Clabrate tools · free voice journal

A journal you can type or say.

One easy daily icebreaker to get you talking, then a blank page for whatever’s on your mind. Write it or speak it — a private speech model turns your voice into text right in this tab. Every word stays in your browser.

The reason it’s worth coming back

On this day, in months past

Each time a day-of-month comes around again, this rail shows glimpses of what you wrote on the same date in earlier months. It’s empty now and fills itself in as you keep a few entries — a small, private time capsule that grows on its own.

Nothing here yet — keep journaling and earlier months will start showing up.

Your entries

Everything you’ve written

No entries yet. Write or speak something above and it’ll appear here — click any day to reopen it.

Wipes every entry in this browser. There is no cloud backup, so this can’t be undone.
Private by default

A journal has no business phoning home

Most journaling apps sync your most private words to a server you don’t control. This one does the opposite: it writes to your browser and stops there. Type freely, or speak and let a local model do the typing — either way the words are yours alone.

01

Warm up, then write

A quick, playful question gets the first words out. Answer it, then the blank page feels less blank.

02

Type or talk

Press Speak and dictate — the same on-device Whisper model behind Transcribe turns your voice into text without an upload.

03

It remembers with you

The “on this day” rail quietly resurfaces past entries, turning a habit into a keepsake.

From this tab to every Mac app

Here you speak into a journal. On a Mac you can speak into anything.

This page shows how natural it feels to talk instead of type. The Clabrate Mac app takes the same idea everywhere: hold a key, talk, let go, and clean finished text lands wherever your cursor already is — your email, your notes, your code — transcribed on your Mac by default.

Keep this journal as long as you like; it’ll never ask for a login. And if you catch yourself wishing you could talk your way through the rest of your day, that’s exactly the job the app was built for.

Questions

Voice journal FAQ

Is this journal private?

Completely. Your entries are saved only in this browser (IndexedDB) and never sent anywhere. There is no account and no server copy. The one and only network request is the optional speech model download, and only if you choose to dictate.

Where is my journal stored?

In this browser, on this device, in local IndexedDB storage. That means it stays private — but it also means clearing site data, using private/incognito mode, or switching browsers will not carry it over. Use Export to Markdown to keep a backup you control.

Does speaking my entry upload the audio?

No. When you dictate, a small Whisper speech model runs entirely in this tab and turns your voice into text on-device. Your microphone audio never leaves the browser — only the model weight files are fetched, once, from a public CDN.

Is it really free?

Yes, free and no signup. It is a small taste of what the Clabrate Mac app does system-wide. Type or talk here as much as you like.

What is the daily warm-up question?

Each calendar day shows one quick, playful icebreaker, chosen deterministically from a pool of 200. A question may come around twice in a year, but the same date gets a different one the following year. Not feeling it? Tap "Different question" for another.

What browsers work?

Any modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox) can type and save entries. Dictation needs microphone access and WebAssembly; it runs faster where WebGPU is available.
