Beheld

The companion's personal writing just got steadier: distance and landmarks lead, and quiet days stay quiet. Free to use; a one-time purchase adds personal AI writing.

A self-writing movement journal for iPhone. Every morning, a nameless companion writes about how you moved through the world the day before - in landmarks, not numbers.

WHAT THE COMPANION WRITES

Statements. Not prompts, not questions, not goals. The companion uses mode-neutral verbs (covered, went, gained, returned) so the journal works for any way you move through the world. Distance and landmarks lead; steps and pushes are supporting detail.

On an ordinary day: "The length of Central Park. Two kilometers, folded into yesterday."

On rest: "About a kilometer went into yesterday. Rest stayed part of the record."

On a milestone: "Kilimanjaro's height, gained yesterday. The rise was there before anyone thought to count it."

POSTCARDS

When a milestone appears in the record, Beheld turns the distance into an illustrated postcard and leaves it in the journal. On eligible iPhones, paid Personalization users receive postcards generated on the device for the milestone at hand. Otherwise, Beheld quietly uses one of the bundled illustrations.

SENT

A milestone postcard can leave the journal: as an iMessage, to one friend, with its caption beneath it. Once. To one person. Beheld doesn't see who.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Beheld reads Apple Health on the iPhone and writes there. Your movement history is not uploaded to Beheld, an ad network, or any server. Personalized writing and postcard images are generated on the device through Apple's Foundation Models and Image Playground. There is no account. No external analytics. No third-party SDKs.

FREE, THEN PERSONAL

The free version keeps writing every morning - no subscription, no time limit. A one-time Personalization purchase adds the personal writing, and the companion begins to write about your movement in more specific ways.

One-time purchase. No subscription. No ads. No upsells.

Requires iPhone with iOS 26 or later. Personal AI writing requires an Apple Intelligence-capable iPhone; generated postcard images require Image Playground.
