Show HN: Echologue – the private AI voice journal I built for myself

I have tried journaling many times but nothing stuck. So I decided to make my own app for myself with these features: * Voice first * Private first * AI chat * Automatic tagging, meaning extraction, and semantic retrieval using embeddings stored locally * Export to LLM the AI angle is especially interesting for me. It allows me to ask questions like: * "remind me highlights and crazy nights in the last 3 months" * "How was I feeling during my trip in Spain and how big of a problem was my breakup" * "How would you judge my overall interactions with Marc after I told him about my problems" the overall process is fire and forget. I just talk for let's say a minute every day or when there was something of interest. Everything is stored on device. The AI inference is done with Zero Data Retention Endpoints. No email or anything else is kept, you are completely anonymous, I have no idea what or how people use this. Otherwise journaling doesn't work. I can't say my secret thoughts when I know someone has a master key or can suffer a security breach. I hope you enjoy the product as much as I do.
