About

Speak or write what's on your mind. Kokoro Nikki turns it into something more: a visual map of your emotions, a kintsugi timeline that honors every crack and every repair, an interior landscape that grows with you. No account. No streaks. No guilt. WHY KOKORO NIKKI Whether you're new to journaling or have kept a diary for years, Kokoro Nikki gives you a gentle, judgment-free space to capture what matters. On the days you have time, and the days you don't. WHAT IT DOES • Voice journaling: speak and the app turns it into text • AI emotion analysis: notice the feelings behind your words • Thought threads: answer an entry from months ago, and read both together • Interior Landscape: a watercolor that emerges from what you write • Kintsugi timeline: your whole story, cracks and all • Emotional patterns: how your mood moves over time • Daily reflection prompts: questions to sit with, not tasks to complete • Haiku mode: a day in 5-7-5 • Seasonal themes: the app moves with sakura, summer, autumn leaves and winter • App lock with Face ID, Touch ID or your iPhone passcode • Write by voice in up to 25 languages, independent of the app's interface language • Your entries are stored on your device OPEN IT AND WRITE No sign-up, no password, no form. I do not ask for your email. A QUIET RITUAL Most journals ask you to perform. Kokoro Nikki asks you to notice. Speak or write, then let your words become a landscape, a line of gold, a reading of how you've been. The entry is the seed; what comes after is the garden. YOUR PRIVACY, WITHOUT THE FINE PRINT I would rather be exact than sound good: • Your entries are stored on your device. • The audio of your recordings is never uploaded to a server I run. • Voice transcription tries your iPhone's local recognizer first. If that does not work, Apple's speech service completes it, and in that case the audio leaves the device to become text. • Emotion analysis is optional. It sends the entry's text, never the audio, to a secure service that returns the result. You can decline it and keep writing. • Your journal is never sold and never used to train AI models. FREE TRIAL AND SUBSCRIPTION 7 days with everything included. After that a subscription is needed to write new entries, but your diary does not go anywhere: everything you wrote stays readable, and so does what the app read in it, and you can export all of it whenever you want, as a Markdown file that carries your data in JSON. The amount and the renewal date are shown in full before you pay, with no extra tap. If you take the year, a notification thirty days before it renews tells you the date, the amount and how to cancel. No surprise charges. ——— Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Terms of Service: https://kokoro-nikki.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://kokoro-nikki.com/privacy

What's New in Kokoro Nikki

1.2.1

September 3, 2026

The entry you write when you first open Kokoro Nikki is yours from the moment you write it. That was always the promise, and it turned out I was not quite keeping it: if you decided not to subscribe, those words stayed on your phone and the app would not show them to you. That is fixed. Decline the price and you keep your entry, to read and to export whenever you want. Writing new entries still needs a subscription, and so do the reflections and the landscapes. I would rather say that plainly than dress it up. The questions your writing draws out are visible again too, even without a subscription. Sometimes it is worth seeing what you were asked, long before you are ready to answer. The plans screen reads more clearly. It no longer tells you your seven days are complete when you never had seven days. The buy button holds its height when you pick a plan, and the text that was too faint to read is readable now. ——— Tuesday, 2 September 2026 It has been raining for three days. This morning I had to go to my nine to five without my bike. It is raining, and hard. The day at the office was intense, and I am letting this release go from the back of an Uber. Small improvements, and a lot of hours put into the project. Will anyone read my What's New journal? I do not know. But I find it fun to write. I hope that you, wherever you are, enjoy using the app I made with so much care. M
