Thoughts move fast.
Just Yap.

JustYap is a voice-first journal for the thoughts that feel too messy, too quick, or too tiring to write down. Record or type what is on your mind, then come back to an editable transcript, a clear summary, and the patterns that build over time.

Start free with text journaling and two voice Yaps. No ads.

The Yap Loop

Get it out. See it clearly. Keep what matters.

A lighter way to journal when a blank page feels like work.

1

Say it messy

Talk naturally, pause when you need to, or type instead. No polished sentences required.

2

See it clearly

Review and edit your transcript, then keep a concise summary of the thread underneath it.

3

Return to the bigger picture

Moods, categories, Weekly Recaps, and Monthly Chapters help recurring patterns stand out.

More than a recorder

A journal that gives something back

Capture the moment quickly, then make it easier to understand and revisit.

Weekly Recaps and Monthly Chapters

See themes across your entries without rereading every Yap. Revisit what shifted, what repeated, and what deserves attention.

Moods and categories

Add a feeling and a few topics to each Yap so your journal becomes easier to search and understand over time.

Backup and export

Keep an optional backup in your private Google Drive app-data folder and export entries when you want a copy outside the app.

Built for reflection

Voice Memos saves audio. Notes saves text. JustYap connects the thought.

Notes and voice recorders

Useful places to capture something, but the work of organizing and revisiting it stays with you.

  • Raw recordings or blank pages
  • Manual organization
  • Easy to forget after saving

JustYap

Designed around the whole reflection loop, from speaking freely to noticing what returns.

  • Voice and text in one journal
  • Editable transcripts and summaries
  • Moods, categories, recaps, and chapters

Privacy, explained plainly

Your journal is personal. The architecture should respect that.

We describe what happens to your data in operational terms—where it is saved, when it leaves your device, and which provider handles it.

Read the Privacy Policy

Your saved journal is local-first

Entries, recordings, transcripts, summaries, moods, and categories are stored in the app on your device.

AI processing is limited to the feature you use

Audio or journal context is sent through secure backend functions to transcription or summary providers only when needed to deliver that feature.

Backup is optional and under your Google account

Google Drive backup uses the private app-data folder. JustYap cannot browse the rest of your Drive.

Analytics excludes journal content

Sanitized product events help improve the app. Journal text and audio are filtered out of analytics.

Questions, answered

Before you start Yapping

What is a voice journal?

A voice journal lets you capture a personal entry by speaking instead of writing. JustYap turns a recording into an editable transcript and summary you can revisit.

Can I type instead of recording?

Yes. Voice is there when writing feels like too much, but text journaling remains available whenever you prefer it.

Is JustYap therapy or a mental-health service?

No. JustYap is a personal reflection tool, not a therapist, medical device, crisis service, or substitute for professional care.

Where is my journal stored?

Saved journal content is kept locally on your device. Content needed for a requested AI feature is securely processed by service providers. Optional backups can be stored in your private Google Drive app-data folder.

Does JustYap show ads or sell journal content?

No. JustYap does not show ads and does not sell your journal content.

What can I use for free?

You can type journal entries and begin with two voice Yaps, each with a transcript and summary. Premium unlocks ongoing voice journaling and the full reflection experience.

What if I miss a day?

Nothing breaks. JustYap is designed to be returned to, not to punish you for an imperfect streak.

Start with one thought

When writing feels like too much, just talk

Your thought does not need to be polished to be worth keeping.
