One per day, but you can reopen today's entry to add more. If you leave before saving, the draft stays on your device (without photos).

AI analysis
How do I get an AI analysis?
On Home, tap Analyse journals. It reads your last 7 days, so write on a few different days first. The app shows how many more you need.
How many tokens does it cost?
You see the cost and your balance before you confirm. If an analysis fails, your tokens come back automatically.
What does the AI read, and do I have to agree first?
Yes, Sojiwa asks before your first analysis. Your recent entries, moods and any personal insights then go through OpenRouter (USA) to Anthropic's Claude, with OpenAI as a backup. They're processed outside Malaysia and never used to train AI.Withdraw anytimeSettings › Privacy & security › AI analysis consent
Can I choose the language of the reply?
Yes: any of the 13 languages. It doesn't have to match the app language.Profile › AI advice › AI reply language
What's in the result?
What the AI noticed, a good thing you may have missed, your mood trend, key themes, small suggestions and a note for you. You can rate or report each one.Past resultsProfile › My activity › AI advice history
Can I add more about myself?
Optional: your birthday, MBTI or hobbies help the AI reply more personally.Profile › AI advice › Personal insights
Is the AI a therapist?
No. It can't diagnose, doesn't replace professional help, and can get things wrong. If an analysis suggests you're having a hard time, it shows you helplines.
My Story & memories
What is My Story?
A place for your days: a timeline, a page for each day, Memories, and So far, with lifetime counts, a year in pixels coloured by mood, and what lifts you.
Are my memories and small-wins jar private?
Yes. Memory photos and small-win text are your own content, stored so the app can work, like journals and journal photos. They are not shared, are deleted with your account and are included in your data export. Small wins and journal text are never sent to AI. If you share a memory, the image shows only the photos, title, dates and place.
How do I find my jar again?
Your small wins live in one jar. After a rough check-in, Sojiwa may offer to open it for you.My Story › So far › Your jar
What is “Ask me how it went”?
An optional row when you write a journal entry. Pick a day and a short label (up to 40 characters), and on that day Sojiwa reminds you and shows a card on Home that opens the entry. The reminder notification is generic and carries nothing from your journal.
Your pet
Which pets can I adopt? Can I change later?
A cat, a dog, or a legendary friend: dragon, qilin, kancil or unicorn. Legendary pets hatch from an egg after your first check-in or journal. You can change the name, colour and outfit anytime, but not the species.
How does my pet earn coins?
When you look after yourself: a check-in, a mood, a journal, a breathing exercise and a friend visit each count once a day, and adventures bring coins back. Patting your own pet helps it grow but earns no coins. There's a daily limit, and coins can't be bought or gifted.
How does my pet grow?
The same self-care earns growth points, from baby to teen to adult. Growth never goes backwards.
How do adventures and postcards work?
Do two self-care activities in a day and your pet sets off, returning about 4 hours later with a postcard. Collect 15 Malaysian postcards for a passport to travel abroad.Pet › Postcards
What can I do with a friend's pet?
Friends who follow each other are pet friends. Once a day, visit and pat their pet, leave a note or send a gift. Notes and gifts arrive in their Mailbox.
What is the 7-day co-op goal?
Team up with a pet friend on a 7-day goal, like journaling on 3 days. Reach it together and you both get coins and a postcard of your two pets. No penalty if you don't.Pet › Co-op
What happens if I don't open the app for a while?
Nothing bad. Your pet is never punished and will be happy to see you.
Community & groups
Can I post anonymously?
Yes, turn on Post anonymously. In a group, the owner decides whether it's allowed.
Can I stop people from commenting?
Yes, turn on Disable comments when you post.
What reactions are there?

How do groups work?

How do I block or report someone?
Open the post, comment or profile and choose Report or Block. Blocked people can't see your posts or follow you, and we review every report.Manage blocksSettings › Privacy & security › Blocked users
