Rin, marketed as Notes That Talk with You, is a mobile journaling app that pairs daily writing with an AI coach designed by a professional coach. The idea is simple: people often feel understood after confiding in an AI, yet still do not know what to do next. The app tries to close that gap by learning what matters to the user from their own notes and then helping them find a concrete next step. In practice, the user starts with a daily prompt or just a few words about their day and feelings. Saved entries and answers gradually feed a values map, built on the developers' own framework of eight axes and 16 types that draws on Schwartz's theory of basic human values. Results appear as radar and bar charts, so changes can be reviewed over time. The makers stress that the map is a tool for reflection, not a test of who is better or right. The AI coach draws on notes, the values map and earlier conversations, and leans on questions more than advice, leaving room for users to notice their own answers. Guided conversations called Works let people explore a theme at their own pace, either from a coach suggestion or from a library. Some Works are free and others require the Notes+ tier. A comparison feature lets two people set their values maps side by side and receive hints for relating to each other. Only value axes and type are shared; notes and coach conversations stay private. The app suits people who want a reflective habit, who tend to ruminate at night, or who are working through career and relationship questions. It sits between plain digital journals and general-purpose chatbots, offering more structure and continuity than either. It is not presented as therapy, and it is available on iOS and Android with free basic features and in-app purchases.
