Voice journaling
Say it the way you'd say it to a friend
Tap record and talk. noor transcribes your voice note into a journal entry, so the days you can't face a blank page still count.
Features
Small ritual.
Small ritual.
Serious depth.
27 things noor does, and 23 of them are free. Everything below is in the app today — none of it is a roadmap — and each one is marked honestly as free or Premium, with no asterisks.
Capture
Get it out of your head
However the day left you — talkative, wordless, or somewhere in between. Speak it, type it, in the language you think in.
Free
Text journaling
Or write it down, unfiltered
A quiet, beautiful page with a gentle prompt when you want one — and none when you don't.
Free
Your language
Say it in the language you think in
Choose your speaking language from dozens, South Africa's official languages first, and noor answers in the language you wrote in. If your phone can't listen live in yours, noor says so plainly — and your saved entry still comes out in your language.
Free
Breathing, grounding & SOS
For the moments between entries
Guided breathing, a 5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercise you pace yourself, and progressive muscle relaxation for when you need to settle — and an always-there SOS screen with crisis resources, because a journal should know its limits.
Reflect
Be heard, properly
The heart of noor: every entry read with attention, alongside the ones before it — what you actually said, and what you keep saying.
Free
Sofia, your companion
Someone in your corner, any hour
Sofia reads what you share and responds with warmth and honesty — brief check-ins, real conversation, and continuity from one week to the next. She's an AI companion, not a therapist, and she never pretends otherwise.
Free
AI reflections
Every entry, properly read
Save an entry and receive a considered analysis: how you seem to be feeling, the pattern underneath it, what's going right in your own words, how today compares with what you wrote before, and questions worth sitting with.
Free
Pattern insight
See the loops you can't see from inside
noor compares today's entry with your history and names the pattern that matters most — a loop you're stuck in, a need going unmet, or the value clashing with the rule you punish yourself with. Kind, but not just nice.
Free
Noor Spark questions
Questions that open doors
Instead of advice, noor asks — pointed, Socratic questions aimed at the exact thing you just wrote about, so the resolution is yours.
Grow
Watch yourself change
Charts, a weekly page and lists that fill themselves — growth you can see, on a timescale guilt can't survive.
Free
Mood tracking
Watch a feeling change shape
A gentle check-in before and after each entry, then charts that show how your mood moves around your entries over weeks and months.
Premium
Deep-Dive analysis
Go one level further
Take any reflection deeper: the limiting belief underneath it, a grounded reframe, and where the thread leads across your journal.
Free
Weekly Synthesis
Your week, in one honest page
Every week, noor draws your entries together into a single synthesis — themes, shifts, and what quietly improved while you weren't looking.
Premium
Living lists
Gratitude, strengths, resources — kept for you
noor quietly collects the good things you mention — what you're grateful for, what you did well, what helps — into lists you can return to on hard days.
Free
Psychoeducation
Understand the why
Short, plain-language explainers on the ideas behind your reflections — grounded in CBT- and ACT-informed thinking, never jargon for its own sake.
Free
Streaks without guilt
Consistency, celebrated — never enforced
Milestones glow when you show up. When you don't, nothing scolds you. noor is deliberately built without guilt mechanics, pressure loops, or manufactured urgency.
Return
A journal that comes back to you
Depth without more screens: ask it a question, let it remember Thursday, get a letter about your month, bring your old journal with you.
Free
Ask your journal
"When did I last feel this calm?"
Type a question into your journal history and get an answer drawn only from your own entries — with the dates it came from, so you can open the day. On the free plan a question counts as one of the week's reflections; Premium asks without a cap.
Free
Check-backs
noor remembers Thursday
Mention an interview, a decision, or a note to your future self, and noor offers to bring it back on the day. Say yes or not now — one line, never a nag.
Free
Then and now
What changed since you last wrote about this
When a subject comes back months later, your reflection carries one honest sentence on what has changed — or hasn't — since the dated entry you wrote then.
Free
A letter for the month
Written to you, not about you
Once you've written enough of a month, Sofia writes you a letter about it — grounded in your own words, ending on one question to carry forward. One a month.
Free
Photo entries
A picture with your words
Attach a photo from your library or camera. The reflection sees it once; the photo stays on your phone with the entry, never on our servers.
Premium
Walk & talk
Talk to Sofia hands-free
A mic in Sofia's composer for anyone. With Premium, hands-free mode reads each reply aloud and listens again when it's done — a conversation on a walk.
Free
For your counsellor
Your words, none of the AI's
A PDF of your entries and moods, every word in full and nothing Sofia wrote, prepared to hand to a real person — with a preface that says exactly what it is and isn't.
Free
Home-screen widget
Today's card, on your launcher
On Android, noor's today card lives on your home screen — a check-back, a memory from this day, or a line to start with — with one-tap shortcuts to write, your history, and Sofia. Resize it and it changes what it shows.
Free
Bring your journal with you
Import a noor or Day One export
Pick a file, see what it holds, add it on a second tap. A noor export comes back whole; a Day One export becomes plain entries. Nothing is ever imported twice.
Protect & personalise
A space that's safe and yours
Privacy you can touch, a voice you choose, and a look that feels like home.
Free
Privacy tools
Your journal answers to you
A Privacy section that says, in plain words, what leaves your phone. A passcode lock in the phone app, export, and export-then-delete in one place. Guest mode keeps everything on your device.
Free
Tone & vocabulary
Choose how noor talks to you
Gentle, Balanced, Direct or Analytical — in anything from plain everyday words to a technical register. Set it in Settings and change it whenever you like; it shapes every reflection, and every reply from Sofia.
Free
Make it yours
A space that feels like you
Emoji avatars you earn as you grow, a launcher icon that follows your mood, and a true dark mode. Some avatars are Premium-only.
Premium
Spoken replies
Reflections you can hear
Tap any reply and Sofia reads it aloud, in the language you wrote in — for the moments when taking it in off a screen is too much.
23 of 27, free.
The free plan is a whole journaling practice, not a trial of one. Premium is there for when you want more of noor's attention — it adds depth, it doesn't unlock the door.
Begin tonight.
One honest voice note before bed. That's all a first entry is — and it's further than most people ever get.
