Council is a private iOS journal. Write or speak an entry, then convene a small council of ten archetypal inner voices — the Critic, the Caretaker, the Rebel, and more — that each read what you wrote and reflect it back from their own angle. They don't advise, don't remember, and your writing stays encrypted on your phone.

Spent an evening journaling with this and the Caretaker voice genuinely caught me off guard with how tender its reframing felt, without ever telling me what to do. Really like that it all stays on-device too.

@kayraupf5 thank you, this made my day. The Caretaker was the hardest one to tune. Warm voices slide into giving advice so easily, and I wanted it to stay with the feeling instead of fixing it. Glad it felt tender and not preachy. And yeah, still feels a little unreal to me that it all runs on-device.

The voice concept sounds genuinely useful for breaking out of your own head. One thing I'd love is a way to save a specific reflection from a voice that really hit me, maybe as a little highlight pulled onto a separate "stones" screen, so I can come back to it later without re-reading the full entry. Would feel like a curated scrapbook of my own wisdom over time.

@znursemq Love this idea. Being able to save the one line that really hit you, without re-reading the whole entry, makes a lot of sense. A little collection of things worth coming back to. I'm noting "stones" down. Can't promise timing as a solo dev, but it's something I'd use myself. Thanks for this.
