Hi, I'm Chiero, the maker of Hodoku. I built it for the moments when a conversation or a work problem keeps replaying in your head, but you do not yet know how to describe what is bothering you. You can start with a short entry, respond to an AI prompt, and edit the takeaways in your own words. Weekly and monthly reviews help you revisit what you have written. Guided themes cover work, relationships, and overthinking. The product is currently in Japanese. Email sign-in is available; a ChatGPT account is not required. The first 7 entries are free with no card and no automatic paid conversion. Plus is JPY 2,980 per month. There is also a free three-question worksheet at https://hodoku.chiero.jp/tools/t.... It needs no sign-up; text stays in the current page and is not saved or sent. You can copy your own notes before closing it. I'm particularly interested in feedback on the first-entry experience and whether the review flow gives you a reason to return. You do not need to share the contents of your journal. Hodoku is a journaling tool for adults, not a human counseling or clinical service.
