Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm thrilled to introduce Reverie, a journal that calls you every day! The hardest part of journaling is, well, *actually* doing it! It's easy to lose a notebook or "forget" to open a journaling app. The second hardest part is knowing what to write about, and making your words flow. Reverie solves both! Every day, at a time that you choose, you'll receive a phone call - something that takes an active effort to ignore or decline. When you answer, Reverie will say hello, perhaps ask about something in your day, and then leave the floor to you and your thoughts. No need to say anything profound or eloquent; a simple stream-of-consciousness is all that Reverie needs to transcribe and format your thoughts into a beautiful journal entry. Reverie turns journaling from a chore into an almost meditative exercise. How It Works - Daily Call: Receive a scheduled phone call from Reverie every day at your preferred time. - Speak Your Mind: Simply talk about your day, thoughts, or feelings for up to 10 minutes. - Reverie Magic: Your spoken words are transformed into a structured, formatted journal entry. - Review & Reflect: Access, edit and browse your entries Features: 🗓️ Flexible scheduling to fit your lifestyle 🔒 Secure dashboard to protect your thoughts 🎧 Recorded calls for future listening - a daily audio record of your voice for you and your loved ones 🏷️ Intelligent tagging for easy exploration of your entries 📤 Simple export options To celebrate Reverie's launch, I'm giving 50% off your first month of Reverie - simply use PH50OFF at checkout. Otherwise, feel free to sign up for a 5-day free trial to give Reverie a try. I can't wait to see how Reverie helps you tell your story, day by day, and call by call. -- PS: Reverie was inspired by a website I discovered right here on ProductHunt about 10 years ago - Call Frank. It was a free service that lasted for a couple of years and called you every day; it gave you 60s to talk about your day. It was the only period I journaled consistently. Many thanks to Call Frank for the inspiration :)

@noahlittle Just the other day I was searching for a journalling app where I can speak my thoughts. Great one. Would have been great to see a limited feature freemium plan as well. Any plans to introduce it in the future?

@msnkarthik Thanks! It's tricky to have a fully free plan because there are not insignificant costs associated with it; it makes true phone calls which can be costly when there's a per-minute cost and they're every day. With that being said, I'm definitely thinking about a once-weekly version or something to allow for a free plan!

@noahlittle as someone who journals every day, this is a pretty neat idea

🧐 Good find

I signed up for the app. None of the links work when I received the welcome email. There's no support anywhere on the page. I requested a link to reset my password and when I clicked on the link the password reset did not work. I'm in a 5-day trial and I can't even use the app because I cannot log in. I had high hopes but I am quite skeptical at this point.

@rick_benz Both issues have now been fixed (an issue with email templating) - I appreciate your patience and for sharing those bugs! Please reset your password again to get a fresh link, and it should all be working. Do let me know if you find any other problems to address - I appreciate you giving Reverie a shot :)

@noahlittle I reset my password. That part is fixed. Thank you. After I log in there's nothing I can do. I was under the impression that I could write or speak a journal entry. However, there's absolutely nothing to do. Am I missing something?

@rick_benz Glad it’s fixed! And yes - you add your entry by answering Reverie’s phone call! You can schedule your calls from the settings popup; if you want one right away, just change the time to a few minutes from now. Otherwise, you can set when you’d usually like to get a call and it’ll call you then! The dashboard is for viewing, editing and downloading entries once you’ve made them. Try scheduling a call, talk about your day for a bit, and wait a minute or so until Reverie’s processed it. Then check your dashboard!

Great concept.. the act of writing is a huge barrier to most people who would benefit from journaling. Even "stream of consciousness" journaling takes getting used to. Sounds like Reverie solves the activation problem for journaling as a whole. @noahlittle is there an easy way to answer the call and reschedule it for a later time (in case we're busy when we get the call)?

@sepnorouzi Exactly! It changes the active process of choosing to journal into an active process to ignore/decline the call and *not* journal. Right now, the easiest way is to temporarily change your call time on the dashboard, but I'm working on a feature where you can text Reverie and say "Call me in 30" or something to that effect and it'll reschedule the current day's call.

💡 Bright idea

@noahlittle got it, and you could probably coarsely / easily validate the need for "call me later" by checking what % of scheduled calls are unanswered. I suspect that if > 20% of calls are unanswered, it would be worth it to consider "call me later" as a feature. Another alternative that would give higher signal: text message ahead of the call to confirm/cancel/reschedule. There are a few trade-offs there but worth considering.

Can this be used as a voice activated exercise journal with a templated entry form... or is it more for discussing thoughts, observations, feelings, etc. ???

@noahlittle I absolutely love this idea but my concern is that if the app is choosing my prompts for me, it might not be as inspiring or timely. Is there a way to choose my own prompts or themes? Thank you!
