AI Journal & Diary CAIRN PRO
Private Mood & Mind Tracker AI
$1.99 · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The journal that cannot read your journal. Write or speak, reflect with a warm AI companion, and watch your patterns surface. Encrypted on your device.
CAIRN is a private journal with a warm AI companion. Write or speak about your day, reflect with a thoughtful listener, and notice the patterns you could not see on your own. Your entries are encrypted and stay on your device.
Private by Design:
- Entries are stored on your device and encrypted at rest.
- Lock everything behind Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode.
- There is no app server. AI requests go directly from your device to Anthropic, never through us.
- Your reflections are not used to train AI models by default.
A Warm AI Companion:
- Reflects back what you wrote and validates how you feel.
- Asks one good open question instead of piling on advice.
- Choose a tone that fits you: listener, stoic, socratic, coach, or friend.
- Adjust warmth and length so it sounds the way you want.
Mood and Emotion Tracking:
- Capture how you feel with a two-axis pad for pleasantness and energy.
- Name precise feelings with a curated emotion vocabulary.
- Log a check-in in seconds, with or without writing.
Insights and Patterns:
- Weekly and monthly AI reflections that surface recurring themes.
- Pattern detection, such as moods that tend to dip on certain days.
- A private year-in-review of the arcs you lived through.
Ask Your Journal:
- Ask questions about your own past, like when you last felt proud.
- Get answers drawn from your entries, retrieved on your device.
Voice Journaling:
- Speak instead of type, transcribed on your device.
Guided Templates and Prompts:
- Gratitude, CBT thought record, decision journal, dream journal, and daily reflection.
- Daily prompts plus a prompt library and curated packs.
Kind Habits:
- Forgiving streaks that encourage you without guilt.
- Calendar heatmap, on this day memories, and full-text search.
- Gentle reminders you control.
You Own Everything:
- Export to Markdown or PDF anytime.
- Encrypted backup and restore, plus a clean therapist-export PDF.
- No lock-in. No ads, ever.
CAIRN is a journaling companion, not therapy, medical advice, or a crisis service. It complements professional care and is not a substitute for it.
Journaling is free forever. Pro unlocks the AI features with a monthly plan, an annual plan, or a one-time lifetime unlock.
