For the last eight years, I’ve had a habit that helped me a lot: I would go for long walks and record voice notes to myself in Telegram. Sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes for hours. It became a kind of thinking tool. Speaking freely helped me notice patterns, process emotions, and get unstuck. I’m now building Stem: an audio journal where you can record voice notes or write text entries, then get transcription and AI-generated reflection afterward. The goal is not to replace therapy or a psychologist. It’s more like a structured mirror: it helps surface recurring themes, emotional tone, cognitive patterns, and possible questions to explore. What it does right now: record voice or text journal entries transcribe audio analyze the entry return a psychology-informed reflection help you notice patterns over time I’m especially interested in feedback from people who journal, use voice notes, go on thinking walks, or have tried therapy-style self-reflection tools. I’d also love critical feedback on the framing: how to make this useful without overclaiming, and how to handle privacy/trust well for something this personal.
