A quiet place to write every day — and a journal that stays yours. TODAY'S PAGE The app opens on the day, not on a dashboard. A fresh prompt each morning if you want one, the date as the heading, and your mood signed at the foot of the page. LOOK BACK THROUGH IT • Search everything you have ever written. The search runs on this device — the words never leave it. • A calendar of your months: the days you wrote are marked by your mood, or by the photo you attached that day. • Trends: how the months have gone, worked out from your own entries. No AI call, nothing sent. • Tags you choose, and the weather where you wrote, if you want them. • "On this day" brings back what you wrote a year ago. YOURS TO KEEP Save the whole journal as Markdown or plain text at any time — readable, printable, and yours. Back up to your OWN GitHub or Google Drive; restore on another device whenever you choose. There is no subscription that can lapse and take your writing with it. A WEEKLY REFLECTION, WITHOUT READING YOUR WORDS Once a week you can ask for a gentle reflection on how your writing is going. It is built only from WHEN you wrote, how often, and how long — never from the text itself. ASK IT, OR SAY IT Write by talking: start a live call and speak the day's page, or type it as always. You can also ask your own journal a question — "what was I worried about in March?" — and it answers from your entries. That is the one thing that sends your writing: only when you ask for it, only the entries needed to answer, and Oriora doesn't retain it. It can also keep a note, or the conversation itself, in your own GitHub or Google Drive. WHAT THE APP KNOWS Your entries and photos live on this device. Location is only ever read if you tap "Add weather", is rounded to about a kilometre, and stays with the entry on your phone — it is never sent to Oriora, and never to the AI. You sign in once with your Oriora account; AI features are billed from your Oriora wallet. No ads, no tracking, no subscription. — Built by Oriora Labs · orioralabs.com
