## What is Vidlun?

Vidlun is a voice journal for how the day actually felt.

You say one sentence. Vidlun turns it into text on your phone, listens for the feeling behind the words, and offers a name for it - which you are always free to change or refuse. Over days the entries become a journal; over weeks, a picture of you.

HOW IT WORKS
• Tap, speak, done - an entry takes under a minute
• Speech is recognised on your phone by Vidlun's built-in model - Ukrainian, English and the mix of them - with nothing to download. The audio never leaves your phone
• Vidlun proposes emotion words; you keep yours or adopt its
• Every entry lands in a journal you can search and reread
• A colour-coded week shows how the days sat together

FREE FOREVER
Recording, on-device transcription, emotion names, the journal, search, the mood chart and your growing emotion vocabulary.

THE WEEKLY NARRATIVE (subscription)
Once a week Vidlun reads your entries and writes what it noticed: how the tone moved, what kept coming back, what sounded lighter. Subscribers also get observations on single entries, the week's themes, and recordings up to five minutes. Plans are monthly, yearly, or a single lifetime purchase; subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in your App Store settings.

PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE
No account. No sign-up. No analytics. Your recordings stay on your phone and delete themselves after thirteen months; the written entries stay for good. Only the text of an entry is sent, over an authenticated channel, to generate the analysis - never the audio, never your name.

Vidlun is a journal, not a medical service. It does not diagnose and does not replace professional help.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-09-21

The speech model now comes with the app. Nothing to download, nothing to set up: grant the microphone and say your first entry, in Ukrainian, English or the mix of them, on any connection or none.

Also in this version:
• Onboarding is three short screens.
• The Speech section is gone from your profile: there is nothing left to choose there.
• The app is larger to install because the model rides inside it; updates stay small.
• If the connection drops while you are naming an entry, the entry is saved with your word and Vidlun's reading arrives once you are back online.
• The evening reminder no longer arrives twice.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-15

Speak English? Vidlun now understands it with your iPhone's own on-device recognition, so there is nothing to download before your first entry. Ukrainian and mixed speech keep Vidlun's own model, which you download once - now from a new Speech section in your profile, where you can also change the language you speak or delete the model.

Also in this version:
• Shorter onboarding and clearer permission screens.
• The model download is more resilient: if Apple's servers can't deliver it, Vidlun fetches it directly.
• A typed entry now says it has no audio instead of claiming that recordings are switched off.
• Layout respects the iPhone's side safe areas.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-15

No release notes.
