## What is Ethos?

Capture passing thoughts before they vanish.

Ethos is a minimalist voice diary designed for overthinkers, dreamers, and seekers of clarity. We’ve removed the friction of typing and the distraction of complex menus, leaving you with a serene space to simply speak.

Why Ethos?

Instant Immersion: Recording starts the moment you open the app. No buttons, no lag—just you and your thoughts.

Calming Insights: Visualize your mental landscape. Track your mood trends, recording streaks, and recurring themes over time with soft, organic data visualizations.

Elegant Transcription: Every word is automatically transcribed and tagged.

No Third-Party AI. Ever: Your diary is never sent to an AI service. Transcription, titles, mood, and tags are produced by Apple's own on-device intelligence, running on your iPhone.

Yours Alone: There's no account to create and no server of ours to hold your entries. Everything stays on your device and, if you choose, syncs privately to your own iCloud—where only you can read it.

Designed for Serenity

Inspired by the tactile nature of vellum and the rhythm of breathing, Ethos features a "Ivory Moss" aesthetic—soft gradients, Newsreader typography, and an utter absence of sharp corners. It’s not just an app; it’s a digital sanctuary.
