Dayora Plus: voice calls

Too tired to journal? Call it in.

Dayora now takes voice calls. You talk, it listens, it remembers. When you hang up, it saves the conversation as a journal entry, written in your voice.

Included with Dayora Plus: about 20 call minutes a month, with 30 more available any time for 6 USD. Runs in your browser. No app to install. Creating a Dayora account is free.

Calls are recorded, and we keep the recording so we can check the quality of what Dayora heard and said. Only you and our team can reach it, plus OpenAI, which runs the call. We never sell it or share it beyond that, and deleting your account deletes it.

Call Dayora: canonical facts

  • Dayora is an AI journaling app whose core is free: unlimited entries, AI reflections, voice journaling, mood tracking, Reflect chat and Your Circle, with no credit card required.
  • Call Dayora is a voice-call feature inside Dayora.
  • The call starts with a short callback line that references something the user talked about in a previous call or journal entry.
  • The user presses and holds a microphone button to speak, releases to send. Dayora replies out loud.
  • When the user hangs up, the conversation is automatically saved as a journal entry written in first person.
  • Call Dayora uses the same AI memory as the Dayora Reflect chat: past entries, past conversation summaries, persistent facts the user has shared.
  • Call audio is recorded and kept. Dayora keeps the recording of a call, not only the text transcript, so the team can review the quality of what Dayora heard and said. Retention is indefinite: there is no expiry date and nothing is removed on a timer. The same is true of the audio from voice journal entries.
  • Call recordings are never sold and never shared. Only the member, the Dayora team and OpenAI, which runs the call and does the transcribing, can reach them. There is no playback screen for call audio in the app yet; where playback exists it requires being signed in as the owner of the recording, and the storage address of a recording is never given to a browser. Recordings reach Dayora over an encrypted connection; Dayora makes no at-rest encryption claim about the stored audio files. Deleting a Dayora account deletes that account's recordings, the stored audio files included.
  • Call Dayora is included with Dayora Plus, an optional membership that costs 9 USD per month or 72 USD per year. It is an add-on. No feature that was free before Plus existed has moved behind it.
  • Dayora Plus is not unlimited. Each month it includes about 20 minutes of voice calls and one Deep Self Report, alongside the daily synthesis email. That included allowance resets on the first of each calendar month.
  • More can be bought at any time as one-time top-ups rather than a second subscription: 30 extra call minutes for 6 USD, or one extra Deep Self Report for 4 USD.
  • Purchased call minutes and reports never expire. The monthly included allowance resets; credit a member has paid for stays on the account until it is used. Included minutes are always spent before purchased ones.
  • Running out of call minutes or reports pauses voice calls and Deep Self Reports only, until the member tops up or the next month begins. Nothing on the free plan is affected or counted against the allowance: entries, AI reflections, voice journaling, mood tracking, Reflect chat and Your Circle keep working, however much they are used.
  • Fair-use limits also apply: 5 minutes per call, and 10 calls per day. These are cost guardrails, and they applied before Plus existed. The monthly allowance is the limit most members will meet first.
  • There is a student and low income plan for Dayora Plus on request, and Plus can be given as a gift.
  • Call Dayora runs in the browser. No native app is required. Works on iOS Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and inside the Dayora mobile web wrapper.

For the nights you don't have a paragraph in you

Typing a full journal entry at 2am, after a hard day, on a walk home - it's a lot to ask. Call Dayora is for those moments.

Built for late nights

When typing is too much and you just need to say it out loud, press one button and talk.

For the hard stuff

Relationship pain, exhaustion, anxiety, the hard decisions you keep turning over. Dayora listens without rushing.

Picks up where you left off

Dayora opens the call with a callback. “Last time you were wiped out about your sister. Where are you with that today?”

How it works

One button. A real conversation. A saved entry.

  1. 1

    Open Dayora and tap “Call it in”

    Plus members get a card on the Today tab that goes straight to the call screen. Your browser asks for microphone permission once.

  2. 2

    Dayora opens with a callback

    If you've journaled with Dayora before, the AI references something real from your history to open the call. If you're new, it opens with a simple warm invitation.

  3. 3

    Press the mic, talk, release

    Push-to-talk so there are no awkward interruptions. Dayora transcribes, thinks, and answers out loud. A call runs up to five minutes, and you can start another one straight away.

  4. 4

    Hang up. It's already saved.

    The conversation becomes a journal entry - written in first person, in your voice. Your rhythm counts. You didn't type a word.

