Sotto: Private AI Journal

Self-Care Diary, On-Device

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

The AI journal that never reads your journal. Reflections, weekly letters, answers from your own entries - all on your iPhone or iPad, never a server. Nothing leaves it. Most AI journals send your most private sentences to someone else's server. Sotto never does. Every reflection, every letter, every answer is written on your iPhone or iPad by Apple's on-device intelligence - in airplane mode, if you like. There is no account because there is nothing to sign into. There is no server because there is nothing to send. WRITE, OR JUST SAY IT • Capture a thought in seconds - type it, or tell Siri: "Journal in Sotto." • Entries live in a quiet, paper-calm timeline built for rereading. • Search your whole journal, or ask Siri to find an entry for you. SOTTO READS BETWEEN THE LINES (WITHOUT READING THEM TO ANYONE) • After you write, a short reflection notices what mattered in the entry - factual, grounded in your own words, never syrupy. • Each week, Sotto writes you a letter: what the week held, what kept returning, what quietly changed. • Monthly retrospectives step back further - your July, in one page. • Mood Insights charts the shape of your moods over time. • Ask your journal a question - "when did I last see the maples?" - and get an answer drawn from your own entries, with the entries to show for it. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE, NOT BY PROMISE • All AI runs on-device with Apple Intelligence. Your words never leave your phone. • App Privacy label: Data Not Collected. No analytics, no tracking, no ads. • Lock the journal behind Face ID. Export everything, anytime, in plain Markdown - your journal is yours. FREE AND PLUS Capturing entries, per-entry reflections, search, Siri, and streaks are free, forever. Sotto Plus adds the longitudinal layer: weekly letters, monthly retrospectives, Mood Insights, and Ask - $4.99/month or $29.99/year with a 7-day free trial. Your first weekly letter is free to read. Sotto is a journal, not a counselor - a private place to hear yourself think. Sotto voce: under the voice, softly.

Sotto comes to iPad. Your journal and letters open beside their list on a wide screen, and every page keeps a book's measure. Nothing else changes: still no account, no server, nothing leaves your device.
