Your video journal, transcribed on your iPhone. Nothing goes to us.

A journal you talk to
Journaling by typing asks you to compose. Journaling by talking just asks you to show up. Tell Anew records short video entries, transcribes them on your iPhone, and titles them from what you actually said.
Transcripts are free, on every entry, kept forever. Transcription runs on the device itself.
Your entries are yours whether or not you pay. Viewing, playing, exporting and deleting always work.
Time capsules. Seal an entry with a date and it comes back on the day you chose.
What reaches us: nothing
- Your videos
- Stay on your phone.
- Transcripts
- Made on your phone.
- Your account
- There isn't one.
- Analytics
- None, in the app or on this site.

- Only to your own iCloud, and only if you turn it on.
Check it yourself
- Turn on airplane mode, then record, read the transcript and search. It all still works.
- Export your whole journal from Settings, any time, for free. You get one zip file. Inside, each entry has its own folder with the original video or audio, a subtitle file (.srt), and a data file (.json) with the date, title, and full transcript. Time capsules stay sealed until the day they open, so they're left out until then.

What people have said
I love the app so far. It's getting me out of my comfort zone a bit since I don't like doing recordings.
Great video/audio journal which enables you to add entries in seconds.
The transcript quality was great and I didn't expect that.
Might be easier for me to do since I overthink when trying to write in a journal.
Awesome app, love the layout and the character in the corner. The prompts at the top are such a great way to get you thinking and maybe even about things you wouldn't have naturally thought about. The one app I keep coming back to for journaling and to get some feelings out. Absolutely love it.
The search feature that jumps straight to the moment you said something is really clever. Great concept for a journal!
Awesome UI and great quality of transcription.
The character you added above the button to go to your journal is awesome and cute.
the zip detail makes the no-account promise much more believable.
