Aloud: Voice Journal & Diary

Speak. It writes. Private AI.

Free · In‑App Purchases

You're walking the dog. You're on the train home. The lights are off and the day is still spinning in your head. That's when a journal matters most — and exactly when you're least likely to sit down and type one. Aloud is the journal you talk to. Open it, speak for two minutes, and you're done. Your words become clean, well-written entries — with a title and a mood — automatically. All of it free. JUST TALK. IT WRITES ITSELF. • Speak naturally — Aloud transcribes instantly with Apple's newest on-device speech engine (iOS 26) — remarkably accurate, even in noise • AI writes a title and senses the mood of every entry — tap the mood to change it • Choose your Writing Style — Faithful, Balanced, or Polished — or rewrite any entry in a tap • A weekly reflection gathers your themes, wins, and patterns into one gentle summary PRIVATE. ABSOLUTELY. Your journal never leaves your phone. No servers. No accounts. No analytics on your words. Transcription and AI run entirely on your device. If you turn on iCloud sync, entries live only in your own private, encrypted iCloud database — invisible to us, readable by no one but you. GO DEEPER, LOOK BACK • Talk it through — after an entry, tap one gentle question and keep talking; your answer folds into the same reflection • See it differently — re-read any entry through a Kinder, Growth, Perspective, or Reframe lens • Ask your journal — ask in plain words and get a private answer drawn only from your own entries • Year in Aloud — a colour-coded map of your moods across the year • Mood & movement — see how the days you move more line up with how you feel, read privately from Health on your device • Log your moods back to Apple Health as State of Mind — only if you turn it on • A gentle "what I'm noticing" surfaces the themes you keep returning to • Share a line — turn one sentence into a beautiful card, private until you choose to share it MADE FOR REAL LIFE • Streaks with a weekly grace day — miss a day without losing your momentum • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets start an entry in one tap • Works with Siri: just say "Think Aloud" • Speak about a moment — Apple's Journaling Suggestions turn a workout, a place, or a photo from your day into a prompt (chosen by you, seen only by you) • Pocket your phone — recording continues on your Lock Screen, and one tap stops and saves without unlocking • Built for ADHD minds — no blank page, no typing, no friction • Catch dreams before they fade: talk first, read later • Find entries from iPhone search — titles only, never your words, never while Face ID lock is on • AirPods record in studio quality (iOS 26) • Free up space anytime — delete audio; every written word stays A NOTE ON AI Apple Intelligence features — titles, moods, weekly reflections, Ask your journal, reflective lenses, and "what I'm noticing" — are sharpest on an iPhone 15 Pro or later. On other devices, Aloud still transcribes perfectly and uses simpler on-device analysis instead. FREE — ALL OF IT Aloud is free. Every feature, on every device you own. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no trial to remember to cancel, no adverts, no account to create. And if that ever changes, everything you have already written stays readable and exportable, always.

Aloud 2.6 — made for iPhone Duo. NEW • Closed, it's the Aloud you know, with its tabs along the side. • Open, your journal sits beside the entry you're reading. Go down the list and read one after another without losing your place. • Today opens into two: the microphone on one side, somewhere to start on the other. • Your places on the journal map, and your threads in Reflect, open beside the list too. • Open or close the phone mid-sentence and the recording carries on. As always: no account, no servers, and the reading happens on your device.
