About Sotto - Private Voice Journal
Sotto - Your Life, In Your Own Words
Most journaling apps fail because writing is work. Sotto removes that friction entirely.
Press record. Speak naturally. Done.
Sotto captures your voice, transcribes it privately, and turns your words into structured journal entries - complete with reflections, mood tracking, and full-text search. No typing. No chatbot. No pressure.
──────────────────────────
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
──────────────────────────
Your memories belong to you - not to advertisers, not to a feed, and not to a habit loop.
• All journal entries are encrypted on-device using SQLCipher
• Choose Accurate mode: transcribed via Groq's Zero Data Retention infrastructure - audio is never stored or used for training
• Choose Offline mode: transcription runs entirely on your device using Vosk - your voice never leaves your phone
• No ads. No behavioral tracking. No selling your data.
• Local usage stats stay on your phone unless you choose to share feedback.
──────────────────────────
HOW IT WORKS
──────────────────────────
1. Tap and hold the record button
2. Speak freely — a thought, a memory, a frustration, a win
3. Release. Sotto processes your words in the background
4. Your entry appears in Memories — cleaned up, tagged, and reflected upon
Switch apps immediately after recording or lock your phone. Sotto saves the recording first, then processes it safely in the background.
