Our story

Journal

Start where you are

A gorgeous, minimal private journal for getting things off your chest. One never-ending page, with today at the bottom and your whole story scrolling upward. Just open it up and start writing, whatever's on your mind.

Guide

Then go deeper

Not a simple chatbot. Your Guide is one ongoing conversation with someone who remembers you over time, draws on approaches inspired by psychology research, and stores every word under zero-knowledge encryption. Each message you send travels through our AI proxy to our AI provider, and is never stored or logged along the way.

One memory

It all comes together

Journal, Guide and Paths aren't three separate tools. What you write, what you talk through, and what you're working on all feed one private memory, so you never have to explain yourself twice. Your journal joins in only if you turn it on, and that memory is stored encrypted with your key.

Today was rough. Taking a minute to appreciate the good. My cat, Georgie. I love her. My friend Jono, who brought me cookies.

Privacy

Fort Knox-level encryption

This website is everything I've wanted in an online journal. Super cute and easy-to-use layout, an aesthetic that keeps me coming back. It's the whole package. 100/10. I adore KindMind!

Not a big fan of sentimentalism but I can't even explain how much KindMind has helped me. Reading other people's deepest feelings has brought me big comfort when I have felt lonely. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for this app and its users. Thankful for the community.
