Dayora is an AI-powered journaling app that helps users understand themselves better through daily entries, mood tracking, and AI insights.
Key capabilities:
- Every journal entry receives a reflective response to what was written, not a lengthy analysis or dashboard, but a few short lines of text, with the length and form automatically adjusting based on the length of the entry.
- Voice journaling: when you don't feel like typing, tap the orb to speak and record. Voice journaling is 3 times faster than typing and is a free core feature.
- AI memory: the app quietly remembers some facts from your journal entries to avoid asking repeated questions. These memories are always editable and deletable.
- Mood tracking: with one tap, mark the day's mood on a five-level scale (from Rough to Great), no writing required; you can view mood changes across the year and discover patterns.
- Your Circle: automatically identifies the people mentioned in your journal entries and shows how you feel around them. There is no friend graph or invitation mechanism.
- Periodic reviews: every fifth journal entry, Dayora looks back at the previous fifty and points out recurring themes; 6 to 12 hours after a heavy journal entry, it sends back a question worth thinking about; after a heavy day, the next morning you receive a three-part letter containing a reflection, today's focus, and a closing note.
- Reflect conversation: engage in reflective conversation with AI (included in the free core).
- Deep Self Reports: long-timespan, detailed interpretations of your entire journaling history, with every observation quoting and linking back to your own journal entries.
How to use: Register an account on the official website to use it. During initial setup, you need to choose the interface language yourself from 12 languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch, Polish, Indonesian, Japanese, German, Italian, Finnish, Ukrainian); the device will not preselect one; you can change it at any time in "Profile → Language." The journal language is not limited to that list; content written in other languages will be read and stored in the original text, but replies use the language you selected.
Pricing model: The core features are free forever, no credit card required, no trial period. Free content includes: unlimited journaling, a response to every journal entry, mood tracking, voice journaling, Reflect chat, Your Circle, and AI memory. Plus is an optional paid tier that adds voice calls, a daily morning summary email, Deep Self Reports, and relationship stories for people in your Circle; each account, after being established for 14 days and having ten journal entries, can receive one complete 30-day report for free, while longer periods (90 days, one year, orall) of reports belong to Plus. Plus includes about 20 minutes of call time and one report per month; see the pricing page for current prices. The free core is not reduced because of Plus, and there are no ads.
Use cases: Suitable for people who want to use journaling for self-reflection, mood tracking, and anxiety logging. It can be used to record daily thoughts, discover recurring patterns, track feelings in relationships, and get a structured review after a heavy day. The official description states that it is a wellness tool and cannot replace professional mental health care.
Limitations and privacy: Other users cannot see your journal entries, and journal entries are not sold. Journal content is sent to the AI providers that write the responses, and these providers may use it to train and improve models; Dayora itself does not train its own models. Who on the team can read journal entries, the other services involved, and what deleting an account removes are all explained in the privacy policy. The official statement says voice journaling belongs to the free core; voice calls belong to Plus. In Deep Self Reports, observations that cannot be verified against the journal content verbatim are discarded. Regarding the specific boundary between the free core and Plus, the official statement says free features are "free forever," and Plus is an add-on layer that will not move existing free features behind a paywall. If these descriptions change, the pricing page and privacy policy page will be updated first.
