Launched Jadebook OSS version. It’s probably one of the most privacy-friendly journal platforms on the market since you setup your own database, and host everything on your own accounts.

Benefits

• Everything is held in Supabase, including auth, db and storage

• Get search, tags, covers, icons, transcription and uploading assets

• Mobile-responsive and available as a Progressive Web App (PWA)

• Comes with OpenAPI spec in-case you want to build something on top

• Uses NextJS so the code is fairly accessible and easy to work with

• Export/Import to and from the SaaS Jadebook platform

• You can one-click deploy it on Vercel for free

• Rich-text editor for entries

A core item on our roadmap was a page where user’s can see all their assets and delete them if they want. We’ve finally added it. It’s currently available in the settings and shows file name, file size, date uploaded and let’s you delete the asset.

It should be reminded that Jadebook should not be used as a long-term storage solution. Assets are compressed on upload and we keep these files private, eg, we generate a public url that lasts maybe an hour and then expires. You should probably use something else for file storage.

Summaries

Another feature we’ve added is AI Summaries. When you memorise a journal entry, the AI will now generate a quick summary for you.

AI Chat

The AI Chat now has access to retrieve recent entries. Eg, let’s say you had a great day, well, now the AI knows that and might congratulate you.

By default, the AI Chat will only have access to memorized entries. This is because the AI features are opt-in and the user has control over that they want to share. However, having to memorise all your entries every time seems a little annoying so there is now a toggle in the settings allowing the AI to have access to all entries.

We’re introducing a new feature called Reflective Agents. The idea is that you create pre-defined prompts to run on your journal entries. For example, we have a preset called Connection with Memory which runs the following prompt:

Use the `User Memory` if available and find connections between the memory and the journal entry

It’s fairly basic but it pretty useful. You can instantly see how your recent events, personality traits or decision making is seen in the journal entry.

You’re free to create some custom AI Agents with your own prompts. Once you run an agent, if the result is lower than 1000 characters, then you can also store it in a note as reference.

General Improvements

• Updated the Icon Sector popover UI to way less buggy (it was opening nested popovers which was annoying on mobile and caused issues with layers).

• Improved the reliability of the Memory feature

• Limited the number notes on a journal entry to 8 but increased the character limit to 1000 (up from 600).

• All AI settings have been move to a seperate settings tab

• Sidebar items have increased quite a bit so added some slight separation
