Onsen

AI companion for mental health, journaling and self-reflection

About Onsen

Onsen is an AI companion app for mental wellbeing that offers 24/7 supportive conversation, guided self-reflection experiences, and an AI journal that turns chats into entries with mood analysis and generated artwork. It remembers your story across sessions and supports voice conversations, while clearly positioning itself as a companion rather than a therapist.
