Write it down. Be understood.
The journal with a lifelong AI companion.
The journal with a lifelong AI companion.
Resonote is a lifelong AI companion. Through the medium of journaling, it deeply understands your inner world, offering companionship that deepens over time.
It delivers more than just emotional value; it is dedicated to helping you build Wisdom Assets and achieve Self-Evolution. We help you turn life experiences into compounding wisdom—structuring the time, emotions, and thoughts that usually slip away each day into a library that truly belongs to you.
Simultaneously, through deep AI feedback, we help you identify invisible behavioral patterns and blind spots, breaking cognitive boundaries to reclaim Inner Sovereignty.
From truly understood, to truly empowered.
Emotional
When you feel lonely or confused, there is an absolutely safe presence that fully gets you.
Cognitive
AI untangles your chaotic thoughts, offers fresh perspectives, and provides clarity and strength.
Outcome
Through long-term recording and reflection, you gain psychological resilience and unlock higher potential.
ChatGPT (General AI) is an assistant; Resonote is a companion.

Core Asset: Inner World Data
| Dimension | General AI | Resonote |
|---|---|---|
| Product Goal | Make AI do the most work | Guide users to express more deeply |
| Design Focus | Highlight AI response | Highlight User input |
| Data Acquisition | Import existing data (docs, emails) | Guide deep personal expression |
Tech giants like Apple/Google have your emails, photos, calendar, location, and browsing history. But this is all Behavioral Data—what you did, where you went, what you bought.
They do not have your Inner World:
Even if Apple Intelligence accesses all your device data, it still cannot read your soul—unless you actively write it down. This is our Data Moat.
General AI's core strengths are large models and general tools, while ours is the Data Moat of a deep vertical.
Capabilities can be matched, but the data acquisition mechanism is determined by the product form. No matter how powerful General AI becomes, users won't pour their hearts and reflections into it.
The journaling scenario creates an uncopyable context barrier.
For users to trust us with their data, they need to know it belongs to them forever.
Synced via iCloud, leveraging big-tech security standards.
No server-side database. No one can read user content, including the dev team.
Users can take their data anytime in standard Markdown format.
On the surface, Resonote is a journal app. In essence, it is an Infinite Context Manager disguised as a journal. We've designed around context management since Day 1.
