Hi PH Community – I wanted a simple journal app that helps me reflect and prioritizes privacy – so I built one.

Please share feedback!

If I switch Dottie to a premium model, does any journal text ever leave the device, or is everything still on-device? The choose-your-engine and personality modes feel super thoughtful. A short threat model plus export and hard delete would make the privacy story easy to trust.

Pretty cool, I built something similar for the Desktop.

@remi_hudson Thank you! Where can I find yours?

@bjoern2000 https://www.frankllabs.ai/ I didn’t release it, could get the right feeling, I was seeking using SLM’s.

Cute little app! Would you ever consider adding export functionality? Or what that go against the philosophy?

@wilco_kruijer1 Thanks for the feedback! I do currently support export as json, css, markdown and pdf. Full control and ownership overall data for my users is key.

Lmk if you have any more feedback or Qs!

congrats on the launch! do we know if Apple Intelligence will always be on device? It may call models on the cloud some day?
Björn

@jasonge27 Yes, it probably will. I expect it will be user choice and also for calling models in the cloud, there will be lots of privacy built-in I assume. I am looking forward to Apple rolling out Gemini because what they have now is pretty bad.

I’m a big fan of the minimalist approach! How does it handle messy or longer dictations? I love the idea of just speaking my mind and having an AI clean it up for me. Is it already available for all languages, or is it optimized for English only? Congrats on the launch!

@valeriia_kuna Thank you!!

Exactly, that is how I use it. I just mumble about my day and then AI cleanly summarizes it.

I am using iOS 26 SpeechTranscriber for dictation (runs on-device and is free) and to be honest, I am not sure what languages it supports, but I tested with English and German. I could switch to ElevenLabs or some other fancy API but that would add cost and also go against the privacy principle.

Feel free to share more feedback or Qs!

All the best with the launch! Curious to know how AI is helping here? Is it with respect to some patterns, moods?

Björn

@mustassim Yes, patterns, mood, external perspective. It's not for everyone though. But I know lots of people that already use chatGPT to reflect on various things.

been seeing more and more local first hyper personal AI app and Dottie is for sure one of the most useful one I guess!
