Rosebud: AI Journal & Diary 4+

This is probably the only app review I’ve ever done. I’ve been using this for 2 days and I can already see a significant difference in my wellbeing overall. This app is worth its weight in gold. I’ve always had a hard time journaling or staying consistent with it, but this app makes it feel like you’re checking in with a friend or a therapist twice a day. It’s extremely insightful, forces you to dig deeper to the root of your feelings and if you’re not accomplishing something you could be to make yourself better, it’ll bring that to light to help you do more of the things that will improve your mental health and well being. I can’t stress enough how worth it this app is. I will definitely be a continued user after the free trial is up! Thank you for developing such an incredible tool. I fully believe this is something that could replace a therapist in the long term for a lot of people and it’s way less money than paying upwards to $150 a session for someone that you may not connect with, or feel like is being fake or bias.

Thank you so much for your generous feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you’re already noticing a positive difference in your well-being in such as short time! Your support is truly appreciated! ❤️

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!!!
