Echologue - Private AI voice journal with askable memory
Show HN: Echologue – the private AI voice journal I built for myself
Echologue transforms raw voice notes into a structured, private memory you can actually query. Unlike generic chatbots, this local-first app separates facts from feelings to deliver grounded answers about your personal history, trips, and emotions. Available on iPhone and Android, it ensures your data stays on your device while enabling semantic recall through natural language questions. Perfect for reflective journalers who want their notes to answer real questions rather than sit in forgotten folders.
Not a generic chatbot. Your own memory, made askable.

Asking an AI how you feel about a person or the highlight of a trip is such an offloading of basic human identity.

Tresor.co or cloud.near.ai could be a useful inference provider for this kind of project as these providers run inference inside enclaves which verifiably cannot peek at your data even as the hypervisor. Both are open source. Tresor.co is EU based so I'm thinking of using tresor.co for one of my projects as I trust EU regulation more for this sort of thing.

I like the idea behind this a lot and feel the same way about my notes. I also built my own app for it and have a very similar feature on the roadmap. Cool stuff!
