HesperJournal · Reflection · Coaching
A journal that listens, and a coach for the people in your life.
Answer one question a day, or write whatever is on your mind. Hesper reflects back what it notices, asks one good follow-up question, and helps with the conversations that are hard to start.

One question a day
A short, specific question each morning, chosen for what you want help with: love, family, friends, work, stress or understanding yourself.
Reflections, not verdicts
Hesper's AI tells you what it notices in what you wrote and gives you one question to sit with. It doesn't tell you who you are.
Help with real people
Add the people who matter. Hesper helps you see where things stand, what to try and how to start the conversation.
Every day
A check-in and a question, in a minute.
Open Hesper, tap how you feel and answer today's question. A week strip shows your moods and the days you wrote, so patterns show up on their own.
- Five moods, from rough to great, logged with one tap
- A new question every day, weighted to what you want help with
- Not today's question? Ask for another one
Your journal
Write freely. Hesper reflects back what it notices.
Any entry can get a short reflection: a few sentences on what stands out, and one question to sit with. Add a mood, tag the people an entry is about, and come back to it whenever you like.
- Reflections only once you've allowed AI; the journal works without it
- Turn any entry into a conversation with “Talk it through”
- Edit or delete an entry at any time
The people in your life
A coach for the people who matter.
Add a partner, a parent, a friend or a boss, with a few notes on what's going on. Hesper writes a short guide: where things stand, what's working, something to try and a way to open the conversation. Then talk it through with your coach.
- Built on your notes and entries, never on guesses about what someone else thinks
- “Something you could say”: an opener you can copy
- A coach conversation for each person, and one for everything else
Honest about what it is
A coach, not a therapist.
Hesper is an AI. It can help you think, notice patterns and find the words, but it isn't therapy or professional advice, and it says so.
Always an AI
Every reflection, guide and reply is labelled “AI-generated · For self-reflection, not professional advice”, and every conversation says you're chatting with Hesper's AI, not a person.
Not therapy
Hesper doesn't diagnose, and it doesn't give medical, legal or financial instructions. For those, please talk to a professional.
Safety first
If an entry or a message shows signs of a crisis, Hesper sets the coaching aside and points you to real help. How it works
How it works
A few minutes a day.
-
Say what you'd like help with
Your name, the areas of life you'd like help with and, if you like, your relationship status. That's all Hesper asks.
-
Check in and write
Tap a mood, answer the day's question or write freely, and tag the people an entry is about.
-
Reflect and talk it through
Read what Hesper noticed, open a person's guide, or bring whatever is on your mind to your coach.
Your data, your choice
Private by default.
A journal holds the things you don't tell anyone. Hesper doesn't need your email, your contacts or your location, never shows you ads, and asks before anything you write goes to its AI provider.
No login, no ads
Hesper creates an anonymous account on your phone. Nothing you write is sold or used for advertising.
Asked, not assumed
Hesper asks before your entries, moods, notes or messages go to its AI provider. Say no and your journal, check-ins and people still work, without AI.
Delete everything, any time
Delete an entry, a person or your whole account in the app. Deleting your account removes it and everything in it from our servers.
Your coach reads what you allow
Choose whether your coach may draw on your recent entries. Turn it off and it reads only the entry a conversation is about.
Questions
Good to know
Is Hesper free?
Yes. Everything in this version is free, with no in-app purchases. Coach chat has a daily limit: 30 messages on your first day, then 20 a day.
Is Hesper therapy?
No. Hesper is an AI journal and coach for self-reflection. It isn't therapy or counselling, and it isn't medical, psychological, legal or financial advice. If you're struggling, a professional can help in ways an app can't. If you're in danger, our Safety page lists crisis lines.
Who reads my journal?
Nobody at Hesper reads your journal or your conversations as you use the app. If you allow AI, the text a reflection, guide or reply needs is sent to our AI provider to write it. If you report an AI text, we review what you reported.
Can I use Hesper without AI?
Yes. Your journal, mood check-ins, daily questions and people all work without AI. Reflections, guides and the coach need it, and Hesper asks first.
What does Hesper know about the people I add?
Only what you tell it: a name, how you know them and any notes you write. Hesper never contacts them. Please write about others with care.
Who can use Hesper?
Hesper is for people aged 18 and over.
When can I download it?
Hesper is coming soon to the App Store for iPhone and to Google Play for Android. This page will link to both as soon as they're live.
