AI Journal
Write freely. Mindflow Sync analyses every entry to surface your mood, emotional intensity, and a personalised action you can take right now.
Overview
The journal is the core of Mindflow Sync. Every entry is analysed automatically to detect your emotional state and return structured insights. There are no rules about what or how much to write - the longer and more detailed the entry, the more accurate the analysis.
Writing an Entry
Open a new entry
Tap the + button on the Home screen or Journal tab.
Write anything
Type about your day, how you feel, a situation, or whatever is on your mind. No minimum length, but a few sentences gives the AI enough context for accurate analysis.
Save
Tap Save. If online, the AI analyses the entry within 2-5 seconds and returns mood, intensity, a summary, and a recommended action. If offline, the entry is saved locally with a placeholder mood and analysed automatically when you reconnect.
