Loom - A journal that reads your mood and reflects it back

by•
Loom is a journal that actually reads what you write. No mood scales. No emoji grids. You write — Loom detects your emotion and shifts its visual atmosphere to match. Calm turns teal. Joy glows warm. Anxiety pulses. After you write, an AI companion reflects with you, notices patterns, and asks questions a good friend would. Weekly insights surface themes you kept returning to. Built by a solo dev. Private by design — entries never leave your device unencrypted. Free (30 reflections/day). iOS.

Hey everyone 👋 I'm Boran, a solo iOS developer from Turkey. I built Loom because I've tried a dozen journaling apps and none of them felt like they were actually listening. They all wanted me to rate my mood on a scale or pick from emoji grids. That felt mechanical — the opposite of why I journal. So I built something different. Loom reads what you write using AI, detects your emotional state, and shifts its entire visual atmosphere — colors, light, motion — to reflect how you feel. Then it can reflect with you, like a conversation with someone who actually read what you wrote. A few things I'm proud of: - Six distinct mood atmospheres that change in real-time as you write - AI reflections that feel present, not robotic - Weekly insights that surface patterns across your entries - Everything private — entries stay on your device This took 9 weeks to build, 3 App Store rejections to ship, and one mass all-nighter to get the IAP metadata right 😅 I'd love your feedback. What would make you actually stick with a journal?