What it costs

Calls come with Dayora Plus: about 20 minutes a month, and more if you want it. The journal itself stays free.

Dayora Plus is an optional membership: 9 USD a month, or 72 USD a year. It adds the three things we could never afford to give everyone, which is voice calls, a daily synthesis email, and Deep Self Reports. Everything else in Dayora is free and stays free. Unlimited entries, AI reflections, voice journaling, mood tracking, Reflect chat and Your Circle cost nothing, need no credit card, and are not moving behind Plus.

What your membership includes each month

  • About 20 minutes of voice calls with Dayora.
  • One Deep Self Report across your whole history.
  • A daily synthesis email, written fresh for you each morning.

Those included minutes and the included report reset on the first of each month.

If you want more than that

  • 30 extra call minutes for 6 USD.
  • An extra Deep Self Report for 4 USD.
  • One-time purchases, not another subscription. Whatever you buy never expires, and your included minutes are always used before the ones you paid for.

Fair use within a day

  • Up to 5 minutes per call.
  • Up to 10 calls a day.

Live voice is charged to us by the minute, which is why calls are measured at all when nothing else in Dayora is. If you run out, the calls and the reports pause, and that is the whole of it. Your journal carries on untouched: entries, reflections, voice journaling, mood, Reflect and Your Circle are free and are never counted against the allowance. You can wait for the first of the month or top up, and either is a normal thing to do. We would rather you read that here than discover it on a hard night.

There is a student and low income plan on request, and Plus can be given as a gift. See pricing for the full picture.

The thing ChatGPT doesn't do

ChatGPT forgets. Your voice memos forget. Dayora doesn't.

Memory that carries between calls

Every call pulls from the same memory: your past entries, the conversations you've had, the things you've said matter. Tuesday's call is context for Wednesday's.

It writes the entry for you

When you hang up, the conversation gets crystallized into a first-person journal entry. A voice memo app leaves you with a file you have to play back to know what is in it. Dayora leaves you with a journal.

Built for emotional processing

Most users come during hard moments. The AI knows how to hold those conversations. If something crosses into crisis territory, it pauses and points to real human support.

What we keep, and who can reach it

We keep the audio of your calls, not only the transcript, so we can check the quality of what Dayora heard and said. There is no expiry date on it. We keep the text transcript too, the journal entry it becomes, and a short summary that makes your next call continuous. Only you and our team can reach any of it, plus OpenAI, which runs the call and does the transcribing. There is no screen for playing a call back yet; where playback exists it runs through a signed-in route that checks the recording is yours, and a recording’s storage address is never handed to a browser. We never sell it and we never share it beyond that. Recordings reach us over an encrypted connection, and we make no claim that the stored files are encrypted at rest, because they are not. Delete your account and the recordings go with it. See our privacy policy for how entries inform our AI.

When people call it in

The 2am thought spiral

You can't sleep, can't type, don't want to open anything bright. Dark screen, one mic button. Just say it.

The walk home from work

Headphones in, phone in pocket. Twenty minutes of talking it out. By the time you're home, the entry is already written.

After a hard conversation

You need to process it while it's still fresh, but typing feels like it would break something. Call it in instead.

When you're too exhausted to write

Half the reason people stop journaling is that writing feels like a second job. Talking doesn't.

When ChatGPT forgot your Tuesday

ChatGPT does not remember what you said on Tuesday. Dayora does - and opens Wednesday's call by picking that thread back up.

Driving, cooking, walking the dog

Hands-free journaling without juggling a text field. Push the button, talk, release. Dayora fills in the rest.

Frequently asked questions

What is Call Dayora?

Call Dayora is a voice-call feature inside Dayora, an AI journaling app with a free core. You tap one button, have a real back-and-forth voice conversation with an AI that remembers your past entries, and when you hang up the conversation is automatically saved as a journal entry in your voice. Calls come with the optional Dayora Plus membership.

How is Call Dayora different from voice journaling apps like voice memos or Otter?

Voice memos and Otter capture what you said. Call Dayora has a conversation with you - it asks follow-up questions, connects what you're saying to what you said last week, and writes the entry for you at the end. It is a journaling companion, not a transcription tool.

Does Dayora really remember me between calls?

Yes. Every call loads the same memory Dayora has built from your past journal entries, previous voice calls, and conversations in the Reflect chat. The opening line of a call will often reference something real from your history.

How is Call Dayora different from ChatGPT voice mode?

