Eine sehr gute Journal App

Die App hilft dabei, eine tägliche Reflexion der eigenen Gedanken und Gefühle zu ermöglichen , sowie sie zu strukturieren. Sie hinterfragt deinen inneren Kritiker und feiert deine großen und kleinen Erfolge mit dir. Mir hilft sie sehr dabei deutlich freundlicher mir selbst gegenüber zu sein und mich anzuerkennen.

Know What It Does & Doesn’t Do

I don’t like having someone else re-word my thoughts and journal for me. I don’t dislike my voice or struggle to express myself in that way. It’s weird to not be able to edit the final draft that you didn’t even write yourself, even if something is inaccurate. Combined with usual AI issues like asking questions you’ve already declined. I’m sure it’s great if it’s what you’re looking for. It’s just not my cup of tea.

Journaling, Healing, Hope

I’ve only had this app for three days and it has given me a place and a method to journal my thoughts and feelings but with really profound and invaluable prompts to further introspection and discover truths and how I feel about the things important to me in my life. I believe this app along with the work I’m willing to do toward that end are going to change my life forever.

Not worth the money!

I’m surprised I can even write this because I have used up all of my words on rosebud for the month in 2 weeks! I paid $150 for an annual subscription only to find out that after two weeks I can’t use it again until July 15th (it’s currently June 24th) because I am at my limit. I didn’t see a single thing about a limit when I bought this package. If I want to use it before then I need to upgrade at double or quadruple the price i already paid. What a scam. If you don’t have much to say, it might be worth it to you although, I found that the app is pretty much the same as other ai bots. It gets a lot wrong, isn’t really very intelligent so to speak and it kept trying to end my session the other day. Maybe it knew I was getting close to my cap on words. It didn’t let me know that though. In fact i didn’t get a warning on my usage limit until today when I only had 2% left. I had no way to plan for that. I do not recommend!

Wonderful Tool!

I’ve been using Rosebud for a bit now and honestly… I’m kinda surprised by how much I like it!

I originally downloaded it thinking I’d poke around with it for a few days and probably forget about it, but I’ve actually been using it pretty consistently.

The journaling part is great on its own, but what really makes it stand out is the AI conversation feature. It’ll ask questions, reflect things back to you, suggest books/articles, throw out quotes, write little haikus, help you dig into stuff from different angles, etc. Some of the insights have actually been pretty interesting and helpful.

That said, I think the biggest thing is remembering what it is: a tool.

A really good tool. But still a tool.

It’s not a therapist. It’s not your friend. It’s not some all-knowing source of wisdom. Sometimes it’s insightful, sometimes it’s off base, and sometimes it’ll tell you exactly what you needed to hear. You still need your own critical thinking, your own judgment, your own imagination, your own support system.

I think AI works best when it’s part of a bigger picture. Therapy, friends, family, journaling, self-reflection, learning, personal growth… AI can be a really cool addition to that. It shouldn’t replace those things.

For me, it’s been a fun way to process thoughts, notice patterns, explore ideas, and sometimes just have a place to brain dump and see what comes back. I’ve gotten some genuinely useful reflections from it, and some of the random little haikus it generates are weirdly charming 😅

So yeah, if you go into it understanding that it’s a tool and not a substitute for being human, I think there’s a lot of value here.

I’ve really been enjoying it ❤️

A couple feature suggestions for the developers:

The biggest one for me would be search functionality. Maybe I’m missing it, but I’d love to be able to search my journal entries by keywords, phrases, or even tags. Right now, if I remember writing about a specific topic a week or two ago, it can be hard to find exactly where I wrote it.

It would also be cool if users could add custom tags to entries and then search or filter by those tags later. Since Rosebud already tracks things like emotions and themes, having a way to search across those categories or even combine them with custom tags,would make it much easier to revisit past insights and patterns.

Another thing I’d love to see is longer-term reflection reports. I’ve only been using Rosebud for a couple weeks, but I really enjoy the weekly reflections. If they don’t already exist, I’d love monthly, quarterly, or even seasonal reflections as well. Sometimes the most interesting patterns don’t show up over a single week, and it would be really cool to see broader trends in mood, recurring themes, personal growth, challenges, and goals over longer periods of time.

Overall though, I think the app is very user-friendly and thoughtfully designed. It’s been easy to use, easy to engage with, and much more enjoyable than I expected. The developers have done a really great job, and I’m excited to see how it continues to evolve.
