About this app

A JOURNAL THAT ACTUALLY GETS YOU
If your life moves faster than light, your self-awareness doesn't have to lag behind anymore. Discover a journal that actually understands you. Just spend a minute a day, and we'll handle the rest!

UNLOCK YOUR BEST SELF
Ever tried keeping a journal but never achieved spectacular success? Or maybe you've mastered the habit but struggle to extract meaningful insights? We've been there too! That's why we created this app.
tellself is your guide through life's twists and turns, understanding that what you talk about matters deeply. We carefully extract information from your voice notes, categorize the important stuff, and illuminate the bigger story of your life.

HOW IT WORKS:
▶ Record Your Thoughts - Spend a minute daily sharing through voice or text about what happened (highlights, meals, sleep, meetings, accomplishments)
▶ AI Analysis - Our smart AI analyzes your current note alongside with previous entries, catching patterns you'd never notice
▶ Personalized Insights - Get specific suggestions like "Did you notice fewer calories affect your energy? Try more complex carbs tomorrow" or "Plan time with your wife this week - what activities bring you both the most joy?"
▶ Life Charts - Track joy, stress, productivity, sociability, and energy. Monitor factors affecting each rating
▶ Comprehensive Reports - Detailed theme reports covering life's most important areas - from joy and stress to rest, work, and meaning
▶ And much, much more - we use our own app and keep developing it constantly :)

WHY TELLSELF IS DIFFERENT:
1. Learns with you - Your feedback shapes everything. We adapt to create an experience tailored just for you (you can tell us what you like and don't like)
2. Change that matters - We turn insights into simple goals that create real change (you can track them too)
3. Zero judgment - Pizza and Netflix day? No problem.
4. Privacy first - bank-level encryption and full control over how your data is stored and processed.

Whether you love journaling or completely avoid it - tellself works for you.
FREE, EFFECTIVE, AND EFFORTLESS JOURNEY TO A BETTER YOU
(seriously, give it a try - you can always uninstall ;))

No data privacy. I am forced to either log in via my Google account or Apple account. This is an amazing amount of tracking and data statistics they'll have access to per their own privacy policy. No wonder there are no ads. They make money off of something more high value: your data and personal info. I didn't even bother to log in and try it after reading the TOC and privacy policy. Perhaps it's useful for some, but I’ll pass.

On the login under “why login is necessary” we explain (filtering fake traffic). We’re not scam app asking for money - we’re here to help people. Before first entry, we show how we process journals. For anyone with trust issues, we recommend using Apple’s masked email. We make $ from subs and glory from helping people - how could we $ from email?😉

This app is the best. No ads, no premium windows. It's VERY chill and good. I also like how simple, clear, cool, great and how good it is. I recommend.

it's still early so I don't know what to say. It's a frustrating start as usual but that's living with massive stroke recovery. This app appears to add little to no value to my life. So that's unfortunate. Some part of me had hope for this application, but pen & paper seems more valuable.

We get it - app needs at least a week to show its potential. The real magic happens with factors and reports on day 6. If it's not valuable by then, remove it. You can add feedback to suggestions (three dots). Tell us what's wrong at the start: support@tellself.com. Great that you're exploring digital alternatives💙 Wishing you a speedy recovery!🌟