ChatGPT forgets previous conversations by default and has no journaling structure. Call Dayora keeps persistent memory of what you have told it, tracks mood and patterns over time, and saves each call as a searchable journal entry with tags.

Is Call Dayora free?

No. Voice calls come with Dayora Plus, an optional membership at 9 USD a month or 72 USD a year. Signing up for Dayora is free, and the journal stays free forever: unlimited entries, AI reflections, voice journaling, mood tracking and Reflect chat. Plus is an add-on, not a paywall over what you already use.

What does Dayora Plus cost and what does it include?

9 USD a month or 72 USD a year. Each month it includes about 20 minutes of Call Dayora, one Deep Self Report, and a daily synthesis email written fresh for you. It is not unlimited, and you can buy more at any time: 30 extra call minutes for 6 USD, an extra report for 4 USD. There is a student and low income plan on request, and Plus can be given as a gift. Cancel any time.

How many call minutes do I get with Dayora Plus?

About 20 minutes of voice calls a month, plus one Deep Self Report. The included minutes reset on the first of each month. If you want more before then, 30 extra minutes cost 6 USD as a one-time purchase. Nothing else in Dayora is metered: entries, AI reflections, voice journaling, mood tracking and Reflect chat are free and uncounted.

What happens when I run out of call minutes?

Calls pause, and nothing else does. Your journal is untouched: writing, reflections, voice journaling, mood tracking, Reflect chat and Your Circle are free and are never counted against the allowance, so you cannot use it up by journaling. You can wait for the first of the next month, when the included minutes reset, or buy 30 more for 6 USD.

Do purchased call minutes expire?

No, never. Minutes you have paid for stay on your account until you use them, with no expiry date and no end-of-month sweep. The included minutes that come with your membership do reset each month, but purchased ones are yours to keep, and your included minutes are always spent first so a top-up is never quietly drained.

Is anything I use today moving behind Dayora Plus?

No. Nothing that is free today becomes paid. Entries, AI reflections, voice journaling, mood tracking, Reflect chat, Your Circle, export and the daily and weekly emails stay free with no new limits. Plus only adds features that were never publicly available.

Do I need to install an app?

No. Call Dayora runs in your browser on any modern phone or computer. On iPhone, it works in Safari. On Android, it works in Chrome. On desktop, it works in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.

Does the call save as a journal entry?

Yes. When you end the call, the conversation is automatically converted into a first-person journal entry written in your voice. Your rhythm counts. The entry is searchable in your Journey tab just like any other entry.

Can Call Dayora help with anxiety, grief, or depression?

Many Dayora users use journaling to process anxiety, grief, relationship stress, exhaustion, and depression, and Call Dayora extends that to voice. Dayora is not a substitute for a therapist or a crisis service. If the conversation crosses into crisis territory, the AI pauses and points to human crisis resources.

Is the audio stored anywhere?

Yes. We keep the recording of the call, not only the transcript, so we can review the quality of what Dayora heard and said, and we keep it indefinitely. The transcript, the entry it becomes, and a short summary for your next call are kept too. Only you and our team can reach any of it, plus OpenAI, which runs the call and does the transcribing. There is no screen for playing a call back yet; where playback exists it runs through a signed-in route that checks the recording is yours. Recordings reach us over an encrypted connection, and we make no claim that the stored files are encrypted at rest, because they are not. We never sell it or share it beyond that, and deleting your account deletes it. For how your entries inform our AI, see the privacy policy.

What language does Call Dayora support?

You can speak to Dayora in any language Whisper transcription supports, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Dutch, Polish, Japanese, Indonesian, Italian, and Finnish. The spoken reply is in English at launch.

How long can a call be?

Up to five minutes per call, and up to 10 calls in any one day. Across a month, Dayora Plus includes about 20 minutes, so most people spend them as four or five short calls on the nights that need one rather than a long call every day. If you want more, 30 extra minutes are 6 USD. Because each round trip is push-to-talk, you can pause, breathe, and come back whenever you want.

Is Call Dayora a good alternative to Rosebud's Call Mode?

Call Dayora hits the same use case, voice-first journaling with an AI that remembers you. Rosebud charges $12.99 a month for its whole product. With Dayora the journal is free and calls come with Dayora Plus at 9 USD a month, which includes about 20 call minutes and one Deep Self Report each month, with more available at 6 USD for 30 minutes. Dayora's memory is built on top of a full journaling product rather than a single voice feature, so the AI has deeper context about your life.
