What Fond does
A journal that remembers, so you don't have to
Speak in a sentence. Fond does the keeping — transcribing it, remembering your people, and finding the days worth looking back on. That's voice journaling: you talk, and the writing takes care of itself.
Ask it anything
"How often did I see Emily this month?" Ask, and get an answer drawn from your own words — with the entries it came from.
Say it in a sentence
Tap once and talk, or type a line. One sentence is plenty — Fond transcribes every word.
It remembers your people
Mention someone and Fond keeps them. Months later: "how's Emily been lately?" — and it knows.
It never forgets a birthday
Say a date once; the big days come find you, long before you'd ever remember them.
Time-travel to a random Tuesday
Old entries resurface when you least expect it. Turns out past-you was kind of wise.
Nobody reads this but you
Your journal is yours. Analytics are content-free, deletion is one tap, and nothing is ever sold. Ever.

It stays yours
Fond is where you're honest with yourself. We built it so it stays that way — we literally can't read your entries.
- We literally can't read your journal. Analytics are content-free — actions and counts, never your transcripts, names, searches, or questions. Session replays are fully masked — all text, images, and audio are blocked on your device, so your journal never shows up in one.
- Encrypted in transit. Everything moves over HTTPS; session tokens live in your device keychain.
- Leave whenever — one tap wipes everything, for real. Remove a single entry, or your whole account and all its data, instantly.
- Never sold. Your content is used only to give you the app's features. No ads, no selling, no training on your journal.
