A New Kind of Journal App — Reconnect with Your Past Self

Furikaeri Diary is a journaling app that randomly shows your past entries, helping you rediscover forgotten memories, thoughts, and insights.

Unlike traditional journal apps that you reread in chronological order, Furikaeri Diary brings up your past records like a chance encounter. “Wow, I used to think like this.” “So that’s how I felt that day.” These small discoveries can make your everyday life feel a little more special.

What Makes Furikaeri Diary Special

Most journal apps focus on “writing.” Furikaeri Diary is designed around the experience of rereading.

Even if we write journals, we rarely look back. But past records are filled with clues, insights, and lessons for who you are today.

With random entries, your past writing appears like a letter from your former self, arriving unexpectedly at the right time.

A little each day, you get to talk with your past self. Try this new journaling experience for yourself.
