About

Vidlun

Read full description

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 a name for it - which you are always free to change or refuse. Over days the entries become a journal; over weeks, 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 proposes emotion words; you keep yours or adopt its • Every entry lands in a journal you can search and reread • A colour-coded week shows how the days sat together FREE FOREVER Recording, on-device transcription, emotion names, the journal, search, the mood chart and your growing emotion vocabulary. THE WEEKLY NARRATIVE (subscription) Once a week Vidlun reads your entries and writes what it noticed: how the tone moved, what kept coming back, what sounded lighter. Subscribers also get observations on single entries, the week's themes, and recordings up to five minutes. Plans are monthly, yearly, or a single lifetime purchase; subscriptions renew 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. Terms: https://vidlun-legal.pages.dev/terms-en Privacy: https://vidlun-legal.pages.dev/privacy-en
