How the free AI journal works
Three ways to begin
01
Write what is actually on your mind
Open a blank entry or choose a guided check-in. Manual writing stays available even after your monthly AI allowance runs out.
02
Let a question get you started
Use a guided text check-in when you do not know where to begin. There is no streak to protect and no perfect answer to give.
03
Read the moment back
An AI Read can bring several check-ins into one short narrative. You can inspect what supports it and decide whether it fits.
What an AI Read does
It reads your saved moments back to you
An AI Read reflects the check-ins you chose to save. It can bring several moments into one short narrative so you can see what contributed and decide whether the reflection fits.
The free plan includes three AI Reads each month. Pro adds deeper history and the full pattern layer. Conversational voice is a separate add-on after the one-time demo.
Private history, with honest limits
Your account keeps your check-ins together and gives you export and deletion controls. Daylogue does not sell journal entries or use them to train foundation models.
Daylogue’s servers read entry text when creating narratives and patterns, so Daylogue is not end-to-end encrypted. We say that plainly so you can decide what belongs here.
