Tired of chatting with a know-it-all? Meet the bird. Lorebird is a next-gen journal & chat: an AI friend who remembers what you wrote — and turns a two-minute chat into tonight's entry. ——— DON'T FEEL LIKE WRITING? JUST TALK. Tell the bird about your day like you'd text a friend. It asks the questions a friend would — then writes the entry from your own words. One tap to keep it. Your words, tidied — never invented. NOT ANOTHER CHATBOT Answer machines lecture. A friend asks. Lorebird has read your journal, so it picks up where your life left off — the trip you took, the interview you were nervous about, the recipe you finally got right. No cold starts, no small talk. FORGET NOTHING. ASK ANYTHING. "Find my photos from the Hawaii vacation" "When does the milk in my fridge expire?" "What did my doctor say about my knee?" "How was my mood last month?" Lorebird reads your text, photos, and voice notes, then answers in plain language. No tags, no folders, no manual organization. IT KEEPS TRACK, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO The dentist on Friday. The spare key you moved. The gift your mom hinted at. The bird carries them back to its Nest: plans, dates and things to remember, lifted out of what you write and say, all in one place. It asks before crossing anything off, and never rewrites what you wrote yourself. SAY IT. SNAP IT. SEARCH IT. Photos are captioned by AI — receipts, places, and expiry dates become searchable. Voice notes are transcribed word for word. Every entry is anchored to its time and place automatically. A JOURNAL YOU'LL ACTUALLY OPEN Rich text with photos, voice, and location on a warm timeline — beautiful enough to write in daily, smart enough to remember for you. ——— WHO IT'S FOR • Anyone with 10,000+ photos they can't search • Parents documenting their children's growth • Travelers building a searchable archive of experiences • Writers and thinkers building a personal second brain • People who journal for clarity, not just nostalgia • Anyone who'd rather not hold it all in their head • Anyone tired of journals that never talk back ——— WHY LOREBIRD IS DIFFERENT Classic journals store what you write — retrieval is on you. Notes apps make you organize everything by hand. Generic AI chat answers, then forgets you by tomorrow. Lorebird writes with you and remembers FOR you. The more you capture, the smarter it gets. ——— YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL Your entries are stored privately in your own account, encrypted in transit and at rest. We never sell your data. AI features are powered by OpenAI, Anthropic and other model providers — none of your data is used to train these models. ——— LANGUAGES English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese ——— Lorebird is free to download and use. Optional premium features unlock more AI usage and additional capabilities. Subscriptions auto-renew unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
