Most journaling apps forget everything the moment you close them. Calmplot remembers — connecting what you write today to what you felt weeks ago, so the patterns in your life finally become visible. A JOURNAL THAT REMEMBERS Calmplot keeps your entries connected instead of stranded. Mention someone often and it links the entries they appear in. Over weeks it surfaces the themes you keep returning to, and how a relationship, a decision, or a mood has shifted over time — the connections that are hard to see from inside them. ASK YOUR JOURNAL With AI turned on, ask your journal a question, like when you've felt most like yourself, and get an answer drawn from your own entries, with the lines it used. THOUGHTFUL AI REFLECTIONS Calmplot turns each entry into a simple reflection or follow-up prompt to help you notice what stands out and keep writing. It is designed for journaling support, not advice or treatment. VOICE OR TYPE IN 30 SECONDS Skip the blank page. Speak or write a quick entry whenever something feels worth capturing, whether that's during your commute, before bed, or between meetings. PATTERNS, MEMORIES, AND REVIEWS Over time, Calmplot helps you spot recurring themes, revisit meaningful moments, and review wins, challenges, and changes across your weeks. YOUR LIFE AS A GARDEN With AI turned on, each entry is matched to the parts of life it touched: Work, Health, Friends, Family, Growth and Fun. Your garden shows them, and nothing in it wilts when you take a break. No guilt-driven streaks. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your entries are encrypted before storage. AI features only run with your permission. We request zero-retention processing and do not allow public-model training. TINY ACTIONS When it fits, Calmplot suggests one small next step based on what you've been reflecting on, so insight can turn into follow-through. FEATURES • Long-term memory across your entries • Connections between the people and themes you write about • Ask your journal a question, answered from your own entries • AI reflections after each entry • Go Deeper prompts while you write • 30-second voice and text journaling • Mood tracking and emotion tags • A garden view of your six parts of life • Weekly reviews and pattern summaries • Full export anytime Start with one entry — your garden is waiting. Calmplot offers a free plan plus optional paid upgrades for additional AI features, voice time, and deeper reviews. Pricing is shown in the App Store and may vary by region. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in Account Settings after purchase. Calmplot is a journaling and reflection app. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you are in crisis, contact emergency services or a crisis helpline.
