"I started using Rosebud when I was at one of my lows but now I’m climbing toward one of my highs" — Male, age 25–34

What if you could have an unbiased and supportive ally that’s always in your corner and always in your pocket?

Research shows 1 in 4 Americans feel they have no one to confide in, and when they do share, most people hold back how they’re really feeling. While professional care is an option, it remains out of reach for a good portion of Americans due to cost, availability, and the stigma associated with it.

With the help of AI, we can now offer an accessible and affordable platform for processing our thoughts and emotions privately, on our own terms, and with consistent results.

Meet your new personal ally: Rosebud.

Powered by OpenAI, Rosebud is an introspective daily journal that provides personalized feedback and guidance as you write. It's like having a conversation with a mentor who really gets you and keeps your best interest in mind.

As Rosebud gets to know you - your life, your goals, your challenges, your relationships - it evolves beyond a journal and into an active partner in your personal growth.

Each journal entry is summarized and reflected back to you with key insights, mirroring your own unique wisdom, and helping you feel understood. Based on your writing, Rosebud can also help you identify meaningful goals, reflect your patterns in weekly summaries, and provide a steady supply of personalized prompts to keep you unstuck.

Rosebud is a free web application that can be added directly to your Android, iPhone, Mac or Windows home screen. For $4.99/mo you can unlock advanced voice transcription, personality insights, long-term memory, and more great premium features.

A stress-free & safe space for expression

With Rosebud, you can open up about anything without fear of judgment or other social consequences.

Given what you share can be very personal, we make it a priority to keep your journal safe, secure, and private. We’ll never sell your data or read your entries, and your data remains safely backed up in the cloud, encrypted in transit and at rest.

Furthermore, OpenAI implements rigorous safety and privacy measures, ensuring its AI models like GPT-4 provide supportive and non-harmful responses while maintaining user data privacy, minimizing the risk of misuse or inadvertent distress in mental health contexts.

"This is really helping me with grief from my husband’s recent and sudden death. I’m not ready for talking with people, but am comforted with the solace of me and Rosebud."

Rosebud users are flourishing

Journaling has many proven benefits, including reduced stress, improved mood, higher grades, clearer thinking, lower blood pressure, and even improved immune system function. Many people want to journal but don’t know where to start or what to write about. Rosebud makes building a consistent journaling habit easy and enjoyable.

Our community has already journaled over 2 million words and we’ve been deeply moved by their stories of significant personal growth, improved mental clarity, and increased life satisfaction.

"Rosebud is a revelation for anyone new to journaling, currently journaling, and returning to journaling. It's the idea I wish I had thought of and one of the best beta AI products I've used to date."

"I've been trying to establish a routine of journaling for years but I would get stuck and stop. Since starting with Rosebud around two weeks ago, I've finally been able to journal."

"This app is quite extraordinary and special. You have really found a mix of accessibility and simplicity mixed with powerful and profound features. I would never find a path of this kind of exploration without Rosebud. Thank you!"
