Journaling has proven mental health benefits, but many people struggle to maintain the habit. Voice journaling removes the friction and unlocks deeper expression.
Why Voice Journaling Works
- Lower barrier: Speaking is easier than typing
- More natural: You think in speech, not text
- Deeper reflection: Speaking accesses different thought patterns
- Faster expression: Capture more in less time
Getting Started
- Set a daily time (morning coffee, evening wind-down)
- Start with 2-3 minutes of free-form speaking
- Transcribe to text for searchability
- Optionally review and reflect on patterns
Prompts to Try
- "What's on my mind right now is..."
- "Today I'm grateful for..."
- "Something I'm struggling with is..."
- "A small win today was..."
- "Tomorrow I want to..."
Privacy Matters
Your journal contains your most private thoughts. Local transcription ensures these stay on your device, not on some company's server.
