Why It's Free
Funded by members, not ads
Dayora is paid for by an optional membership, Dayora Plus. No advertisers, no data brokers, no one buying access to what you write.
No locked features
Nothing in the free plan is locked. AI insights, voice journaling, mood tracking, and Reflect chat are all there from day one, at no cost.
Built to stay free
The core of Dayora is free forever. No bait and switch, no trial traps, and nothing you already rely on moving behind a paywall.
Privacy
Encrypted entries
Your journal entries are protected with industry-standard encryption (TLS 1.3, AES-256).
Never sold or shared
We never sell your data to advertisers or data brokers. Your entries are securely processed by trusted AI providers to generate insights. Your journal is yours alone.
You own your data
Your data belongs to you. Export it anytime, delete it anytime. Full control, always.
Most journaling apps charge $100 to $150 a year for AI insights, mood tracking, and voice. Dayora gives you those for free.
There is an optional membership, Dayora Plus, for people who want voice calls and deeper reports. The journal itself is free either way.
Frequently asked questions
Is Dayora really free?
Yes. The core of Dayora is free: unlimited entries, AI insights, voice journaling, mood tracking, and Reflect chat. No credit card required, no trial period, no hidden costs. There is an optional membership, Dayora Plus, that adds voice calls, a daily synthesis email, and Deep Self Reports, but nothing you use today ever moves behind it.
Do I need a credit card?
No. You can sign up and start journaling immediately without providing a credit card. There is no payment form on the way in and no billing information required. You would only ever enter card details if you chose to join Dayora Plus.
Is my journal private?
Absolutely. Your journal entries are encrypted and stored securely. We never sell or share your data with third parties. Your journal is completely private and you own your data.
How is this different from Rosebud?
Dayora gives you the same core features as Rosebud (AI journaling, mood tracking, voice journaling) at no cost. Rosebud puts them behind a $12.99/month subscription. Dayora's optional membership is for extras like voice calls and deep reports, never for the journal itself.
What features are included?
The free plan includes AI-powered daily summaries, mood tracking with insights, voice journaling, pattern recognition, Reflect chat, and unlimited entries. None of it is metered or locked. Dayora Plus is a separate, optional membership that adds voice calls, a daily synthesis email, and Deep Self Reports.
Will you start charging later?
No. The core features (journaling, AI summaries, mood tracking, voice journaling) remain free. We said that if we ever added premium features they would be optional add-ons rather than requirements, and that is exactly what happened. Dayora Plus adds voice calls, a daily synthesis email, and Deep Self Reports. Nothing that was free became paid.
