Rosebud
AI journaling app built for people already in therapy, with long-term memory and therapist-ready weekly reports.
About
Rosebud is an AI journaling app designed for one specific user: someone already in therapy who wants to do more between sessions. Its AI keeps long-term memory across months of entries, asks reflective follow-up questions, and generates weekly PDF reports organized around insight patterns for the therapy room. Prompts were developed with therapists around named modalities like CBT, ACT, IFS, and somatic work, and mood tracking runs throughout.
Rosebud retired its free plan on September 30, 2026; access now runs on the Bloom plan at $12.99 a month or $107.99 a year after a trial. The vendor reports that 64 percent of users saw depression symptoms improve and 60 percent saw anxiety symptoms improve after seven days of regular use, with a 4.9 App Store rating. Those figures are self-reported vendor data, not peer-reviewed research, and the app does not claim end-to-end encryption.

Trust score — 6/10
Scored 6/10 (TIER metrics, metrics-v1). Evidence: the vendor blog confirms the therapy-focused positioning, the $12.99/month Bloom pricing, and the September 2026 free-plan retirement; the 64/60 percent improvement figures are vendor-reported. Strengths: sharp therapy-adjunct positioning, therapist-designed prompts, strong 4.9 App Store rating. Docked for: (1) efficacy figures are self-reported vendor data with no peer-reviewed study found; (2) no end-to-end encryption claim, sensitive journal content by nature. License: proprietary.
