I’m building Historic, a private AI video journal for founders.

You record short morning, evening, or ad hoc sessions, and it transcribes and indexes them into a searchable archive of your thinking. It uses simple Apple Fitness–style rings to encourage consistency, plus monthly insight reports and suggested “build in public” posts.

I built it because notes apps weren’t capturing my thinking in full fidelity. Using Reflect I averaged ~65k words per year. With Historic I logged ~85k words in one month.

Your thoughts are already your most valuable asset. Historic just makes them accessible.

I’m using Whisper Memos (https://whispermemos.com) for this exact use case - is this meant to be a more tailored version specifically for founders?
