Kintsugi

Kintsugi has been critical to my mindfulness practice. Voice journaling offers me an opportunity to share my thoughts and feelings without judgement. I don't need to worry about how it may sound to the listener, whether it may be that I'm rambling or how I'm feeling about any specific experience or topic. I can fully express myself -- and express a lot! -- in a few minutes. When I read the transcribed text, I have the opportunity to reflect on those feelings and why I'm feeling that way. I really love the insights the app provides about my emotions too. Sometimes, I may not be as aware of how I may be feeling or how certain topics have been coming up in my life. Voice journaling gives me that chance to articulate and acknowledge my experiences and feelings. That my experiences and feelings are valid and I shouldn't in any way feel guilty or ashamed of them. I have continued to cultivate more self-compassion and self-awareness through Kintsugi. It's been such a great complement to using Calm, my go-to daily mindfulness app to listen for insights from a seasoned practitioner, and Kintsugi for me to vocalize those insights and become the practitioner. I highly recommend the Kintsugi app!!

Kintsugi was recommended to me at a time I was having one of my “low” days. I started using it right away, and I love it. As a deeply reflective person, it’s a great way for me to take what’s happening in my head and talk it through or write it down in a safe, non-judgmental “place”. Kintsugi also provides the opportunity to easily refer back to my entries when I need to so I can track my wellness and understand what triggers my low points. Being able to go back and see my history gives me additional insights that help me to better understand myself, further allowing me to practice improved self-care. My thoughts are deeply tied to my mental well-being. Understanding my thoughts are key. This voice journaling app makes it convenient and easy to capture my thoughts and feelings, and to give them more context. I would recommend the Kintsugi voice journaling app to anyone, especially those who want to better understand themselves and take control of their wellbeing.

My life has become a bit chaotic in my current job and sometimes I feel it’s better to just listen and understand my personal thoughts. I would like to keep a diary, but just can’t seem to carry it everywhere with me, thus Kintsugi to my rescue. The app is super easy to use, mostly I log in my thoughts before I sit to meditate and then log in my feelings again after meditation. It is pretty secure in regards to my privacy and definitely feel it helps me store my thoughts in one place and allows me to go back and listen once again to my positive thoughts during times when I feel low.

I started using the app today and it is ok. I don’t know how much I’ll use it or if it is helpful, yet. A few things are broken, though. When journaling from voice it seems slow and choppy and not great. If you try to edit by hand beware sometimes it puts a capital letter when you start typing. It also puts in space before the period sometimes for some reason. And during a journaling, it crashed, which was upsetting because this is supposed to be acting like a committed listener. It REALLY can’t crash like that during trying to open myself up. :/ The community section is interesting and could definitely help me with its best content but it seems someone aggressively filled their journaling entry instead with static unwanted bible verses and when I went to skip it the app instead took it as a THANKS which I definitely didn’t want to send. There appears to be no way to undo a “Thanks”. I am also wondering if there should be a button to send a warning to the app maker about the content of the community shares.

I have multiple meditation, emotions tracking apps on my phone and this one is pretty special. My fav parts are the inspirations. I love reading them and feel very connected with other users. Their feelings resonates. And I want to publish mine as well. The audio recording part is very unique. No other app has it. I find it pretty convenient, but it’s not the reason I use it daily. I just love the inspirations and feeling I am not alone.
