While you talk, dyeary listens for how you felt. Every entry carries its mood, from joy to calm to tired, sensed from your words and the sound of your voice. Over time your days paint a picture: the people, places, and things you keep coming back to, and the feelings tied to them. WHAT YOU GET • Speak an entry in about a minute. dyeary writes it, cleanly, in your voice. • Mood sensing on every entry, with the moments that carried each feeling. • Reflections: the subjects of your life, gathered automatically.
