Features in detail

Introspective questionnaire

A structured question flow designed to surface your thought patterns and deeper aspirations rather than surface-level answers — you move at your own pace, with no judgment and no clock running. Questions build on your previous answers, deepening gradually rather than following a fixed form.

Voice companion

Speak out loud with your AI companion as you would with a real confidant — a warm presence by your side in moments of reflection, no keyboard required. Useful for thinking out loud on a walk, or simply when writing doesn't suit the moment.

Read aloud

Listen back to your own journal entries read aloud: a different way to gain perspective on what you've confided, and especially useful for accessibility. Hearing your own words rather than re-reading them often changes your perspective on them.

Audio journal

Capture your thoughts in the moment, just by speaking — ideal when writing feels like too much, or when the inspiration only lasts an instant. The entry is transcribed and joins your journal just like a written entry.

Encrypted backup

End-to-end encryption using the NaCl/libsodium algorithm: your journal entries and questionnaire answers are encrypted locally before any transmission — not even the Anima team can ever access them. See the ethical charter and the privacy policy for the full detail of these commitments.

Private Semantic RAG

The AI only analyzes notes shared with your explicit consent, decrypted ephemerally in RAM. Nothing is indexed or kept in the clear beyond the time of the request: the companion keeps context across your conversations without ever storing your notes unencrypted on a server.

Anonymized Web Search

Online queries are anonymized through our shield server, completely protecting your IP address and identity. The companion can check up-to-date information without ever exposing your browsing to a third party.
