Hey everyone! I originally made this as a telegram bot that I could use for myself! I found it very useful so I made this for everyone to use! I hope you use it, to me it's really useful and helps my mental health and wellbeing. I wish I could have made it free, but of course the OpenAI API is not free... If the pricing changes I'll definitely change the prices :) Who knows, maybe in the near future we can switch to an on-device LLM and stop paying completely! I'm happy to give away some* free trials manually, so just reach out if interested. Thanks!

@albert_c Your initiative to share a tool that helped you with mental health is awesome. Understandable about the OpenAI API costs, and it's great that you're open to giving away some free trials. Looking forward to exploring it and maybe a future with on-device LLM

I've been using Seren for a while now, and honestly, it's way more than your average journaling app. It's like having a personal coach tucked away in your phone. The prompts get you thinking deeper than you'd expect, which is super cool for understanding yourself better. Plus, I love the privacy aspect – I can spill all my thoughts without worrying. What really stands out is how Seren gives you these spot-on insights. It's like it knows exactly what you need to reflect on. The design is sleek, and navigating through the app is a breeze, making journaling something I look forward to every day. For anyone trying to get a better handle on their thoughts and life, Seren's a game-changer.

This looks nice! How exactly did you implement the high privacy?
Albert C
@lrueger Outside of the basics, like HTTPS, TLS and tokenization, the entries & messages you send to the backend are encrypted and only decrypted (in an isolated service) the moment just before sending them to OpenAI (and OpenAI has their own privacy policy that we adhere to). The amount of data decrypted is the minimum required so that OpenAI can give a proper response, therefore there's no PII (Personally identifiable information) whatsoever anywhere.

@albert_c Just installed it. Nice user experience and onboarding you have there. The lock feature is great. I'll use it for a couple of days and give some feedback! Congrats on the launch again!

Going to give this a try, team Seren: AI Chat Journal. Looks interesting.

This app sounds really great! Can you explain why I don't find it in the Google Play Store of my Xiaomi Phone? I would really love to try it.
Albert C
@caros I still need to wrap up the translations for Android and then I will enable the release in all the countries! I hope to manage to finish it this week :)
Caroline Schmidt
@albert_c Oh, cool, thank you! I'll check again next week then. :)

The app looks awesome and super smooth and polished! Which is the tech stack behind it (client and backend) if you can share @albert_c ?
Albert C
@bberastegui Thanks :) Simple but reliable stack! React native in the frontend and fastAPI in the backend.

I have been using the app for a few days now, great initiative! πŸ‘ Interesting that you can choose different personalities to 'talk with'. The tags are a practical way to summarize the journal entry. Another detail that I appreciate is the dark mode, as journaling is mostly something I do at night, combined with the soothing UI. Best of luck with the launch! ✨

Hi Albert - congrats on the launch! I just checked out the app store listing and I love the serene non-kitschy look. I wish there were more apps like this! Will definitely check it out as well - super important space! Congrats again!
Kostya Doronin
Congratulations on the launch. Where does it get insights from? Does it use what you upload into it, or does it utilize additional sources?
Albert C
@kostyadoronin Exactly, the more you talk to it, the more it knows!
