## What is JournAI?

JournAI is your personal AI journaling companion. Have natural voice or text conversations that help you explore your thoughts, process emotions, and build self-awareness.

Unlike traditional journaling apps, JournAI talks back. It asks thoughtful follow-up questions, remembers what matters to you, and helps you see patterns in your thinking over time.

JOURNAL TYPES
Create up to 5 journals, each with its own purpose and personality:
- Inner Work — process emotions with extra privacy and encryption
- Health & Habits — track sleep, symptoms, and patterns
- Just Venting — be heard without analysis
- Goals & Decisions — map out your next steps
- Travel Journal — capture trips and how they felt

FEATURES
- Voice conversations — speak naturally, hear responses read aloud
- Memory — your journal remembers context and preferences across sessions
- Choose your voice — pick from multiple AI voices per journal
- AI-powered reflections — thoughtful follow-up questions that go deeper
- Search past journals — ask the AI about things you've discussed before
- Privacy-first — Inner Work journals are fully encrypted and unsearchable
- Export anytime — your data belongs to you

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.2 — 2026-08-07

Faster, smarter conversations with an upgraded AI model. Voice playback now explains itself when it needs to switch voices, instead of changing silently. Various fixes and improvements.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-05-30

Stability and voice improvements:
• Fixed a crash that could occur during voice playback.
• Voice now starts smoothly instead of stuttering on the first line.
• More thoughtful responses in therapy journals.

### 1.4 — 2026-05-01

Better voice playback: replies now stay at full volume across every message in a conversation, Inworld voice is back and faster, and the screen stays on while the AI is  speaking. Plus a small fix so the sign-in screen no longer hides behind the keyboard.

### 1.3 — 2026-04-21

Faster responses:                                                                    
  • Background memory updates so voice responses start much faster                     
  • Optimized audio streaming — TTS begins while the AI is still thinking              
                                                                                       
  Smarter memory:                                                                      
  • The AI now has deeper context across long conversations                            
  • Better continuity between chats (the app remembers more about you)                 
                                                                                       
  Better voice experience:                                                             
  • Audio icon shows your phone's current volume at a glance                           
  • Warning if your volume is muted before recording                                   
  • Replay is now free — replayed messages don't count against your TTS usage          
                                                                                       
  Plus bug fixes for iOS audio playback and memory storage.
