So, how was today?

TuesdayOctober 20

Talk with a companion about your day. So Today keeps moments from what you say, so you can read them or ask about them later. You can type, too.

Kept

It’s kept as moments.

When you finish talking, the day is kept as moments: who was there, where you were, what mattered.

Find

Ask your journal anything it heard.

Ask the way you’d ask a friend who was there. Find answers from your own moments, and says so when your journal doesn’t know.

Reflect

Your week takes shape.

Each week blooms into the shape of what filled it.

ListenerWhat do you want to talk about?

YouSelena called from Lisbon today. She sounds happy, and the new apartment has a view of the river.

When did Selena move?Ask

Your journal doesn’t say the day.

She got the job in Lisbon on Saturday, October 3, and you celebrated with terrible karaoke.

Today she called from the new apartment, with its view of the river.

Questions

Are the companions real people?

No. Companions are software, not people. Each has its own way of listening and asking, and an illustrated face.

Is So Today therapy?

No. So Today is a journal, not therapy, medical care, or a crisis service. For immediate danger, call your local emergency number. In the US, call or text 988 if you’re thinking about harming yourself.

Do you keep recordings of my voice?

We don’t keep voice recordings. A speech service turns your audio into text as you talk; we keep the conversation text with your Talk.

Can I type instead of talking?

Yes. Start a Quick chat and type to your companion instead.

Your journal is readable offline. Talks and Find need an internet connection.
