The full story
Solous treats a journal as a conversation with oneself. Entries can label the emotion speaking, and the writer can return months or years later to reply. The maker built it in their free time with Claude.
The app includes tagging, search and uploads, with optional end-to-end encryption described by its maker. A public example journal uses fictional entries to show the interaction without signing in. Optional encryption requires setup; the public example contains fictional data.
