Show HN: I built Pensiv, an AI-supported journalling app that grows with you

https://pensiv.me
5•zshaoz•9mo ago
Hi everyone,

I’ve been using ChatGPT to analyze my journal entries and to reflect with. It works great, I really liked it. I’ve managed to gain some good insights about myself and made improvements.

However, there are a few problems: - ChatGPT only remembers key facts about you, it has limited memories - ChatGPT couldn't recall the content of conversations you had with it - For individual ChatGPT products, your private conversations might be used to train future models (see: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/5722486-how-your-data-is...)

So, I decided to build my own AI journal system. What started out as a scrappy app on my terminal, eventually turn into a full fledge journalling app. And thus, Pensiv is born.

What can Pensiv do for you? - You can journal. - You can reflect with Pensiv AI. - You don't have to repeat yourself. Context is build on the fly for Pensiv AI. - Easily organize and index key people and topics that appear in your journal.

I have tried a number of AI-journalling apps, but most of their core experience emphasize on interacting with AI first, journalling second. My vision with Pensiv is to have journalling still be the core of your experience, and having AI to support you for deeper analysis and more insightful reflections. The goal is to have a DeepReserach-like AI Agent that could analyze all your past entries and conversations and give you tailored insights and advice.

If this interests you, I’m looking for early beta testers for Pensiv. It’s completely free to use. Sign up here! https://pensiv.me

The app looks and feels great. Very smooth, I can see you were considerate of the zen experience. It's very easy to misread the name as -isv.

Small ux bug: when starting a new chat, the title field gets focus, but if I start typing before the UUID slug in the URL changes, it'll cut out a chunk of my input.

Also very similar to a lot of Obsidian plugins I've seen going around recently---that will be one of your competitors.

Hey, thanks for checking out!

On the small ux bug: I think I know what you're talking about. Thanks for the feedback!
