Unpack Journal
Voice journaling after the page is scanned
Unpack is not a standalone voice journal app. The experience starts when you scan a handwritten journal entry into tangents. Voice is there for what happens next: continuing a tangent when speaking is easier than writing.
Start with the handwritten entry
The raw page comes first because emotional release matters. Once Unpack has scanned the entry and organized its tangents, you can keep reflecting inside the thread that needs more attention.
Use voice to keep unpacking
If your thoughts move faster than your hand, voice gives you a lower-friction way to continue the conversation with a tangent. It is not replacing the journal entry; it is helping you stay with what the entry surfaced.
Keep the reflection connected
Voice reflections stay connected to the tangent, so they can live alongside prompts, insights, emotion trends, and your Archive instead of becoming a loose audio note you never revisit.
Common questions
Can I start a new Unpack entry with voice?
No. Unpack starts from scanning a journal entry. Voice journaling is a feature for continuing reflection inside tangents after the entry exists.
When should I use voice in Unpack?
Use voice when a tangent is already open and speaking helps you keep reflecting, especially when typing or writing feels too slow.
