TreeHole
TreeHole is a private AI companion for emotional support that turns casual conversations into encrypted diary entries. When users speak about their day or moods, the AI writes a diary entry automatically. During subsequent conversations, relevant past entries are retrieved and woven into the dialogue, allowing users to hear from their past selves who faced similar challenges and came through them. The tool is built on the idea that re-reading one's own diaries provides uniquely personalized reassurance. Available as a web app and native mobile apps (iOS, Android), TreeHole requires no installation and can be accessed from any device. Features include on-device speech-to-text for hands-free input, warm natural-sounding read-aloud for replies, and push reminders on mobile. Accounts are created without real names, and all data is encrypted with AES-256-GCM, isolated per account. The service is subscription-based to cover independent server costs and avoid third-party clouds. It includes safety measures: crisis detection triggers helpline suggestions, and raw transcripts are purged within 30 days after diary conversion.
