hear me out.

Talk through your day.
Keep it in your own voice.

Anyhoo is a voice journal with a friend who listens. Say it out loud, keep your words and your recording, and talk it through whenever you need to. Only you will ever hear it.

How it works

Just talk. We'll keep it.

No blank page, no prompts to fill in. Open the app, tap the orb and say whatever's on your mind.

1

Say it out loud

Talk about your day the way you'd tell a friend. Anyhoo writes it down word for word, swearing and all.

2

Keep it, really keep it

Your words and your actual voice recording are saved together, so you can hear how you felt, not just read it.

3

Talk it through

Want to chat about it? Your Anyhoo friend listens, remembers your life and talks back, out loud if you like.

Your words, untouched

Word for word. Never polished.

Your journal is for you, so Anyhoo never rewrites, softens or "cleans up" what you said. It's your day, in your words.

  • Voice-to-text as you speak
  • Type instead whenever you'd rather
  • Quiet typo fixes, nothing more

Sam cancelled on me again. I'm not even mad, just tired. Anyway, the new café on Queen is actually so good, I'm going back Saturday.

Keep your voice

Hear how you really felt.

Most journals throw your recording away once it's typed out. Anyhoo keeps it, so years from now you can press play and hear yourself on that day.

  • Every entry keeps its recording
  • Replay any day, any time
  • Every recording unlocked with Anyhoo Plus

A friend who listens

Not a therapist. Not customer service. A friend.

Talk it through with a calm, real friend who reacts to what you actually said, remembers the people in your life, and follows up next time.

  • Talks back out loud in a natural voice
  • Remembers names and what's going on
  • Pick up old entries where you left off
Oh, that's amazing, congratulations! The salon in New York actually said yes. Have you told anyone yet?
No, you're the first 😭
Honestly, I'm honoured. How are you feeling about the move itself?

Moods & streaks

See your month at a glance.

After each entry, swipe to how you feel. Your moods fill a little calendar, and gentle streaks help you keep the habit, with rest days built in. No guilt, ever.

  • Five mood blobs: happy, normal, gloomy, sad, angry
  • Monthly mood calendar
  • Two rest days a week that don't break your streak

Private by design

Only you will ever hear it.

A journal is for the person who wrote it. Your entries aren't shared, sold or used to train anyone's AI, and the friend only sees what you choose to talk about.

FAQ

Things worth knowing

Who can read or hear my journal?

Only you. Entries are private to your account, encrypted, and never shared, sold or used to train AI.

Does the AI read everything I write?

Only when you choose to talk an entry through. Then the friend sees that entry so it can chat with you about it. If you never tap "Talk it through", it never does.

Is Anyhoo a therapist?

No. Anyhoo is a journal with a friendly AI to talk to. It isn't a medical or mental-health service. If you're ever in crisis in Canada, call or text 9-8-8 any time, or call 911 in an emergency.

What happens to my recordings on the free plan?

Your written entries are kept forever, on every plan. On Free you can play your last 3 months of recordings. Older recordings aren't deleted: they're locked and kept safe, and they unlock the moment you join Plus.

Can I just type instead of talking?

Of course. Talking is the easiest way in, but you can type any entry, and quietly-fixed typos are the only change we make.

When is the app coming?

Anyhoo is coming to iPhone and Android. You can try the demo in your browser today.

What happens if I cancel Plus?

Plus keeps working until the end of the period you paid for, then you get a 30-day grace period with everything still unlocked. We'll remind you 7 days before it ends so you can download anything you'd like. After that, recordings older than 3 months are locked (not deleted), and they unlock again if you come back. Your written entries are never deleted. Read the full terms.

Anyhoo, how was your day?

Tap the orb and tell someone. Even if that someone is future you.
