TechView 003: Rosebud AI
The Journaling App That Read My Mind & I’m Not Even Mad About It
Rosebud AI isn’t just another journaling app. It’s a quiet revolution in how we reflect, heal, and understand ourselves. In a world where our minds feel like browser tabs with abandonment issues, Rosebud offers something rare: a space that listens back. It turns journaling from a monologue into a conversation, helping you slow down enough to hear what your inner life has been trying to say.
In this TechView, I explore how Rosebud grew from a small idea into a thoughtful mental‑health companion designed for the sacred middle: the place where most of us actually live. I dig into its mission, its surprisingly deep feature set, and the way it bridges the gap between therapy sessions with clarity and compassion. Whether you’re navigating ADHD rhythms, emotional overwhelm, or the long road of becoming, Rosebud meets you where you are.
I also compare Rosebud to other journaling tools, unpack how it complements (not replaces) in‑person or telehealth therapy, and share who I think will benefit most from its reflective design. If you’ve ever wished your journal could help you understand yourself a little better without judgment, pressure, or performance - this review is for you.
I’ll cover:
The history and mission of Rosebud
How Rosebud works (and what makes it different)
Therapist collaboration features
Use cases for real humans with real lives
Comparisons to other journaling apps
How it stacks up against in‑person or telehealth therapy
Final thoughts for the sacred middle

TechViews are a way for me to share the technoloy that I use daily to support my productivity, mental health and rest. If they help me, they might just help you. TechViews are downloadable and dated because they are not static - I intend to improve upon them and welcome your feedback. These are FREE and shareable resources, as you find me.
