## What is Vanamo?

Vanamo is a private, AI-powered journal. You write about your day, and an on-device AI responds with a thoughtful reflection — gently surfacing the patterns, themes, and feelings underneath. No chat to keep up with. No advice. Just a calm space to write, and feel understood.

What makes Vanamo different is privacy you can actually trust. The AI runs on your iPhone with Apple Intelligence — your words are never sent to a server and never used to train any model. Your entries are end-to-end encrypted, kept on your device and, if you choose, your own iCloud. There is no account and no sign-up. Only you can ever read your journal.

WRITE, THEN REFLECT
• Write freely — or simply speak, and Vanamo turns your voice into text.
• Receive a warm, on-device reflection that mirrors what you wrote.
• See the feelings and themes in each entry, named and weighted.
• Go deeper with a gentle follow-up question whenever you want more.

SEE YOUR PATTERNS
• Notice how you have felt across days, weeks, and months.
• Watch recurring themes emerge — work, rest, the people who matter.
• Revisit "On this day" from entries past.

GO DEEPER WITH VANAMO PREMIUM
• Unlock weekly, monthly, and yearly reflections across your whole journal — depth and perspective, computed privately on your iPhone.
• Reflect through different lenses: compassion, stoic, gratitude, and more.

GENTLE BY DESIGN
• Optional daily reminders and morning or evening prompts.
• Guided journals for daily writing, reflection, and growth.
• Soft intentions instead of streaks — no pressure, ever.
• A home-screen widget to begin writing in a tap.
• Optional place and weather context, off by default.
• Face ID or passcode lock, in a calm "Paper Room" design with light and dark themes.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your entries are end-to-end encrypted.
• AI runs privately, on your iPhone.
• No account. No tracking. No training on your words.

Vanamo is free to begin. Vanamo Premium (Deep Reflection) is an optional subscription with a free trial that unlocks reflections across your entire journal. Cancel anytime.

Requires an iPhone with Apple Intelligence turned on.

Write. Then reflect.
