Rosebud, the internet’s favorite journaling tool, finally available as a mobile app

August 1, 2024

After 12 months and 80 million words journaled, Rosebud is now available on iOS and Android

There's a reason Rosebud is one of the top rated journaling sites on the internet. With over 2,500 paying customers, Rosebud incorporates the best techniques of journaling with AI that can not only help articulate thoughts, but also to find patterns and insights in your entries. After a year of success on desktop, we're listening to our users and making journaling more accessible than ever before with our new mobile app, launching today.

We don’t need to tell you the importance of finding an emotional outlet in today’s world. The American Psychological Association's Stress in America survey reveals a startling truth: 58% of young adults feel overwhelmed by stress on a daily basis. Even more concerning, while two-thirds crave more emotional support, 71% stay silent, fearing they'll burden others.

At Rosebud, we believe everyone could benefit from more support. We also believe that, whether you’re navigating daily life or pursuing ambitious dreams, self awareness is a superpower that can be the difference between repeating unproductive patterns and living a more meaningful, fulfilled life. And the science points to journaling – one study found that just 15 minutes of journaling twice a week saw noticeable reductions in symptoms of depression, anxiety, and hostility.

Rosebud makes journaling as easy, insightful, and enjoyable as possible. Our AI evolves with you, learning from your entries over time and providing personalized prompts and insights tailored to you—making each journaling session more impactful than the last.

Here are some of the features that set the Rosebud app apart:

Rosebud eliminates mental barriers to begin journaling through guided questions, feedback, and insights— transforming minutes of self-reflection into a powerful tool for personal growth.
