Inlet vs Nuju

Inlet is a private, AI-driven journaling assistant for recording and recalling personal experiences. It offers short daily prompts, and voice entries become editable text before saving. Entries can include photos or videos up to 30 seconds. Inlet can turn notes into diary entries using only what the user wrote, without adding events or feelings. Memory tools include quizzes based on a user’s entries and a living summary of what matters to them. Users can set aims and keep notes; both are marked beta on the welcome page. Groups can see when members are active, while entries are shared only when the author tags people and chooses to share. Inlet says data is stored in an encrypted database, photos in secure object storage, and app secrets separately. The service is available on web and iOS, with Android in open testing. Its free plan costs nothing and includes writing, prompts, aims, and day summaries.

Nuju is an AI journal and mood tracker for quick emotional check-ins, written or spoken journaling, and reflections on patterns over time. Users can log mood and energy, write an entry, or speak when typing feels difficult; an AI reflection responds to what they wrote. Nuju also surfaces repeated moods, habits, and moments, and offers four coach styles: Gentle, Wise, Tough, and Fun. The product is a progressive web app installable on iPhone, Android, or desktop, with iOS listed as a mobile app platform. Nuju says entries are encrypted at rest and separated through end-to-end account isolation. It also says personal journal content is not used to train general-purpose AI models and personal data is not sold. Users can request access, correction, export, or deletion of their data; account deletion removes associated data within 30 days unless law requires longer retention. The Free plan includes one personal reveal, a 10-second mood check-in, and three saved entries. A 7-day trial is listed.
