What it does

UnderSurface is a journaling app where inner voices respond to your writing in real time. You type. You pause. An inner part reacts.

It works in any browser and is multilingual. Strict privacy, export and account controls. Built as a solo project because I kept abandoning my own journal entries the moment they got real.
