Show HN: Echologue – the private AI voice journal I built for myself

Use voice when typing is too much friction. Everyday moments, conversations, afterthoughts, and small realizations become part of a journal you can return to later.

Ask about people, places, moods, or time periods in natural language and retrieve the entries that actually matter, even when you do not remember the exact words.

Each entry is organized into facts, feelings, entities, and themes so your history stays legible whether you are recalling a trip, a person, or a fleeting realization.

Echologue can reason over what has been happening lately without losing your broader personal history, making recall feel both current and grounded.

Your journal stays on your device. AI processing is ephemeral, and export, backup, and wipe controls keep ownership with you.

Export your journal as JSON or CSV, keep your own backup, wipe the app anytime, or bring your archive to another AI tool if you choose.

Dictate in many languages and turn voice notes into structured entries. Transcription quality can vary by language, accent, and audio clarity.

Remembered chat is visible and intentional. Useful clarifications can become memory, while off-the-record conversations stay out of the profile.
