The Missing Piece in Digital Journaling
You write about your partner, your best friend, your mom, your colleagues. You mention them in your happiest entries and your most challenging ones. But until now, no journaling app has ever asked: who are the people who truly matter in your life, and how do they affect your wellbeing?
That changes today with Your Circle, a feature that automatically analyzes your journal entries and mood reflections to surface meaningful patterns about your relationships.
What Your Circle Reveals
Your Circle uses AI to automatically detect and analyze every mention of the people in your life. Here's what you'll discover:
Mood Correlations
"Your mood tends to be 6.4/7 when you write about your partner" or "Your mood is 1.5 points higher on days you mention family vs. work."
Connection Patterns
See who you write about most, which relationships bring positive energy, and which ones correlate with stress or lower moods.
Recency Awareness
"It's been 14 days since you wrote about Mom" - gentle reminders about connections that might need attention.
How It Works (Automatically)
Your Circle works entirely in the background. No extra work required from you.

AI Extracts Relationships
Our AI identifies every mention of people (names, relationship terms like "boyfriend", "girlfriend", "wife", "husband", "mom", or "best friend") and tracks the context. It works even if you only mention relationship terms without names.

Connections & Insights Appear
Once someone is mentioned 3+ times, they appear in Your Circle. Visit the Insights tab to see beautiful visualizations, mood scores, and AI-generated insights about your relationships. You'll even get an email when a new connection is detected.
Smart Features That Make It Better
Works with Relationship Terms
You don't need to mention someone's name for them to appear in Your Circle. The AI understands relationship terms like "my boyfriend", "my girlfriend", "my wife", "my husband", "mom", "best friend", and more. If you mention "my boyfriend" in your entries, that connection will be tracked.
Smart Merging: When you later mention the person's name (e.g., "Had dinner with John, my boyfriend"), the system automatically merges all "Boyfriend" mentions to "John". Your Circle gets smarter over time.
Meaningful Connections Only
A person needs to be mentioned at least 3 times before they appear as a connection in Your Circle. This ensures we're showing you meaningful relationships, not one-off mentions. We'll let you know if you're close—if someone has 1-2 mentions, we'll tell you to keep journaling about them.
Email Notifications for New Connections
When someone reaches 3 mentions and becomes a connection in Your Circle, we'll send you an email notification. You'll learn what we think the relationship type is and get a direct link to view Your Circle. It's like getting a notification that a new friendship milestone was reached.
Real Patterns from Real Users
Here are actual insights discovered from Dayora users (names changed for privacy):
"I had no idea I was writing about work stress 8 times more than my family. Seeing my mood average 4.2 for work vs. 6.8 for family was a wake-up call."
"Your Circle showed me I hadn't mentioned my best friend in 3 weeks. I reached out that day, and it turned out they really needed someone to talk to."
"I journal about my partner almost daily, and Your Circle showed me my mood is consistently 6.5+ on those days. It made me appreciate how much they support my wellbeing."
Why Relationship Insights Matter
Research consistently shows that social connections are one of the strongest predictors of mental health and overall wellbeing. Yet most journaling apps treat relationships as just another word in your entries.
Your Circle changes that by:
- Making invisible patterns visible - You might not consciously notice that your mood lifts when you spend time with certain people
- Encouraging connection - Gentle reminders about people you haven't mentioned recently
- Honoring what matters - See who truly shows up in your inner world
- Identifying support systems - Understand which relationships support your wellbeing
