Vesta 1.7 brings more to your wrist, a companion that listens more carefully, and a handful of fixes. Everything still stays on your device. More on your watch face Two new complications join the writing streak. One keeps the daily reflection prompt in view, so a question is always waiting when you raise your wrist. The other shows your last seven days of mood at a glance. Both stay readable on every watch face, and they no longer go blank when you open the app. Logging a mood from your wrist is more reliable too. The check in now shows the mood you last recorded, wherever you recorded it. A companion that listens more carefully When you talk with Vesta, it quietly draws on your own past entries for context. It now keeps that context to itself, and no longer mistakes something from an old entry for something you just said. It also holds a warmer, more personal tone. In languages that separate formal and informal address, Vesta now speaks to you the way a friend would, and stays that way throughout. Long conversations continue smoothly. When a conversation grows past what the on device model can hold at once, Vesta makes room quietly instead of pausing on an error. Fixes Home Screen widgets and the Share Sheet were missing on some devices running earlier versions of iOS 26. They are now available everywhere Vesta runs. In Insights, the buttons that offer to connect Apple Health and other sources now open the right place in Settings instead of doing nothing. As always, there is no account, no cloud, and no tracking. Your words never leave your device.
Vesta is a journal with a full AI companion — one that runs entirely on your iPhone. It reflects on what you write, helps you notice how you feel, and talks things through with you. Nothing leaves your device. Most journaling apps send your most private words to the cloud. Vesta doesn't. The intelligence is Apple's on-device AI, so your entries, photos, voice notes and health data are processed and stored on your phone — never uploaded, never trained on, never seen. WHAT VESTA DOES • On-device analysis — every entry is gently read for emotion, themes and a one-line summary, instantly and privately. • Talk it through — a warm, reflective conversation about any entry, by voice or text, in the style that fits your mood. • Ask your journal — “When have I felt most at peace?” Get grounded answers drawn only from your own words. • Weekly & monthly reflections — Vesta notices your patterns over time and writes you a calm recap. • Mood & emotions — one-tap check-ins and a rich emotion vocabulary, charted into insight you can feel. • Health & weather insight — see how sleep, activity and the weather quietly shape your mood. • Capture anything — photos, video, voice notes and scanned pages, with on-device transcription and text recognition. • Apple Watch — catch a mood or a quick note from your wrist; it syncs straight to your journal. • Ten languages, including the one the AI writes back in. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE • 100% on-device AI — no cloud, no AI servers. • No account, no login — we don’t know who you are. • Optional iCloud sync, end-to-end encrypted through your own iCloud — neither Vesta nor Apple can read it. • No ads, no trackers, no data brokers. FREE & PLUS Journaling, on-device analysis, mood check-ins, capture and Apple Watch are free. Vesta Plus unlocks the deeper AI: Talk, Ask, weekly/monthly/yearly reflections, Health and weather insights, and export — as a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase, with a free trial. Vesta is a calm, private place to think — not a medical service. Note: the on-device AI features require an Apple Intelligence–capable iPhone (iPhone 15 Pro or newer). Journaling, mood check-ins and capture work on all supported devices.
