How do you keep a voice journal?

A voice journal app lets you journal by talking: spend two minutes on what happened, how it felt and what you want to remember. Try it with the microphone above — the first 2 minutes of any entry are free here. Longer entries and a daily habit live in Kalpa on iPhone and Apple Watch.

Questions and answers

Is my voice journal private?

On the web, your journal audio is deleted right after the transcript is made, the text is kept for 24 hours so the same recording isn’t processed twice and then deleted, and Kalpa does not use it to train models. In Kalpa, your own recordings are transcribed on your iPhone.

Is the voice journal free?

The first 2 minutes of any journal entry are free here, and the Kalpa app is free to start.

Can I search old journal entries?

Kalpa keeps every journal entry as text, so you can search old entries — or ask “when did I last feel this stressed?”

Can I journal in my own language?

You can keep a voice journal in any of 25 languages, including Polish, Croatian and Ukrainian, detected automatically.
