## What is Voice Journal AI?

Your mind is full. The page is blank. Dearly is the AI voice journal that lets you skip the page and just talk.

Most journals ask you to sit down and write, and that is the part people give up on. Dearly asks for a minute of talking out loud, the way you'd tell a friend. Tap the orb, say what's on your mind, and it comes back as a written page you'll actually want to read again.

NO BLANK PAGE, EVER
No sentences to structure, no grammar, no cursor waiting for you. Talk for a minute in the car, on a walk, or in bed with the lights off. Dearly writes it down in clean serif type, gives the entry a heading so you can find it again, and puts it away.
 • 10 entries written out every day. Free, forever.

YOU DON'T THINK IN A SECOND LANGUAGE
Writing gives you time to find the right words. Talking doesn't, and it shouldn't have to. Dearly speaks English, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese and Korean. Your headings, your questions and your Sunday letter all come back in the language you chose. Pick it on the very first screen, and change it whenever you like.

YOU SAID MORE THAN YOU REMEMBER (PRO)
Everyone loses the thread of their own life. The thing that's been bothering you since March. The person who comes up every time you're tired. The worry you thought you were over.
 • Threads of your life: the things you keep coming back to, drawn together from what you actually said, with a few written lines about how each one has gone.
 • You close a thread yourself, when it feels settled. Dearly never closes one for you.
 • This month's cast: the people, places and topics that keep appearing in your thoughts.
 • Mood horizon: your month as a painted sky of moods, not a spreadsheet.
 • Open an entry and get a question drawn from its own words. Talk it through, and read back later what you worked out.

THE WEEK GOES BY. SUNDAY, YOU GET IT BACK (PRO)
Once a week, Dearly writes you a letter about the week you just lived. Short, and yours. Every letter is kept, so you can go back to any week you like and meet the person you were in it.

WHAT YOU SAY HERE STAYS YOURS
 • Your voice travels over an encrypted connection purely for transcription, and is never stored.
 • Recordings stay on your phone.
 • Face ID or Touch ID on the whole journal, if you want it.
 • Export everything, or delete your account and all of it, from inside the app.

IT SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE WORK
Serif type, warm paper surfaces, and moods that drift like weather. A place for your own head shouldn't look like a task manager or a spreadsheet. You pick the page you write on: Stone Sage in the morning, Obsidian or Indigo Ink when it's late. Stone Sage is free forever. The other three come with Pro.

FREE AND PRO, HONESTLY
 • Free forever: unlimited voice recording, 10 entries written out a day, your full written journal, biometric lock, and the Stone Sage page to write on.
 • Dearly Pro: threads of your life, your Sunday letter and every letter before it, mood horizon, your cast of people and topics, a question drawn from any entry, three more pages to write on (Rose Quartz, Obsidian and Indigo Ink), and export.

Every Pro feature is free for your first 15 days.

Call it an audio journal, a mood tracker, a mental health diary, or just thinking out loud. Start tonight. Say the things you'd never slow down to write.

Dearly Pro is an auto-renewable subscription (monthly or annual); a one-time lifetime purchase is also available. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions.

### 5/5 — Easy to use voice journal

*2026-08-26*

No need to type again easy to use voice journal and it’s summarize everything and add it to you in a fraction of a second good job

### 5/5 — Wonderful App

*2026-08-25*

I’ve always wanted to journal and haven’t found the right app to get me started. Dearly looks like it will definitely address my needs and wants. It’s voice activated so it lets you put your thoughts down and if you mess up or don’t say things right it allows you to delete and start over once you’ve got your journal entry down it prompts you with other questions to expand upon your thoughts, it also provides you hashtags. Should you choose to make a post on social media addressing your journal entry overall I’m enjoying what I’m seeing.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.9 — 2026-09-17

Write it down

Some days you don't feel like talking out loud. Now you can type an entry instead, right where you'd normally start recording, and it lands on the same page either way.

A real question on your first entry

On your very first entry, Dearly asks about something you actually said, not the same question everyone gets. Small, but you'll notice it.

### 1.4.8 — 2026-09-11

Nothing new to see in the app this time. We refreshed the screenshots on this page so they match what Dearly looks like today.

### 1.4.7 — 2026-09-08

Now in Korean

Dearly speaks Korean. That makes five languages, with English, Portuguese, Spanish and Japanese. Writing gives you time to find the right words. Talking doesn't, and it shouldn't have to. Your headings, your questions and your Sunday letter all come back in the language you chose. Pick it on the very first screen, and change it whenever you like in Settings.

Everything Dearly noticed, on one page

The page where Dearly shows you what it noticed has been rebuilt. Your week and the way it moved now sit together at the top. The things you keep coming back to run in a strip you can swipe through. A letter you haven't opened is marked, so none of them waits there unnoticed. And the moods of your days are now called your skies, which is what they always looked like.

Also in this release

- Continue on the very first screen now shows you it is working
- The bottom of a long page no longer sits under the tab bar

### 1.4.6 — 2026-08-31

Now in Japanese

Dearly speaks Japanese. Choose your language on the very first screen, and change it whenever you like in Settings.

Your first 15 days, said out loud

Everything in Dearly is yours for your first 15 days, and until now nothing ever told you so. It does now, right at the start — and the Pro screen has stopped offering you things you already have.

A reminder, if you want one

While you're setting up you can pick a time for a quiet nudge to talk for 30 seconds. Skip it and nothing nags you. If it can't be set, Dearly says so plainly instead of leaving you to find out later.

What mattered, at the top

Open an entry and the one thing it was really about is now its heading. You can see what a day held before you read a word of it.

Also in this release

- A conversation you talked through can be read back, any time you want it again
- The yearly plan shows what it comes to per month
- The fourteen moods now read in your own language, not in English
- A clearer close button on the Pro screen

### 1.4.5 — 2026-08-26

Threads of your life

The things you keep coming back to are now in one place. When a person, a worry or a hope keeps turning up in what you say, Dearly draws it together into a thread — every time it came up, in your own words, with a few lines about how it has gone. Open threads sit in your Insights.

Threads change. Some stay busy, some rest for a while, and when one is genuinely settled you close it yourself. Dearly never closes one for you. What you close is kept with what you've figured out, so the things you have worked through stop asking for your attention.

Your Sunday letter

Once a week, Dearly writes you a letter about the week you just lived. Short, and yours. Every letter is kept, so you can read back over any week you like. Sunday letters and the full archive come with Pro.

Also in this release

- What you've figured out now has a page of its own
- Clearer type to read, and a calmer look in dark mode
- Getting back from a letter, and moving around your Insights, works the way you would expect
- Tidier spacing at the bottom of every screen
