## What is Voice journal?

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 names for it - which you are always free to change or refuse. Over days the entries become a journal; over months, 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 offers the emotion words closest to what you said: pick one or several, or add your own
• Set the mood on the same card and see what the entry was about - work, family, the gym. Remove any topic that doesn't fit
• Every entry lands in a journal you can reread and filter by emotion
• A colour-coded week shows how the days sat together
• See which emotions came up most each month, and which only rarely
• A minute for yourself: a short grounding exercise for when you want to stop for a moment. Nothing is recorded

FREE FOREVER
Recording up to a minute, on-device transcription, emotion names, the journal and its emotion filter, the mood chart, how often each emotion came up, and the grounding exercise.

THE MONTHLY NARRATIVE (subscription)
Once a month Vidlun reads your entries and writes what it noticed: how the tone moved, what kept coming back, which weeks stood apart. Past months stay in a list to read again. Subscribers also get observations on single entries, the week's topics and patterns, and recordings up to five minutes. The subscription is monthly and renews 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 5 releases)

### 1.6 — 2026-10-24

• One subscription, billed monthly. A yearly plan or lifetime access bought earlier keeps working as before.
• The emotions offered on the card now fit what you said much more closely.
• "Say about yesterday" appears on the home screen as soon as the new day starts, with no need to reopen the app.
• On "Your week", the parts that come with a subscription are now clearly marked.

### 1.5 — 2026-10-21

• A fresh list of emotions: 76 words, all on equal footing. The card now offers the closest ones from the whole list. Your past entries keep the words they had.
• "What stands out" on your week now names what your hardest or best days had in common, and which emotion keeps coming up next to a topic. Tap "See these days" to read those entries.
• The week is now "Your week", with emotions by day at the top.
• "A month ago today" on the home screen stands out from your recent entries.

### 1.4 — 2026-10-14

• Your emotions: see which emotions came up most this month, and which only rarely
• Filter the journal by emotion; the search tab is gone
• Each journal card shows whether the entry has audio
• A simpler question card, without "more precisely?"
• The Face ID lock has been removed

### 1.3 — 2026-10-12

A simpler card, and a monthly read.

• After you speak or type, Vidlun suggests the emotions closest to what you said. Pick them or add your own, set the mood on the same screen, and save in one tap.
• See what each entry was about, like work, family or the gym, right under your words. Remove any topic that doesn't fit.
• The narrative is now monthly. Once a month, Vidlun writes what it read in your entries: how the tone moved and what repeats. It replaces the weekly piece.
• Cleaner screens: one colour for emotions, entries marked by their mood, dates on every week, and a simpler "Your emotions" page.
• Subscription is now the last card in Me.
• Fixed: a journal card could cut off its last line.

### 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.
