Chat Yourself vs Ocren

Turn a conversation with yourself into time to think. Chat Yourself gives you a chat space for your own ideas, feelings and questions. You write both sides of the conversation. Follow a thought at your own pace and try a different point of view. Keep a journal, work through a question from work or study, brainstorm an idea, or write dialogue for a story. Keep conversations separate by topic and write on either side of the chat to explore different perspectives. Attach photos, web links, files and locations. Search saved messages and choose whether to display dates and times. Write and save your own summaries, then read and edit them later. Export conversations as PDFs to save on your device or print. An optional Premium subscription includes ad removal and an app lock. Start with whatever is on your mind.
