Just text Romi like you would a friend. "Had curry for lunch", "Walked 5,000 steps", "Went to bed late again" — Romi sorts each message into your diary so you can confirm it with one tap. No forms, no blank pages. ◆ Chat to Log Your diary looks like a messenger. Send a message and Romi turns it into entries: meals, mood, sleep, steps, purchases, notes and more. You check them in a list before they're saved. On devices with Apple Intelligence, Romi also chats back. The AI runs on your device. Tap the mic to speak instead of typing, or send a photo to save it as a photo entry. ◆ Alarms Just text "Wake me up at 7:00 tomorrow" or "Wake me at 6:30 every day" and Romi sets the alarm. Repeat every day or on weekdays, and pick a gentle song if you like. When you stop it, Romi says good morning. ◆ Mina, Your Secretary Ask Mina for today's summary, a look back at your week, or tomorrow's plans, or tell her a plan to add. She answers from your own entries. Free for everyone. ◆ Keyboard: Log From Any App Type as usual in Messages, Notes or anywhere else, switch to the Chat Journal keyboard, and tap "Log with Romi". The next time you open the app, Romi sorts it for you to confirm. On devices with Apple Intelligence, the keyboard can also polish what you wrote: make it polite, make it casual, or proofread it. The keyboard never connects to the internet. Full Access is only used to pass your note to this app on the same device. ◆ 13 Log Categories Memo, Mood, Photo, Steps, Sleep, Purchase, Meal, Exercise, Weight, Reading, Water, Medicine and more. Import steps, sleep and weight from Apple Health with a tap. ◆ A Timeline You'll Want to Reread Your days flow into a timeline with morning, afternoon and evening bands, photos and a monthly calendar. ◆ Plans & Lists Keep plans with reminders and repeat schedules, save books and movies you want to see, and collect songs, links and notes in your lists. ◆ Meet Romi Your cat companion has 43 expressions and speaks 35 languages. Earn badges for streaks and milestones, and listen to 26 built-in songs or your own music while you log. ◆ Free to Start No account needed. Your entries sync across your devices with iCloud. Use 7 categories for free, or unlock 11 or all 13 with a one-time purchase.

The call
