Yorishiro: AI CBT Journal
Mental health journaling diary
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Write however you like. Yorishiro sorts each entry into facts, feelings, thoughts and body, with CBT-informed feedback. Start free, or try Deepen free for 30 days.
Write, reflect, and see yourself more clearly.
The more you write, the clearer your patterns become.
Yorishiro is an AI-assisted journal for reflecting on your thoughts, emotions, and actions through daily writing.
In Japan, a yorishiro is a vessel that gives the unseen a place to dwell. This app is a quiet, modern version of that — a space where your everyday words gather until they show you who you are.
KEY FEATURES
• Free-form journaling
Write about what happened, how you felt, and what was on your mind. One sentence is enough.
• Voice input
Speak instead of typing, and your words become text.
• AI journal analysis
AI breaks each entry into what happened, how you felt, what you thought, and how your body felt. Its feedback draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you step back and look at your day without judging yourself. Physical energy and mental clarity scores appear on your calendar, so you can see them shift over time.
• AI rewriting
Have AI polish an entry into the style and voice you prefer, without losing what you meant to say.
• Conversations with AI
Explore an experience or a feeling through guided questions that help you put hard-to-express thoughts into words.
• A personal profile that grows with you
AI turns your entries into a profile of your strengths, tendencies, challenges, and values. On eligible paid plans, it can refresh automatically once a month.
• Strengths and personality assessments
Add your results from any of 11 supported assessments, and AI will factor them into its analysis and conversations.
• Weekly and monthly summaries
See how your emotions and thought patterns shift over time, summarized automatically.
• Insights
Visualize patterns in your emotions, thinking habits, scores, and most-used tags.
• Sync with the web app
Sign in at yorishiro.me with the same account to pick up where you left off on a larger screen.
Yorishiro is for anyone who wants to make sense of everyday thoughts and feelings, notice recurring patterns, or grow more self-aware — through work, relationships, parenting, and the changes life brings.

• Turn your Mood Weather, your personality type, and your weekly or monthly summaries into cards you can save as images or share. Your journal text is never included. Some cards require an account or a paid plan.
• The suggested questions on the Chat screen are new. They now cover five angles (well-being, emotions, thinking patterns, actions and coping, themes and change) and match how much you have journaled. Tap one to place it in the message field, then edit it before sending.
• The banner at the top of the entry screen now shows a short passage of poetry or prose, changing daily (140 in all). Tap it to read the original text and its background.
• Bookmarked answers now show the full question they answered.
• Swipe left or right on the calendar to change months, or tap the month and year to jump to any month.
• The Well-Being and entry screens have a cleaner layout.
