## What is Yorishiro?

Write, reflect, and see yourself more clearly.
The more you write, the clearer your patterns become.

Yorishiro is an AI-assisted journal for reflecting on your thoughts, emotions, and actions through daily writing.

In Japan, a yorishiro is a vessel that gives the unseen a place to dwell. This app is a quiet, modern version of that — a space where your everyday words gather until they show you who you are.

KEY FEATURES

• Free-form journaling
Write about what happened, how you felt, and what was on your mind. One sentence is enough.

• Voice input
Speak instead of typing, and your words become text.

• AI journal analysis
AI breaks each entry into what happened, how you felt, what you thought, and how your body felt. Its feedback draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you step back and look at your day without judging yourself. Physical energy and mental clarity scores appear on your calendar, so you can see them shift over time.

• AI rewriting
Have AI polish an entry into the style and voice you prefer, without losing what you meant to say.

• Conversations with AI
Explore an experience or a feeling through guided questions that help you put hard-to-express thoughts into words.

• A personal profile that grows with you
AI turns your entries into a profile of your strengths, tendencies, challenges, and values. On eligible paid plans, it can refresh automatically once a month.

• Strengths and personality assessments
Add your results from any of 11 supported assessments, and AI will factor them into its analysis and conversations.

• Weekly and monthly summaries
See how your emotions and thought patterns shift over time, summarized automatically.

• Insights
Visualize patterns in your emotions, thinking habits, scores, and most-used tags.

• Sync with the web app
Sign in at yorishiro.me with the same account to pick up where you left off on a larger screen.

Yorishiro is for anyone who wants to make sense of everyday thoughts and feelings, notice recurring patterns, or grow more self-aware — through work, relationships, parenting, and the changes life brings.

### 5/5 — 気に入ってます！

*2026-08-07*

すごく使いやすくて課金もして愛用しています。
現状だと直近10件分しかスコア推移が確認できないので、1ヶ月、半年、1年など大きな括りでも推移を確認したいと思いました。
10日分の推移より1ヶ月ごとの方が自分の分析にも活用しやすいし、まとめてみやすいと感じています。
または10日ずつでも良いので過去のスコアも確認できるようになったら最高だなと思っています。

**Developer response:** レビューをいただき誠にありがとうございます。課金までしてご愛用いただいていること、開発者としてとても励みになります。コンディションスコアの推移を 1 か月・半年・1 年といった大きな括りで振り返りたい、また過去のスコアも遡って確認したいというご要望、具体的にお聞かせいただき感謝いたします。長い期間で変化を眺められることは、自分をふりかえるうえで大切な視点だと私も感じており、いただいたご意見は前向きに検討してまいります。これからも安心して書き続けられる場所になるよう、改善を続けてまいります。引き続き、よろしくお願いいたします。

### 5/5 — 間違えて削除したので再投稿

*2026-07-26*

約1ヶ月使ってみて日記を書くのが習慣化出来ました。AI分析のおかげで自分の思考の癖に気付くことが出来ました。
本日から"深める"プランを無料で試すことにしました。かなりいいので課金は継続する予定です。
アプリを作っていただきありがとうございます。
これを読んでいる皆さんもぜひ試してみてください！

**Developer response:** この度は、Yorishiroを約1ヶ月にわたってご愛用いただき、心から感謝申し上げます。

日記を書く習慣が身についたこと、そして AI 分析を通じてご自身の思考の癖に気づくことができたというお言葉は、開発者としてこれ以上の喜びはありません。

深めるプランをご体験いただき、気に入っていただけているとのこと、大変光栄です。今後とも、より一層思考を深めるお手伝いができるよう、サービスの改善に努めてまいります。

### 5/5 — 日記を書くのが楽しみになりました

*2026-07-11*

ただ書いて終わりだった日記が、分析を通して客観的なコメントをもらえるのが良い。
日々の調子もスコアで観察できて重宝してます。

**Developer response:** レビューありがとうございます。
日記を書くことが楽しみになったとのお言葉、とても嬉しいです。
「ただ書いて終わり」ではなく、分析を通して客観的なコメントや日々の調子の変化を見られる点が、お役に立てているようで何よりです。
