About Jia Journal
Jia is a private journal for the thoughts that do not fit neatly into a template. Type freely on a continuous ruled page, or tap Talk it out and speak your mind. Your words become a journal entry you can return to, shape, and understand over time. WRITE THE WAY YOU THINK Jia is designed to feel less like a text box and more like a real journal. Write on a calm ruled page that scrolls with you. Start with a sentence, a long reflection, or a thought you do not fully understand yet. No rigid templates. No pressure to make it sound polished. When writing feels too slow, use voice. Talk naturally and let your thoughts land on the page as text. AI THAT HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WROTE Jia uses AI that works inside your journal page, not another chatbot to keep up with. Here is what it actually does: • While you write, it can leave a short note beside your words — a question worth sitting with, or a gentler way to read what you just said • Ask it for a second perspective on your entry, any time, right on the page • When you finish an entry, it can point out what seemed to matter most • Over time, it notices themes that keep coming back across your entries It never rewrites your words and never takes over the page. Use it every day or not at all — the journal works fully without it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your journal is personal. Jia is built around that. Your entries are stored in your own iCloud, not on our servers. Voice journaling is transcribed entirely on your device. You can journal offline. The AI reads your words only when you use an AI feature, to generate that one response; your entries are never stored on our servers. Jia is made for reflection, not surveillance. MAKE IT YOURS • Type on a continuous ruled journal page • Speak your thoughts with voice journaling • Flip back through past entries with Lookback, your journal's memory lane • Roll for a daily prompt when you need a starting point • Build a streak by showing up consistently • Pick the cover and feel of your journal • Bring in the AI when you want deeper reflection FREE TO START The core journal is free: writing, voice, prompts, streaks, and your full history. Jia Plus unlocks the AI companion; notes beside your writing, questions that go deeper, end-of-entry takeaways, and the patterns it finds across your journal. Your journal should feel like one.
