MySamantha vs Journey

Journey is a dedicated journaling app. MySamantha is a personal workspace with journaling inside.

Journey offers polished, media-rich journaling across platforms, with guided programs for building the habit. MySamantha keeps journaling close to everything else: Notes, Tasks, Email and Calendar in the same product, with an optional assistant.

Walked the long way round the Heath before work. Finally told Theo I can't take the March project, and it felt fine.

Which one fits how you work.

Choose Journey if…

You want a dedicated journaling app with guided programs and entries synced across every platform you use.

Our table covers the features MySamantha is built around. Journey's strengths are in its depth, which a row of marks doesn't capture.

Choose MySamantha if…

You want journal entries to sit beside your notes, tasks, inbox and calendar, and you want to decide whether AI is part of your reflection at all.

The architectural difference

Journey is built entirely around the journal. MySamantha builds the journal into a wider workspace, so reflection and the rest of your day share one home.

A private journal, not a training set.

Write or speak, attach photographs, look back by day. Samantha only reads a journal entry when you ask her to.

Make reflection part of your day.

MySamantha keeps journaling private and close to the rest of your day, with AI insights available only when you want them.

  • Samantha remembers for you.

    Ask her for the entry about last week, and she can find it for you.

  • Your days, in one glance.

    A clean calendar view that shows every entry, mood and moment without digging.

  • Lock it and move on.

    Your journal stays protected with your device lock, private and yours.

  • Capture the moment.

    Attach photos, screenshots or memories.

Moving over from Journey.

  • Your journal stays personal

    It lives in your personal space and never moves into a shared workspace.

  • Run both while you decide

    Many people keep Journey going while they settle in. Bring existing work into MySamantha at your own pace.

Can I use MySamantha alongside Journey?

Yes. Many people run both while they decide. Import tools and integrations help you bring existing work into MySamantha at your own pace.

How does pricing work?

Your plan pays for the MySamantha software. AI usage is separate: use supported AI access you already have, bring your own key, pay as you go, or turn AI off.

Do I have to use the AI?

No. Turn AI off and MySamantha remains a workspace for Notes, Tasks and Journal without AI features.

Try MySamantha next to Journey.

Start with the part you'd compare first. The rest of the workspace is there when you want it, and AI stays optional throughout.
