changed it to "Includes a private, local AI chat." It is for venting...

"Includes a private, local AI Journal."

What is this journal and why does it need AI? Could not find an answer on the page.

It is on-device chat powered by gemma-3-1b-it

It is best to use for venting your unfiltered thoughts (as no one really has to see those :D) - it is not very powerful for productive use i think. But it can sometimes recommend breathing exercises which work surprisingly well!
