Told by Me is a voice journal for people who think better out loud. Pick how you feel like talking, talk, and your phone turns it into text and a short summary. Everything happens on your phone.
One-time $4.99. No subscription, no ads, no account.
THREE WAYS TO TALK
• Shout, when you need to let it out.
• Tell Me, when you just need to talk.
• Whisper, when you need to be heard quietly.
One tap starts recording. A calm, full-screen view shows a timer and your voice as a moving line. It keeps recording with the screen locked, for an hour or more.
YOUR WORDS, IN WRITING
When you stop, your phone turns your voice into text, right on the phone. No server ever hears it. You can leave the screen while it works, edit the text, and keep or delete the audio.
A SHORT SUMMARY
Each entry gets a 2 to 4 sentence summary and a few key moments, quoted in your own words. On supported iPhones, the phone's own on-device AI can write a smart summary. Every summary only describes what you said. It never gives advice and never diagnoses. You can edit or redo it anytime.
BRING IT TO YOUR THERAPIST OR DOCTOR
Lose what you wanted to say between appointments? Pick the dates and make a clean PDF on your phone: your summaries and key moments, a short overview, and a checklist of things you want to bring up. Add the full transcripts if you like. Print it, email it or save it with your phone's share sheet. Letter or A4.
FIND WHAT YOU SAID
Entries are grouped by day, with titles and tags for who, what, where and how you feel. Search every word you said, and filter by mode or tag. Play any recording back at 1x, 1.5x or 2x, and tap a paragraph to hear it.
YOUR MONTH, GENTLY
See how often you used each mode, the tags you used most, and how many minutes you talked. Plain words that describe, never judge.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• 100% offline. No cloud. No account. No ads. Ever.
• Recordings and text stay on your phone, and stay out of cloud backups.
• Optional app lock with Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint or your passcode.
• An optional, gentle daily check-in at the time you choose.
• Back up everything to one file you keep, with or without audio, and restore it on a new phone.
• Export all your transcripts as plain text.
Keep it to yourself, or share it with your therapist, your friend, your partner, your dog.
Told by Me is a private journal, not therapy or medical care. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 (US).
