Some days you just need to say it out loud.
MindDrop is a voice journal that turns a minute of speaking into mood patterns you can actually see — and keeps every word on your device.
How it works
No prompts. No templates. You talk; MindDrop listens on your device and shows you what it heard.
01
Tap the mic and talk for 30 to 120 seconds. Say whatever is on your mind — the messier the better.
02
Your voice is transcribed and analysed locally with Apple's frameworks. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
03
Watch mood shift across days and weeks. The longer you talk, the more your entries mean together.
Features
Speak naturally for 30 to 120 seconds. MindDrop transcribes with on-device speech recognition, so the barrier between you and your thoughts stays low — especially on the days writing feels like homework.
The whole point is to lower the cost of showing up. One tap, one minute, no blank page.
Local natural-language analysis reads the emotional tone of your words and returns a mood score, a label, and an optional reflection. The processing happens on your phone.
Your transcripts, your mood tags, your insights — stored locally, exportable whenever you like.
See how you felt across days, weeks, and months at a glance. The heatmap surfaces stretches you'd never notice day to day.
A single entry is a snapshot. Thirty days of entries is a pattern worth knowing.
A personalised report each week: emotional highs and lows, the patterns behind them, and a quiet suggestion for the week ahead.
No streak guilt. Just a steady, private record that gets more useful the longer you keep it.
The difference
Most journal apps ask you to type into the cloud. MindDrop does the opposite.
