A private journal
Tell Claude, ChatGPT or Grok about your day. StoryVault keeps it privately, in your own words, so any of them can remember it with you later. And one day, it’s a book.
Invite-only beta · Saving is free · Already in? · Private by design · Not therapy, not a chatbot
Tuesday · July 28
Work ran late again and I almost skipped the gym, but I went anyway — twenty minutes, nothing heroic. Weirdly that was the best part of the day.
Dinner was loud in the good way. Sam told the story about the frog again and everyone still laughed. I want to remember that the tired days count too.
Nothing added, nothing invented. Fragments smoothed, your phrasing kept. Hard days stay hard. If you didn’t say it, it isn’t in your journal.
Why the journal is empty
So StoryVault doesn’t ask you for a page. It asks for the mess — and writes the page from it.
How it works
Ritual beats novelty — that’s how a habit survives.
Open StoryVault and start typing — or start telling Claude, ChatGPT or Grok, in a chat or in their voice mode.
Fragments, typos, trailing off. No questions interrupt you, no AI fills the silence. No performance.
One button, or one “save it” to your AI. Your words are safe the moment they land — the page can wait.
Your entry is written and waiting — every time, even on the thin days.
And when you miss a week, nothing breaks. StoryVault counts the days you showed up — never the days you didn’t. One honest line counts.
However the day comes out of you, it lands in the same private journal.
At a keyboard or in your phone’s browser? Dump it in writing — fragments, no punctuation, whatever. Or tap Speak it and let your browser take dictation, where it supports it.
Tell Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok about your day mid-conversation. It saves the entry to StoryVault, and it can finish the page with you.
Talk it through in your AI app’s own voice mode — the commute, the walk, the lights-out debrief. When you’re done, ask it to save the entry to StoryVault — in your words.
Bring your own AI
Your AI forgets, or keeps its memory in one app. StoryVault is the part that stays: one private journal that Claude, ChatGPT and Grok can all write to and look back through. It speaks the Model Context Protocol — the open standard assistants use to connect to outside tools. Connect once.
Ask Claude to save tonight’s entry mid-conversation. Later, ask ChatGPT “what was I worried about last spring?” or Grok “when did I last see Dad?” — it searches your own entries and answers from what you actually wrote. Whatever assistant is open, it’s the same private journal as everything you type in StoryVault.

Copies a setup prompt — paste it into your assistant and it walks you through the rest. No API keys, ever.
You, to Claude “Long day. Save this as tonight’s entry — the meeting mess, and the walk after.” → journal_dump ✓ saved “The meeting, then the walk”
You, to ChatGPT “What was I worried about this time last month?” → remember ✓ 3 entries from late June
You, to either “Load my StoryVault skill and journal with me.” → echo_skill ✓ dump first, one question at a time
MCP isn’t our invention — it’s how Claude, ChatGPT, and a growing list of assistants connect to tools. You’re never locked to one AI.
Connecting uses OAuth: your assistant sends you to StoryVault’s own sign-in page. Access is scoped to your journal and expires weekly unless renewed.
Your assistant asks before it reads or writes, and you can disconnect in one click — from your AI’s settings or by revoking access on StoryVault.
Most apps only take your words in. StoryVault hands them back — as a voice your AI can borrow, and as a book you can hold.
StoryVault learns your pen from real entries — your phrasing, your humor, your bluntness. Not a quiz, just how you actually write. Your connected AI can load that voice and draft anything with it: the email you’ve been avoiding, a toast, a hard text. It sounds like you, because it learned from you.
“Hey Mark — I’ll be straight with you: the timeline slipped, and that’s on me. Here’s what I’m doing about it…”
Your journal doesn’t have to stay digital. Pick a season of entries, add a dedication, choose a cover — StoryVault typesets a real printed book, photos included, and ships it to your house. The tired Tuesdays become something your grandkids can pull off a shelf.
Privacy
The plain-language version — the full policy says the same thing in more words.
An honest boundary
It won’t diagnose you, coach you, or dig into your childhood. It listens, then it writes — that’s the whole job. If you’re in crisis, StoryVault will tell you plainly that it’s the wrong tool and point you to people who can actually help. We think a journal you trust starts with a company that doesn’t pretend.
You dump when you’re ready — nobody interviews you for fifteen minutes.
You leave with a journal entry, not a transcript of a therapy chat.
A daily ritual and a history you can hold — not a pile of notes.
Your AI can help; StoryVault keeps. The entry lives in your journal, not in one app’s chat log.
StoryVault is in a small invite-only beta. If you have an account, sign in. If you’d like one, join the waitlist — we add people a few at a time, on purpose.
