What Ava is
A two-minute voice note. A short reflection back.
Most journaling apps give you a blank page and a prompt. Ava gives you a microphone. Talk like you would in the car, alone, on the way home.
Each entry comes back with a short, honest summary — not advice, not a chatbot. Just a mirror you can read tomorrow when the feeling has passed. (Example reflection: “You sounded tired but clear-headed about the week. The decision you kept circling — you already know the answer.”)
How it works
Three steps. About thirty seconds.
-
01
Tap to record
One button. No prompts to wrestle with. Up to two minutes of whatever's on your mind.
-
02
Pick a mood
Happy, mixed, or low. That's the whole taxonomy. Honest beats granular.
-
03
Get a reflection
A short summary written by Claude. Read it tomorrow when the moment has cooled.
Privacy, in plain English
A journal that won't snitch.
Most journaling apps quietly send the things you say to analytics and ad networks. The Ava iOS app doesn't. The rules are short and we wrote them down.
-
Your voice never leaves your phone for analytics.
Audio stays on your device or in your encrypted entry. It is not sent to PostHog, Sentry, or any third party.
-
No journal text. No transcripts. No mood-as-identity.
We don't ship the words you wrote, the words you said, or your moods to analytics services. Ever.
-
We publish the exact list.
Read what we collect — and don't — in plain English. If it's not on the list, it doesn't leave the device.
Note about this website: Like most marketing sites, this landing page uses standard web analytics (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel) to understand which ads are working. That's separate from the Ava iOS app, which has none of the above.
Built by one
One person, no growth team, no investors.
Ava is built by one developer who needed something honest. There's no engagement team optimizing your retention against your interests. No data brokers in the loop. Just an app that tries to be useful and gets out of the way.
Join the early list.
We'll email you when Ava launches. One message, then quiet.
