Vesta is a journal with a full AI companion — one that runs entirely on your iPhone. It reflects on what you write, helps you notice how you feel, and talks things through with you. Nothing leaves your device. Most journaling apps send your most private words to the cloud. Vesta doesn't. The intelligence is Apple's on-device AI, so your entries, photos, voice notes and health data are processed and stored on your phone — never uploaded, never trained on, never seen. WHAT VESTA DOES • On-device analysis — every entry is gently read for emotion, themes and a one-line summary, instantly and privately. • Talk it through — a warm, reflective conversation about any entry, by voice or text, in the style that fits your mood. • Ask your journal — “When have I felt most at peace?” Get grounded answers drawn only from your own words. • Weekly & monthly reflections — Vesta notices your patterns over time and writes you a calm recap. • Mood & emotions — one-tap check-ins and a rich emotion vocabulary, charted into insight you can feel. • Health & weather insight — see how sleep, activity and the weather quietly shape your mood. • Capture anything — photos, video, voice notes and scanned pages, with on-device transcription and text recognition. • Apple Watch — catch a mood or a quick note from your wrist; it syncs straight to your journal. • Ten languages, including the one the AI writes back in. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE • 100% on-device AI — no cloud, no AI servers. • No account, no login — we don’t know who you are. • Optional iCloud sync, end-to-end encrypted through your own iCloud — neither Vesta nor Apple can read it. • No ads, no trackers, no data brokers. FREE & PLUS Journaling, on-device analysis, mood check-ins, capture and Apple Watch are free. Vesta Plus unlocks the deeper AI: Talk, Ask, weekly/monthly/yearly reflections, Health and weather insights, and export — as a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase, with a free trial. Vesta is a calm, private place to think — not a medical service. Note: the on-device AI features require an Apple Intelligence–capable iPhone (iPhone 15 Pro or newer). Journaling, mood check-ins and capture work on all supported devices.

Ground yourself A new guided exercise for hard moments. Breathe, notice your senses, and settle with a gentle reframe that now matches how you actually feel, whether you are anxious, low, or angry. Start it from the Today screen, from Control Center, the Lock Screen, or the Action Button, and on Apple Watch. It works fully offline. A companion that remembers When you talk with Vesta, it now quietly draws on your own most relevant past entries, so conversations feel more connected to your story. It also keeps a warm and consistent tone in your language. Clearer and more honest insights Entry analysis is more grounded. It stays close to what you actually wrote, no longer adds details you did not mention, and gives cleaner themes. Better answers from your journal Ask now understands the meaning behind your questions and finds the right past entries more reliably. Your moods together Moods you log in Apple Health now appear next to your Vesta check ins on the Insights chart and feed into your patterns and trends. A more natural voice Where your language only has a basic system voice, Vesta can now read aloud in your own on device Personal Voice. A short and clear screen explains your options before any sound plays. On this day Your gentle daily reminder can now invite you to revisit a memory from the same day in an earlier year. As always, there is no account, no cloud, and no tracking. Your words never leave your device. ### 1.4 — 2026-06-23 Vesta 1.4 brings the on-device AI right into your writing, plus a more personal way to reflect. Go deeper as you write While you journal, Vesta can offer gentle follow up questions based on what you have already written, so it is easier to explore a feeling or a thought. Ask for one yourself, or let a question appear after a natural pause. It all runs on your iPhone, and your words never leave the device. Start from a real moment Vesta now works with Apple Journaling Suggestions. Turn a photo, a place you visited, a workout, or a song you heard into a ready to write entry. Apple prepares the suggestions privately on your device, and Vesta only ever sees the one you choose. Choose your mentor in Talk When you talk things through, you can now pick from several mentors, each with a short description of its style, so you can find the voice that fits how you want to reflect. Privacy, in plain words A new privacy screen explains exactly how Vesta keeps your journal yours, with honest wording that adapts to whether Advanced Data Protection is on. More polish Entries now show a clear title in the detail view, insights no longer repeat your own words back to you, themes appear in your language, and a reflection you save from a conversation reads as your own note rather than a transcript. Many smaller refinements round out the release. As always, everything that matters happens on your device. No account, no tracking, and no cloud ever reading your journal. ### 1.3 — 2026-06-19 Capture a thought from anywhere, and let Vesta do the rest. This update makes it faster to get what is on your mind into your journal, with everything still processed and stored privately on your device. Add to Vesta from any app - Share a photo, a screenshot, a link, or selected text from Safari, Photos, Messages, or almost any app, and save it straight to your journal with an optional note. - The shared media stays on your device and is encrypted, just like everything else in Vesta. Shortcuts and Siri - New actions let you create an entry, add a note with a photo, or log your mood without opening the app. - Build your own routines or ask Siri, so journaling fits the way you already work. Smarter, calmer entries - Each entry now gets a short, thoughtful title, generated on your device, so your journal is easy to scan at a glance. - Emotion badges appear on every entry once it has been analyzed, and you can edit any title yourself. A clearer look at how you feel - The Mood Trend now adapts to the time range you choose: daily bars for the week, a gentle line for the month, weekly bars for the quarter, and a year in pixels view for all time. - A new Emotions section surfaces the feelings you write about most, including the quieter ones a single chart cannot show. More polish - Better readability in Dark Mode, a clearer first run experience, and small refinements throughout. As always, Vesta has no account and no cloud requirement. The on device AI reads every entry for emotion, theme, and meaning, and nothing you write is ever sent to a server. ### 1.2 — 2026-06-18 This update brings Vesta closer to your everyday — and, as always, everything stays private and on your device. More on Apple Watch Log your mood, track an activity, or dictate a quick note right from your wrist. See your week of moods at a glance — all synced privately with your iPhone.

Insights Sharper charts and themes, a steadier Weather & Mood section, and cleaner cards. What Vesta remembers A clearer, warmer view.

Vesta runs entirely on your device; your entries stay yours, synced only across your devices with end‑to‑end encrypted iCloud. ### 1.1 — 2026-06-17 This update makes Vesta more personal and easier to read. As always, everything stays 100% on your device: private, with no account. Mood & Insights • The Mood Trend chart is redesigned.
