Sona turns what you say into a clear summary, emotion insights, and a simple next step — without typing, formatting, or prompts.
Dump the mental noise, then get a clean "what this means" in seconds.
No templates, no perfection. Just talk — Sona organizes the rest.
A gentle nudge you can actually do today — not a 10-point plan.
If you think faster than you type — or you're too tired to write — this is built for you.
Founders, parents, clinicians, creators — people who need clarity fast.
When emotions are real but hard to name, Sona helps label the pattern.
Micro-reflection that supports better choices without "self-help overload."
A simple loop you'll actually repeat.
1 / Record
Talk for 30 seconds or a few minutes — whatever feels right.
2 / Transcribe
Your audio becomes readable text (no extra work).
3 / Insights
Themes, emotion tags, and "what this reveals."
4 / Nudge
A small action or reflection question for today.
Built for calm, not complexity.
Tap the orb, talk, done. No prompts required.
Understand what you're actually feeling — not just what happened.
Small next steps that reduce overwhelm and create motion.
Save or share your reflections and insights when you want.
Spot recurring themes over time (stressors, relationships, habits).
Gentle prompts based on what you said — not generic templates.
The first AI-powered voice journal designed for clarity, not content consumption.

Unlike typing-based journals that take 30+ minutes or meditation apps that provide one-way content, Sona combines the speed of speaking with the intelligence of AI analysis. In the time it takes to type three sentences, you could complete an entire voice journal entry and receive personalized insights.
Your thoughts are yours. While other apps may use your data to train AI models or show targeted ads, Sona keeps your entries completely private. We use AI to analyze your patterns for you—never for training or advertising.
We know you're busy. That's why Sona works the way you think—naturally, through speaking—and gives you actionable insights in minutes, not hours.
