Talk to Yourself (It’s Not Weird, I Promise)

Journaling is a great habit—but the written word has limits.

You might have stacks of journals or a digital archive full of random thoughts, but words are hard to create and easy to forget. Even your best insights can slip through the cracks, gathering dust in a notebook or buried in lost GDocs.

Enter TTYL. Instead of typing, you record quick audio thoughts, and—surprise—they come back to you at random. No searching, no filtering, just raw, honest moments from your past self, speaking to you in the present. Unlike your physical notebook, it also talks back.

Benefits of audio journaling with ttyl:

• Real emotion: Voice conveys tone and feeling.
• Spontaneous creativity: No edits, less overthinking.
• Memory boost: Hearing voices makes the moment stick.
• Push > pull: Random returns offer fresh perspective when you least expect it.
• Multiplayer mode: Record with friends or share clips with others.

Journaling is great, writing will always be important. But have you tried talking?

It’ll be an experience your future self won’t forget.
