Shiroは、心の余白を整えるためのセルフケアアプリです。 「うまく言葉にできない気持ち」「整理がつかないモヤモヤ」「誰にも話せないけれど、自分の中では確かにある感情」——そんな日常の心の動きに、Shiroはやさしく耳を傾けます。 対話・日記・瞑想・思考整理・性格分析・詳細レポートを通して、あなた自身が自分の感情に気づいていくことを、Shiroは静かにサポートします。診断や治療を目的としたものではなく、毎日のセルフケアを習慣として続けるための、静かな伴走者です。 【主な機能】 ▼ 対話と分析 あなたの言葉に、Shiroが応答します。アドバイスを急いだり、決めつけたりはしません。あなたの感情の流れに沿って、自分の言葉で気持ちを言語化していくプロセスをサポートします。 ▼ Shiroのカスタマイズ Shiroの性格や口調、アバター、名前まで、あなた好みに変えられます。対話を重ねるほど、あなただけのShiroになっていきます。 ▼ 日記 書きたい日は詳しく、書けない日は気分タップだけでも。音声入力にも対応しています。あなたのペースで記録でき、後から見返すと、自分のパターンが見えてきます。 ▼ 思考整理 認知行動療法の考え方をベースにしたツールです。ネガティブな考えに囚われたとき、それを書き出して、別の視点から眺め直す。「考え方のクセ」に気づくことが、心を軽くする最初の一歩になることがあります。 ▼ 瞑想・呼吸 呼吸に集中する、短い時間。何も考えない時間を意識的に作ることも、心のセルフケアのひとつです。 ▼ 朝の気分チェックイン(任意) 朝、その日の気分を選ぶだけ。気分の記録は、後のふりかえりの材料になります。 ▼ おやすみ前のルーティン 眠る前に、その日の気持ちを整理する短い時間。落ち着いて1日を締めくくれます。 ▼ Shiro の性格読み解き 32 の質問、または Shiro との対話から、16 のタイプであなたの傾向を読み解きます。普段の会話や日記の言葉から見える傾向も、あわせて見られます。(公式の MBTI® 検査ではありません) ▼ 書籍のおすすめ Shiroが、今のあなたに合いそうな本をおすすめします。読み終わったら「読んだ」マークをつけて、次の本へ。 【Premiumプランの機能】 ▼ Shiroが覚えている あなたが大切にしているテーマや感情の流れを、Shiroが対話の中で自然に思い出します。日々の対話が積み重なるほど、Shiroとの時間が深くなっていきます。「覚えている」内容は、いつでも自分で確認・編集・リセットできます。 ▼ 週に一度の心のふりかえり 日曜日に、その週のあなたの感情の流れがまとめられて届きます。1週間を一歩引いて眺める時間を、自分のために。 ▼ 詳細な振り返りレポート 日々の対話・日記・気分の蓄積を、より深く分析したレポートが見られます。 ▼ 性格読み解きの詳しい解説 タイプごとの 11 の観点から、あなたの傾向をくわしく読み解きます。 ▼ コーチへの相談 プロのコーチに相談できる導線をご用意しています。 【プライバシーへの配慮】 ・対話や日記、Shiroが「覚えている」内容は、すべてあなたの端末内にだけ保存されます ・記憶やふりかえりのデータを、いつでも自分の手で確認・編集・削除できます ・心理的に脆弱な内容は、ふりかえりレポートの入力から構造的に除外される設計です ・必要なときには、よりそいホットライン等の専門相談窓口を案内します 【Shiroの設計思想】 ・急かさない — あなたのペースで使えるアプリ ・決めつけない — あなたの感情はあなたのもの ・覚えてくれる — でも忘れることもできる ・静かに寄り添う — 通知で押し付けない Shiroの対話とふりかえりには、NVC(非暴力コミュニケーション)の考え方が土台にあります。この枠組みに興味のある方も、そうでない方も、自分のペースで使えるようになっています。 毎日の生活の中で、自分の心とのちいさな対話の時間を。Shiroは、そのための余白を作ることを大切にしています。 【サブスクリプションについて】 Premiumプランは自動更新のサブスクリプションです。期間内であれば、いつでもApp Storeから解約できます。料金や期間の詳細は、アプリ内の購入画面でご確認ください。 【利用規約・プライバシーポリシー】 利用規約:https://www.yohaku.company/terms プライバシーポリシー:https://www.yohaku.company/privacy

■ Even the things you could never tell anyone, you can say here, anytime. Something feels off, and you cannot say why. You made the decision, and you are still second-guessing it. You are working hard, and it still does not feel like enough. Often the reason is simple. The values you actually choose by have never been put into words. Notes that talk with you is an AI coaching notebook. One question arrives each day, you write what comes to mind, and your own values start to take shape. It works the same way for love and compatibility. It is built on values research that has been tested across 49 cultural groups and 53,472 people (the theory of basic human values by the psychologist Shalom Schwartz). From that work we organized our own set of 8 value axes, so you can see where you stand today. ■ What you can do - Notes (daily) A prompt arrives every day. Three lines is plenty. The AI replies quietly to what you wrote, so the reflection goes a little deeper. - Works Guided sets that move one step at a time, in conversation with your coach. Your answers stay in your notes. The free plan starts with 3; more unlock as you keep writing. Hanasu+ (formerly Notes+) opens everything from the start. - Values map Your values, drawn as an eight-color radar chart. The eight axes are Growth, Challenge, Contribution, Connection, Stability, Integrity, Joy, and Freedom. The more you write, the more the AI grows the map out of your own words. - Values quiz (3 minutes, free) Ten questions show the shape you are in right now, with one of 16 values characters. The quiz is a seed. From there, your own words grow it into a real map. - AI coach When you are stuck, tell the coach. It knows your values and helps you sort out your thinking. It is not there to hand you answers. It is there to help you notice the ones already inside you. - How you two relate Show a QR code, and someone close to you can take the quiz too. Two maps on one chart, with hints for how to relate. ■ Start with just a name No account. No email address. Type the name you would like to be called, and you can start today. ■ Hanasu+ (paid plan) For those who want to go further, there is a paid plan called Hanasu+. - Coach conversations: 5 a day on the free plan, 30 a day on Hanasu+ - The coach's mind: on Hanasu+, a deeper-thinking AI replies - Works: 3 to start on the free plan, more unlock as you write; all open from the start on Hanasu+ The values map shows all eight axes on the free plan as well, and it updates every time you write. For the first week, you can try every paid feature for free. Hanasu+ is a monthly plan. Prices are shown on the purchase screen in the app. Subscriptions renew automatically, and you can cancel anytime from your store account settings. ■ This may fit you if - You cannot find your own footing, and living by other people's keeps wearing you out - Journaling has never stuck for you (one line is fine here, and the question gives you somewhere to start) - You want to understand yourself better, for a job search, a career change, or a look back at your work - You want to put words to the thing that has been bothering you - You are curious about coaching, or about coaching yourself - Your thoughts keep you awake at night - Talking things over with people does not come easily to you - You are highly sensitive and tire easily - Counseling feels like a big step to take - There is no one you can say the honest thing to - You want to put your values into words - You have been trying so hard that you are tired ■ Not a substitute for medical or professional care This app does not diagnose or treat. If difficulty with your mind or body continues, please talk with a doctor or a qualified professional. When you see your values, you can choose your days. So: one question, for the you of today. ―――― Operated by Rin, Inc. Privacy Policy: https://rin-connect.com/app-privacy-en/ Terms of Use: https://rin-connect.com/app-terms-en/
