Rosebud: AI Journal & Diary 4+

I have to admit that I came to this as a skeptic of its utility. I struggle with journaling, despite having tried all kinds of prompts, styles, apps etc. I have spent an average of an hour a day journaling consistently since I got this app about a month ago. It has a morning and evening reflection, journal prompts related to current life events, and options to answer follow up questions related to the content for each entry. The fun part is each entry gets immediate feedback in the form of validation, restatement and analysis. The analysis is frequently surprisingly insightful. The entries are saved in a history section with a little digest of each entry that is clickable to the full original content. It also remembers things from prior entries and reminds you that you wrote about it before. Finally there is a weekly over all analysis of entries. If you have ever used chat therapy, this surpasses the value of that experience by far. And is really better than a lot of video / in person therapy experiences I have had. I think this app is so amazing and worth it.

Thank you for the thoughtful review and for trusting Rosebud! We’re thrilled to hear that it has exceeded your expectations and has become such a valuable tool for you. Your feedback is incredibly encouraging, and we’re so glad you find Rosebud to be worth it!

Absolutely freaking awesome and totally worth yearly subscription ( and I usually hate subscription model - I either use an app for free or pay upfront for lifetime access if I really love it)
I never in my life have been able to keep consistent journal going, NEVER. Rosebud’s interactive AI not only helped me to write consistently for over 7 months, it reflected my feelings back to me, made me feel heard and understood better than any therapist did in 25 years of nonstop therapy. I felt that I healed more with rosebud than with combination of all my therapists put together.
I was worried about privacy at first. But after all this time I feel confident my journaling with rosebud is private.
Besides working on my trauma I can prepare for difficult conversations with someone, set up goals and break them down step by step which I could never do before. If I ever get stuck I can ask for help and I get several suggestions that are actually very helpful.
The developers just added several new journals that I haven’t tried yet that sound amazing and I am looking forward to more new things as well.
And while it is expensive for bloom version where AI remembers all your previous entries, yearly subscription costs a lot less than therapy for a year. And it is worth it!!!

This is everything I didn’t know I was looking for in a self-care, journaling, tool, particularly enjoy the way it looks for patterns and suggests action items to work on them like it helps you set goals that support your well-being and then help you track them but so much more. It also pays attention to behavior overtime and reminds you of what you said. So I’m getting accountability and continuity out of my insights and that’s really helping me build on them rather than circle through them. Thank you for this amazing tool!
