About Life Written
Life Written is a journal for recording your life one day at a time. Open the app and just write. Add a photo, and the day’s weather is saved automatically. When you’d rather speak than type, tap record and your voice is transcribed into text — with a live meter so you can see it’s listening. When you want a little help, optional AI is one tap away: • Clean up — gently fixes grammar and smooths your words while keeping your voice. • Storify — reimagines your entry in a style you choose: a cozy storybook, a nature documentary, a screenplay, a gratitude reflection, newspaper headlines, a bedtime story, and more. Make it yours: • Choose serif or sans typefaces and your preferred text size. • Attach photos from your library or camera. • Export your whole journal to PDF or Markdown anytime. Private by design: • AI is strictly opt-in. The app is fully functional with AI turned off, and nothing is sent to any AI provider unless you choose a feature that uses it. • Voice recordings are sent only to be transcribed and are never stored — only the resulting text is saved, and only if you keep it. • No ads. No trackers. We don’t sell your information. • Delete any entry, or your entire account and all its data, right inside the app. Sign in with Apple or Google, and your journal syncs securely across sessions. Record the memories as they happen.
