Life Note is an AI journal with 1,000+ mentors. Free to start. Premium is $10.99/month or $99.99/year in the US. Your entries are encrypted and never used to train AI. Write an entry and a mentor inspired by a thinker like Carl Jung, Marcus Aurelius or Steve Jobs responds. Mentors remember your past entries, so each reply builds on them. FREE AND PREMIUM Free accounts get 10 journal entries with a mentor response in the first week, then 3 per week. Premium removes the weekly limit. In the US it costs $10.99/month or $99.99/year. Prices may vary by region. PRIVACY Entries are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before they are stored, and each account has its own key. Staff do not read them.

An optional device lock uses Face ID or Touch ID. What Subscribers Are Saying: "Honestly, as someone trying to make journaling a daily practice, this is THE BEST thing I have come across. I love how tailored the responses are and also the fact that it "remembers" what I wrote in the previous entries. It really feels like my mentor is on this journey with me. I can't wait to journal more and read more of the responses." – Tiffany "Life Note has helped me immensely in overcoming complicated mental and emotional issues." – Faisal "After using it for three months, Life Note has become my favorite journaling tool. Sometimes the feedback from my mentors has been able to stop a negative thought pattern that had been bothering me the entire day. Sometimes they highlight a trend going back months that I may have missed. You will love Life Note!" – Eddie "I think I have just found the most life-changing journaling tool!
