## What is AI Journal & Deep Think?

Clio — the AI that thinks before it answers.

Some thoughts don't resolve in a quick reply. You turn a decision over and over, sensing you've missed something but unable to name it. Clio is built for exactly those moments.

Unlike AI that responds the instant you hit send, Clio takes 30–60 seconds to genuinely think. Then it reflects back the patterns, connections, and perspectives sitting in your blind spots — and asks the questions you didn't know to ask. Write or speak what's on your mind; Clio thinks it through with you.

"I kept going back and forth about changing jobs. Clio pointed out that I wasn't worried about the new role — I was worried about disappointing my current boss."

"I have thoughts in the shower I can't share with anyone. Clio challenges my perspective from angles I'd never have considered."

A quiet space to think
- Process your day before bed
- Work through a difficult decision
- Make sense of a confusing situation
- Explore a new idea or creative project

Why people stay with Clio
- Thinks before it responds — 30 to 60 seconds, not instant noise
- Surfaces the patterns and blind spots you'd likely miss on your own
- Remembers what matters across your entries, so each conversation builds on the last
- Speaks 30+ languages, naturally
- Private by design, from the first word

Your thoughts stay yours
No ads. No data selling. Nothing used to train AI. Every entry is encrypted, password-protected, and stays on your device.

Clio is for personal reflection and journaling. It isn't a substitute for professional care — for that, please consult a qualified provider.

### 1/5 — Funktionslos

*2026-08-13*

Nachdem der Entwickler im letzten Update angeblich den Bug entfernt hat, dass der Bildschirm einfriert, kann ich den Bugfix nicht bestätigen.
Ich habe erstmals die App geladen, mich durch diverse Screens durchgezapped und kam, bevor ich überhaupt irgendetwas erstellen konnte, auf einen eingefrorenen Bildschirm. Ich habe keine Zeit und keine Lust als Betatester für andere meine Zeit zu verplempern. Die App gibt es seit einem Jahr. Wenn da noch Fehler drin sind, hat der Entwickler meine fünf Sterne nicht verdient und bekommt von mir keine InApp-Käufe.
Habe die App gelöscht und mein Leben geht weiter.

### 1/5 — Fehler- App nicht nutzbar

*2026-05-25*

Ich habe die App heruntergeladen und finde die Idee großartig! leider konnte ich sie bisher nicht nutzen, da die App immer an der selben Stelle „hängen“ bleibt. Noch bevor man die Chance hat seine Gedanken aufzusprechen. Sehr schade- ich nutze ein Iphone 12 mini.

### 5/5 — This app is going to explode in the next few years.

*2026-05-18*

I’m shocked how this app only has one written review.  The information I’ve received from this app is amazing!  The more detailed information you give, the better the results you receive.  The application allows you to continue a conversation and it connects all the past  entries.  The responses are well constructed and have really helped me reshape my narrative on certain subjects.   I initially didn’t like the 2000 character limit on entries, but learned that it’s a good feature.  It keeps me from adding too much information at once.  I’m intentional with my entries and work on one incident/subject at a time.  You can always add more later and the application will process it as a whole.   Such a great tool.   I suggest trying the free 3 entries within 24 hours and make sure you are completely honest with it.  I was impressed after the first response and subscribed the same day.

### 5/5 — 안녕하세요 개발자님

*2026-03-12*

잘 사용하고 있던 유저인데
오랜만에 들어와 사용하려 하니
미안 질문을 이해할 수 없어 멘트만 계속 뜨고 오류가 나요.
재시도를 눌러도 곧바로 저 멘트가 뜨고
몇 번 더 질문을 다시 하며 시도했더니
이젠 무료 질문이 끝났대요
빠르게 개선해주시면 정말 감사하겠습니다
이 어플 너무 마음에 들어서
개발자님의 다른 어플들도 두세 개 같이 깐 사람인 만큼
이 어플 너무 의지하구 있어요

### 5/5 — The best

*2025-10-18*

Just wish it had an audio option to have a conversation or at least hear the response.

### 5/5 — Merci

*2025-09-07*

Des avis vraiment très pertinents, qui font réfléchir et prendre du recul. Et qui donne parfois même un sentiment de fierté de soi.

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis que Clio vous ait aidé.

### 5/5 — amazing ，deep insights

*2025-08-01*

so cool, answer my question with a really deep thinking method, impressive!

**Developer response:** : )
