What it is

Dayora is a journaling app that responds to entries with a summary, an insight, and a suggested next step. Users can speak entries for transcription and reflection, or use Reflect to explore an entry or start a conversation informed by journal context. Entries can include mood and energy records, with trends available over time. The free plan includes Your Circle, which tracks people and relationship context from journal entries. Journals can be exported as JSON, PDF, or Word. The app can be set to 11 languages, and entries may also be written in other languages. Dayora says journal content is sent to OpenAI for reflections, and OpenAI may use that content to train and improve its models under Dayora's data-sharing agreement. Dayora says journal text and account records are encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256. The free plan includes unlimited journal entries, voice journaling, transcription, and Reflect chat up to 300 messages a day. Plus costs $9 a month; its founding price is $6 a month until 1 November 2026. Plus voice calls are capped at five minutes each and ten calls per day, with about 20 minutes included monthly.

Dayora in depth

Read the full write-up

Overview

Dayora is an AI journaling app for people who want structured reflection on their writing, not just a place to store it. Its free plan is unusually capable, though the use of OpenAI to process journal content makes privacy terms central to the choice.

Entries can prompt a summary, insight and next step; users can also speak entries, track mood and energy, and explore journal context in Reflect chat. That combination suits people who want help noticing patterns, but is a poor fit for anyone unwilling to share personal writing with an AI provider.

Key features

Reflections and conversation

Dayora responds to entries with a summary, an insight and a suggested next step. This gives a journaling session a clear point of reflection, particularly useful for writers who want a nudge beyond recording events. Reflect chat can discuss an entry or start a conversation with context from the journal, which makes the app more suited to ongoing exploration than to private, unassisted writing.

Guided prompts and personalized insights add structure for users who sometimes struggle to begin or interpret an entry. The free plan also includes a 30-day Deep Self Report after 10 entries; Plus adds one report each month. These reports provide a periodic look back, while the entry-level reflection is the more regular part of the experience.

Voice, tracking and export

Users can dictate entries for transcription and reflection, and record mood and energy alongside them to view trends over time. Voice is useful when typing is inconvenient, but Plus calls are limited to five minutes each and ten per day, with about 20 minutes included monthly. Your Circle, included in the free plan, tracks people and relationship context from journal entries, extending the app's pattern-tracking beyond mood.

Journal export is available in JSON, PDF and Word, a practical safeguard for readers who want a copy they can keep or move. Dayora can be set to 11 languages, and entries may also be written in other languages.

Privacy and security

Dayora sends journal content to OpenAI to generate reflections, and OpenAI may use it to train and improve its models under Dayora's data-sharing agreement. Dayora says journal text and account records are encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256. Those encryption claims do not remove the stated sharing and training terms; users writing about highly sensitive subjects should weigh them carefully before starting.

Pricing

The freemium plan costs nothing, billed Forever. It includes unlimited journal entries, voice journaling and transcription, Reflect chat up to 300 messages a day, and one 30-day Deep Self Report after 10 entries. This is a substantial starting tier for people who want to try AI-supported journaling without a subscription; it does not include Plus's monthly report or daily synthesis email.

Dayora Plus (founding price) costs $6 a month, billed Monthly, with that price available until 1 November 2026. Dayora Plus costs $9 a month, billed Monthly, at the standard price after 1 November 2026. Both include about 20 voice-call minutes monthly, one Deep Self Report monthly, a daily synthesis email, and limits of five minutes per call and ten calls per day. Plus fits users who want recurring reports and the email synthesis, though its call allowance is modest.

One Extra Deep Self Report costs $4, paid once; purchased reports do not expire. Extra call minutes cost $6 as a one-time purchase for 30 minutes, and purchased minutes do not expire. These one-time purchases suit occasional needs better than upgrading solely for an extra report or a little more voice time. There is no free trial.

Platforms

Dayora runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web and Windows. Despite supporting mobile platforms, it has no mobile apps; readers should not assume native Android or iOS software.

Who it's for

Dayora is best for people who want prompts, entry-based feedback and help tracking personal patterns, especially those who value voice input, mood tracking and export options. It is less suitable for users who want an offline or strictly private journal, or who do not accept the stated OpenAI data-use terms.

Pros and cons

Pros: The free tier combines unlimited entries, transcription, chat and a report after 10 entries, so readers can explore the core experience without paying.

Pros: Mood and energy trends, Your Circle and exports in three formats support reflection and keeping a portable record.

Cons: Journal content goes to OpenAI, which may use it to train and improve its models under the data-sharing agreement; encryption does not change that trade-off.

Cons: Plus voice calls are tightly bounded by a five-minute per-call cap, ten calls a day and about 20 included minutes per month.

Cons: There are no mobile apps, despite Android and iOS being supported platforms.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, see AI Journal Apps. Rosebud is another freemium option, with a free plan and a free trial. Stoic is worth considering for guided journals, reflections, exercises, mood and habit tracking; it also offers a free plan and trial. Yorishiro has a free tier with 10 AI analyses and three AI conversations per month, making it a fit for users who prefer explicit monthly AI allowances. Mindsera offers a free plan and trial, with a paid Genius plan at $14.99 a month. Reflection may suit readers looking for unlimited private entries, prompts, reminders and imports and exports on its free tier. Nuju has a free tier that saves three entries and includes a mood check-in, useful for trying a more limited journaling routine. Auricle offers unlimited free entries and an AI follow-up question; its paid plan is $2.99 a month. Reflectly is another freemium journaling option.

Verdict

Choose Dayora if you want a generous free journaling companion that turns entries into reflections and helps you follow moods, energy and relationships over time. Its main reason to choose it is the breadth of those tools without a subscription; its main reason to look elsewhere is that journal content is shared with OpenAI under terms that may allow model training.

Verdict

Dayora pairs journal entries with reflections, mood tracking, and conversation based on journal context. Before using it for sensitive writing, consider its stated OpenAI data-sharing terms alongside its encryption claims.
