Nice app! I have an app in roughly the same vein (both introspection apps) which I’m also releasing. Would love to know your thoughts! https://audiodiary.ai

What framework did you use for this?

I like it! Clean landing page.

I'm also a big fan of practicing gratitude daily. It's great for stress relief and overall well being. I think the audio prompts are an easy way to get people started.

My main feedback would be to get clear on the end result. Is it capturing life's moments or achieving goals?

I'd also consider have a middle section with "How it Works" so people can visualize what they'll be doing. Like a 3 step process.

For the framework, the iPhone app is written in objective-c with a bunch of open source controls from cocoacontrols.com

Thanks for looking!

Really good point as goals have become more important... I consider goals to be future, capturing memories/entries as the past. But also the process of talking to it is therapeutic and I consider that the present.

I want to capture this in its mission statement, so thanks for the feedback. Best of luck with your app.

This is really fantastic! Ofcourse the techy in me wishes for a one time payment to selfhost the data but know it's the openai bits that are expensive :)

I would love a way for this to be fed into my Obsidian daily journal. You're actually inspiring me to see if something similar is available for obsidian.

One small feedback, if I'm on the add an entry page and I swipe back it closes the app.

Also please don't hide the iOS button from me when I'm on Android :) I had to double check from desktop if iOS was available before sending to a friend.

That’s a great idea. Glad you like it! You can actually export your diary on the profile page and it will give you a tree of mp3 and txt entries along with a nice pdf. Hopefully this will be enough for you to work with obsidian.

I keep getting the error "Something went wrong. Please make sure your internet is working and try again" for the past two days.

Any ideas how to fix this?
