What is Pile?

Desktop app for reflective journaling. It's private, integrates with AI, and free. Pile is a journaling app centered around personal reflection and thought development.

Here's how it works

  1. Start by creating a new Pile.
  2. Make your first entry: Pile is ideal for journaling in bursts– type down what you're thinking right now, come back to it over time.
  3. Highlight entries by clicking on the dots.
  4. Edit or delete any entry by clicking on its timestamp.
  5. Use the AI reflections: Signup for an OpenAI API key with gpt-4 access and add it to Pile.
