Patterns beat memory
Some people rewrite the past to fit how they feel today. A mood-aware journal keeps the record honest: sunny streaks, stormy weeks, and the quiet in between, so that your story stays grounded in what you actually lived.
Available for Mac
VoxThermic for macOS
Your mood has a weather pattern
Journaling isn't only about what you wrote last night, but it's about noticing how you feel across days, weeks, and months. VoxThermic turns private voice and text entries into a living map of your emotional climate, all on your Mac.
A great idea: track mood through journaling
One entry is a snapshot. A trail of entries is a story. When you can see how your inner weather shifts over time, you stop guessing how you've been, and start understanding it.
Language becomes signal
Every entry carries emotional weight. VoxThermic reads that weight on-device and turns it into weather labels, themes, and trends you can scan at a glance without turning journaling into a spreadsheet.
Time is the teacher
Seven days shows a rough week. Thirty days shows a chapter. A year shows a climate. Rolling windows make progress visible, and progress is easier to protect when you can see it.
Built for deep work and deeper reflection
A native Mac journal that feels at home next to your browser and documents, and still makes space for how you actually feel.
Timeline
Write it down. Feel it back.
A calm, focused timeline for typing what matters, and then seeing the emotional weather of each entry. Themes like hope and progress surface automatically. Premium on-device reflections turn a raw page into a clearer story of your day.
- Searchable journal with mood filters
- Entry-level weather and theme chips
- Private AI reflections that stay on your Mac
Emotional Weather
Watch your climate change, on purpose.
This is the payoff of consistent journaling: a dashboard that turns days of writing into a sentiment curve you can actually read. Switch 7, 30, or 365 days. Spot the climb after a hard stretch. Export a PDF when you want a record you can keep or share carefully.
- Rolling windows, not rigid calendar boxes
- Keyword themes from your own words
- Click a day on the chart to open those entries
Calendar
A month of feelings, at a glance.
Days colored by your inner weather turn the calendar into something more useful than appointments: a visual diary of sunny, partly cloudy, and stormy days. Jump to any day and open the entries that made it feel that way.
- Month grid tinted by mood
- Quick jump from weather to words
- Mini calendar in the sidebar for daily flow
Voice Orb
Speak when typing feels like too much.
Some moods don't wait for a keyboard. Hit Start Recording, talk to the Orb, and watch a private transcript appear: edited only by you before it becomes a journal entry. Same mood intelligence as text. Zero audio leaving your Mac.
- On-device speech recognition
- Edit the transcript before you save
- Or write instead: same journal, your pace
The full picture
Timeline, weather, calendar, and voice: one private system for capturing and understanding how you feel over time.
Everything you need to stay honest with yourself
Desktop-native journaling with the emotional intelligence of VoxThermic, without renting your mind to the cloud.
Voice + text
Speak to the Orb or write in a distraction-free editor. One journal, two natural ways in, because some days your fingers type and some days only your voice will do.
Mood over time
Charts, calendars, and weather labels turn scattered entries into a climate report of you. Tracking mood through journaling is the point, not a side feature buried in settings.
On-device intelligence
Apple's Foundation Models and local NLP refine scores and reflections on your hardware. Insights without uploading your diary to someone else's server.
Native macOS
SwiftUI, keyboard-first navigation, multi-pane layout, local-only storage. Built for Apple Silicon Macs: the home of on-device Foundation Models.
Your mind. Your Mac.
