About Dayora
We're building a journaling companion that respects your privacy, understands your patterns, and helps you grow through self-reflection.
Our Mission
Journaling shouldn't feel like a chore. It should be effortless, insightful, and genuinely helpful. We built Dayora to make self-reflection more accessible by combining the timeless practice of journaling with modern AI technology.
Our goal is simple: help people understand themselves better. Whether you're tracking your mood, processing a difficult day, or just capturing thoughts, Dayora provides the tools and insights to make journaling meaningful.
Intelligent
AI that understands context, finds patterns, and offers genuine insights without being intrusive.
Human-Centered
Built for real people with real lives. No guilt, no pressure, just helpful tools when you need them.
Privacy-First
Your journal is yours alone. We encrypt everything and never sell your data. Period.
Our Philosophy
Insights Over Judgment
We believe AI should offer observations, not judgments. Our technology identifies patterns in your entries (like mood trends or recurring themes) but never diagnoses, prescribes, or tells you how to live your life. You're the expert on you.
Privacy is Non-Negotiable
Your journal contains your most personal thoughts. We take that responsibility seriously. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. We don't sell data to third parties. Your words stay yours. Read more in our Security Policy and Privacy Policy.
Progress Without Pressure
Journaling is a personal practice, not a performance metric. We celebrate consistency but never guilt you for missing days. Life happens. The app is here when you need it, quiet when you don't.
AI as a Tool, Not a Replacement
AI enhances journaling but doesn't replace the human work of reflection. It can surface patterns you might miss, offer thoughtful prompts, and help you see your growth over time, but the insights that matter most come from your own contemplation.
Ethics & Transparency
We Are Not Medical Professionals
Dayora is a journaling tool, not a medical or mental health service. We don't provide therapy, clinical diagnoses, or medical advice. If you're experiencing a mental health crisis or need professional support, please contact a qualified healthcare provider or crisis helpline. Our app is designed to complement, not replace, professional care.
How We Use AI
We use OpenAI's GPT models to analyze your journal entries and generate insights. Here's how it works:
- Your entries are sent to OpenAI's API for analysis (encrypted in transit)
- We use the analysis to identify themes, moods, and patterns
- OpenAI does not use your data to train their models (per our agreement)
- We do not train our own models on user data
- We do not share journal content with any other third parties
Data Handling
We're transparent about what we collect and why. Read our full Privacy Policy for details, but in short: we collect only what's necessary to provide the service, we encrypt everything, and we never sell your data.
Our Commitment
As we grow, our values won't change. Privacy, transparency, and user wellbeing will always guide our decisions. If you ever have questions about how Dayora works or how we handle your data, contact us at human@dayora.ai.
Who We Are
Dayora was created by a small team passionate about the intersection of technology and personal growth. We're journalers ourselves who wanted better tools for self-reflection.
Our backgrounds span software engineering, product design, and psychology. We're building the journaling app we wish existed: intelligent enough to be helpful, simple enough to use daily, and private enough to trust completely.
