The journal that writes itself

Omonoki means 'tree of thoughts'. It's the most natural way to capture your day. Journalling with Omonoki is a real conversation. Omonoki calls you at a pre-agreed time to talk about your day. Your reflections are distilled into an illustrated diary entry you can come back to any time. Journal entries are end-to-end encrypted for absolute privacy. Start today with a 7 day free trial.

  1. Omonoki

    Hello Cindy, this is Omonoki. Ready to talk about your day? Are you over that cold yet?

  2. You

    For sure. Feeling so much better now. Actually went out. First time in days: took Bella to the little park. You've never seen a happier dog. I feel bad having kept her in so much while I was sick. She was barking like crazy at the ducks. No-one else was around so it was fine. Except with the ducks of course.

The most natural way to capture your day

Why conversational journaling

Journalling is a discipline but it shouldn't be a chore. Omonoki helps overcome the most common barriers people face in starting and maintaining their journalling simply through the power of conversation.

    Finding the time

    Traditional journalling depends on you finding the time and space every day - adding a new habit and sticking to it. Omonoki takes care of a big part of that challenge by calling you at times you decide in advance. A few minutes talk is all it needs to capture your day fully.

  • Sitting in a window

    Remembering it all

    Pulling the threads of your day as you write can be exhausting. Our minds just don't work like that. Omonoki uses the most powerful tool for recollection we have - a free flowing conversation. Let the things which matter surface naturally and Omonoki will untangle it all.

  • Writer in repose

    The right words

    Even great writers can struggle to find the right words for complex feelings and events. After each conversation, Omonoki composes a journal entry using everything you have talked about, but doesn't slavishly transcribe your words. Nothing is invented, just interpreted and refined.

Under lock and key

with end-to-end encryption

Safe from prying eyes

All your journal entries and Omonoki's continuity memory files are end-to-end encrypted using secret keys stored on your personal device. This means that even we cannot read your journal entries and we have no means of decrypting them. Omonoki uses the same methods as WhatsApp, Telegram and other highly secure messaging tools to ensure what's private to you stays that way.

Illustrated for you, and with you

Drawn from life

Omonoki can generate a unique illustration for each journal entry to highlight key events of your day. Sometimes these will be abstract, mood capturing art, but they could also be stylised scenes from your conversation with Omonoki. You get to choose the artistic style from classic anime to bold stroke of oil painting, comic book sharpness or gentle watercolour.

Common questions

Voice journaling queries answered.

Is my journal private?

100%. All your conversations with Omonoki are end-to-end encrypted, using similar techniques to WhatsApp and Telegram. The decryption key is held on your device, meaning even we can't look at your conversations with Omonoki. If our database were ever compromised, your journal still cannot be read without the secret key which only you have.

What does it cost to use Omonoki

Everyone gets 7 days free to try Omonoki. After that, to continue with journalling conversations, we charge a simple monthly, quarterly or annual subscription. An annual subscription saves you around 1/3 on the monthly price for daily journalling conversations

Do you sell my data?

Absolutely not. We have no interest in doing so and will not grant access to any third party unless required to do so by law enofrcement proceedings in a competent jurisdiction. Even if we did, because your journal is end to end encrypted and we don't have the key, your most private information is beyond the reach anyone except you.

Can I delete my journal?

Yes, any time - just log in to the app on web or mobile, go to your Journal settings, and select the delete option.

Can I change the illustrations or text?

Yes, in the journal you can request a new image for your journal entry up to three times per entry. You can edit the text manually as well.

Can I call Omonoki rather than wait for a scheduled session?

Yes. You can initiate a session at any time in the apps on web or mobile. Scheduling is completely optional

Does Omonoki remember things about me?

Omonoki maintains a small memory file about you based on your earlier entries, to help bring continuity across sessions. These files are also end-to-end encrypted like your entries themselves, and are never stored in plain text.

Do you record my voice?

No. We steam the audio directly to our voice transcription partner as it is received and don't store it ourselves. None of the audio is retained by them or us.

Does Omonoki use AI?

Yes, Omonoki is entirely AI and compute based. No humans are involved in the conversations, writing or illustration stages. We use US and European based models only, chosen specifically to ensure security and privacy, particularly non-storage of your data and no use of the information for model training.

A real conversation. A beautifully written entry. Yours, forever.
