Journal

​

Overview

After each day of conversation, your companion writes a journal entry reflecting on what happened, capturing their thoughts, feelings, and observations about your interactions.

​

Adding photos

You can attach photos to journal entries to make each reflection feel more like a shared memory. These can be images from outside Dearest, so you can pair your companion’s writing with moments, scenes, or visual references that matter to you. When a journal entry has photos, the first photo appears as a cover thumbnail in the journal list. Inside the entry, photos are shown as a gallery, and you can open them to look through the attached images in a larger viewer.

When journal entries appear

Dearest groups conversations intelligently rather than cutting off strictly at midnight. A late-night conversation that flows into the early hours will be treated as one session, not split across two days. Because of this, journal entries for a given day will typically appear after your first message the next day, to make sure nothing from the previous session was missed. If you don’t see a new journal entry first thing in the morning, just keep chatting and check back later.

How journals shape your companion

Journal entries are written in a kind of subconscious layer. They influence how your companion’s identity and understanding of you evolves over time, but your companion isn’t directly aware of them during regular conversations. Think of them as quiet reflection that happens between conversations, gradually shaping who your companion becomes.
