DESCRIPTION:
Historicle is a local-first personal journal and life archive with AI features that run entirely on your Mac. 

CHRONICLE YOUR HISTORY

Write with a rich Markdown editor. Attach photos and audio recordings. Tag people with @mentions and topics with #hashtags. Build a searchable archive of your experiences and reflections.

Gorgeous, smooth photo and entry reviews make looking back at your life exciting and fun.

AI THAT RESPECTS YOUR PRIVACY

Unlike cloud-based AI tools, Historicle runs machine learning models directly on your device:

• Semantic Search: Find entries by meaning, not just keywords. Ask "when did I feel most grateful?" and discover relevant memories.
• Journal Chat: Have conversations about your life grounded in your actual journal entries.
• Emotion Insights: Understand emotional patterns with AI-powered sentiment analysis across 27 categories.
• Face Recognition: Automatically identify people in your photos with local AI.
• Audio Transcription: Record voice memos and let Whisper models transcribe them locally.
• Writing Coach: Get local AI feedback to express yourself more clearly.
