There are very few products for which I’d be genuinely sad if I could never use again. Rosebud is one of them. When I tried out the beta, I had a daily journaling practice and thought “I’ll give it a try, but I’m not going to change my routine”. After that first session, I had to use it again. And by the end of the week, it had entirely replaced my daily journal and became a new habit. What I love about the experience is being able to share anything and everything that is top of mind and having Rosebud highlight intriguing details to explore further. Something that I didn’t realize was really bothering me would become much clearer after a prompt from Rosebud. Everyone has moments when they need to vent, to unpack their emotions, to acknowledge areas of personal growth, and to engage in introspective reflection. This is best done in a safe environment with a supportive and reliable guide. For me, that's what Rosebud represents. @ChrysB @SeanDadashi: What have your other users found Rosebud to be helpful for?

@seandadashi @andrewjiang Thanks Andrew! We continue to be moved by your feedback, along with the many stories of transformation we're hearing from Rosebud users around the world. A few months ago, we got curious about whether AI could be used to help us better understand ourselves. Around that time I had just picked up a new nightly journaling practice following the Rose-Bud-Thorn framework, and wondered whether AI would be capable of analyzing our journals and providing useful feedback or guidance. Sean and I have both had the privilege of working with therapists and coaches over the years and experienced the benefits of being able to process our thoughts and emotions with someone who was gracious enough to hold space for us. We quickly began to see that advanced LLMs could be incredibly effective at assisting in self-reflection and saw a profound opportunity to make this type of experience accessible to the world. We are touched by our community's stories of personal growth, and overcoming challenges like grief, anxiety, and ADHD through Rosebud. Many find it more beneficial than therapy, offering effective help to overcome mental and emotional obstacles. One member said it well: "I’ve not only discovered a powerful journaling platform but a genuine partner on my journey to wellness." The long-term vision for Rosebud is to become a leading platform for personal growth. A place where you can build self-awareness, identify the goals that matter to you, and work with AI to continuously reach your personal and professional goals. We envision a future where everyone has the support they need to thrive, no matter their circumstance. We’d look forward to hearing from the Product Hunt community!

I've been using Rosebud and impressed with how intuitive its prompts can be. It elicits the same kind of questions as my therapist, haha. @chrysb and @seandadashi – what's been the biggest surprise or learning so far?
Sean Dadashi
@chrysb @rrhoover Thanks for the question! A big surprise for me has been seeing the range of people that have been deeply impacted by Rosebud so far. Everyone from college students to recent retirees have shared moving stories with us about how Rosebud has helped them find clarity, overcome challenges, and generally improve their mental and physical well being. It's the type of impact both Chrys and I had hoped for when creating Rosebud so we're grateful to see that it's coming to fruition.

I personally love apps like this, but I’m biased since I’ve built Sensive.xyz But this looks promising, love it, keep up the hard work.

I've been using Rosebud for about a month or so now and I love it! I only broke my streak one day. I love that it asks me thoughtful questions about my journaling, because I often don't know what to say, so it helps me dive deeper, and then gives me a good summary of what I've been working through and honestly puts it into better works than I can! I love the weekly summaries too, helping me notice trends and what's going on in my life. I also think what seprates this from other tools is the ability to capture "action items" from my journaling. I've never seen anything else do this, but after i write an entry, I can view suggestions, and it will let me "manifest" them (which basically means add to a do list). And I can tell that having reminders to incorporate things that tend to bring me joy has been really helpful for my mental health!

I recently had the pleasure of exploring the website Rosebud.app, and I must say it has proven to be an incredibly helpful and insightful platform. From the moment I landed on the website, I was struck by its clean and intuitive design, which immediately made me feel at ease. Navigating through the platform was a breeze, and I found myself drawn with the thought-provoking question prompts. These prompts acted as a catalyst for me to dig deeper into the root causes of my issues and concerns. I was pleasantly surprised by the level of clarity I gained while pondering these questions. It was almost as if I had a wise mentor guiding me through the process of understanding my thoughts and emotions. The platform's ability to help me unravel complex emotions and situations is truly commendable. It enabled me to see my challenges from various angles and allowed me to reframe my perspectives. As a result, I could gain valuable insights into the issues that had been bothering me.

Journalling has been an extremely powerful tool to have in my toolkit. Finally - a truly software-powered journalling experience (not just a paper journal on a screen!).
Aliza Cuevas
Great product for people who likes to jot everything down like myself. Kudos and congrats on the launch!

I have been using Rosebud for a few weeks and it has greatly improved my journaling and my reflections. They got it right in allowing you to write as you want, but providing optional prompts that help you get started or go deeper into your thoughts. The prompts and the reviews help me write more expressively, which will help in all areas of writing.

Rosebud is the perfect example of how AI can be used to improve people's life beyond the usual productivity enhancer. I'm really excited to see this out in the public, it's truly a game changer for personal growth.
