Cannot recommend this app enough.

It’s absolutely worth the investment. I truly feel like I am talking to someone who can help me think through problems. The insight I’ve gained using this app has been immeasurably. You also get tons of support about how to use the app to get the most out of it.

Very intuitive and helpful

I was initially sceptical when someone mentioned they had begun using an AI journaling app. I have found Rosebud to be incredibly intuitive and the speed and quality of it’s responses are amazing.

Exceptional App for Reflection

It’s like having a journal that writes back. I know the responses are AI, but it’s done so well that it’s more than just smart prompts. The analysis and suggestions are often spot-on. The fact that it remembers what I’ve talked about and asks follow-up questions later in the week is really great. And the weekly report that summaries your days and charts the arc of your week is fantastic. Well worth the very reasonable subscription rate. Like everything in life, you’ll get out of it what you put into it, but if you take the time to write honestly, this can be an amazing tool for self-reflection and moving into action. Kudos and thanks to the developers for this one!

The app I never knew I needed

I’ve been using this app for a little less than a week, but it has been absolutely vital in helping me navigate some difficult life transitions and delve a little bit deeper into my thought processes and feelings. The apps function to “dive deeper” into your entries by offering additional prompts has made my journaling habit so helpful to my overall self-care practice. I find it so hard to keep a habit of keeping a journal despite the health benefits that it has. I truly feel like Rosebud is going to help it stick. Thank you so much for making this app.

Wonderful

This app has been so wonderful. Like having a personal life coach at will. Helps me be a better person and a more joyful, present and calm person.

A different kind of journaling, but I really like it!

I actually have no trouble with journaling at all - I can write on and on if I like with very little prompting. That’s great for processing my emotions, and sometimes I do need that freeform emotional processing, without any input. But it can also make me ruminate a bit, so I wanted to give something more interactive a try too.

What I’m finding this helpful for is when I need a little extra help with motivation or accountability. I didn’t resonate much with the built in journals, so I made some custom journals - one to help process a specific mental health journey I’m working through, and another to focus on exercise and eventually, losing some weight. It’s so nice to have both of these in one place, because the journal is picking up on cues from my mental health to help me improve my physical health.

I can feel some of the AI-ness behind it, and I wouldn’t use it as a full replacement for therapy or connecting with communities that understand you. But it does help me process and brainstorm about my mental health and how it intersects with my well-being, and is getting me unstuck from some tough spots. It’s honestly just nice having an extra personalized support system check in on me and see how I’m doing with my goals and what I might need to get me there. I’m curious to see where this goes - I’m still in my first week or two of using it, but really happy so far.

Best mental health app I’ve ever used

I was looking for a good mental health app that I could use to journal that didn’t cost a ton of money for basic features. I stumbled upon rosebud and figured id give it a try. I was impressed by the “dig deeper” feature which helped me process and think through my prompt. After a couple entries I ended up loving it so much that I immediately got the pro version and it’s the best $13 I’ve ever spent. I look forward to doing my prompts every morning and evening, and looking at my weekly insights. Depending on how much you type in your entries, you can get a potentially super detailed reflection of your past week that is scary accurate in terms of what might have been going through your mind and insights about the week overall. I wish there was a mood tracking section, but so far im loving this app.

So valuable!

I really appreciate the options for journaling that this app gives you. You can write about whatever you want or you can use one of the prompts they provide. And as someone who has alexithymia, this app does a fantastic job of helping me sort out what I'm feeling and why. This feature alone has really helped ease uncomfortable feelings, both emotional and physical, by enabling me to accurately identify what's bothering me.

A Great Leap Forward in journaling

I have found rosebud to be an amazing companion in lifting up my journaling experience but more supporting my overall growth. I find the custom journals exciting having created quite a few to help me to untangle some of my learnings and personal growth

Great tool for better mental health

I rarely write reviews, even when I like apps, but this app is incredible! I am a mental health counseling intern and have personally found this app to be so helpful in tracking how I’m doing and giving great guidance for ways to improve mentally/emotionally throughout the week. It summarizes my reflections succinctly and offers helpful tools to improve my overall well-being. The weekly insights help me to reflect on what’s been helping or hindering my wellness each week. THIS is a great use of AI. Cannot recommend this app enough!
