Hi! Happy Monday! It's time to dive into some new products. In today’s digest, I’m covering a journaling app with one exciting twist. But first…

The headlines: 

📱 According to rumors, Apple may be working on an ‘air’ version of the iPhone.

📹 Google’s AI video creation tool is rolling out to more users.

🤝 Meta and UMG have signed an agreement for AI monetization and more.

Journaling is one of those habits humans have been practicing since time began. Whether it’s ancient paintings on a piece of rock or a hidden-away diary detailing your high school years, jotting your thoughts down is a profoundly human activity. 

Since tech, and especially the smartphone, journaling has gotten an upgrade. Look at how many different apps exist, each with a unique take on making it more enjoyable. One of them is Reverie. 

Reverie flips the script on its head a little. Instead of remembering to open the app every day, the app calls you. Once you pick up, you can chat with it like a friend, telling it about your day, any ups and downs, and things you’re dealing with—no need to type it out. Reverie will continue listening until you’re done, and from there, it will process your words and turn them into a structured journal entry. 

Once you’re done, you can review your entry and make any necessary edits. Reverie will automatically pull out themes, highlights, and even surface insights you might not have realized. 

If journaling is something you’ve wanted to do for a while but have struggled to get into, Noah Little, the founder of Reverie, is offering fifty percent off for one month to celebrate its launch. 

Pegada is an app designed to help you find playmates, companions, or breeding partners for your dogs. You can filter by breed, size, location, and more to find the perfect companion. Let's dive into its tech stack: 

First up is Expo, an open-source platform for building native apps. The Pegada team loves it for its simple user experience.

“The project is completely built using Expo! It greatly simplifies DX and provides awesome tooling.”

Amplitude helps founders and product teams retrieve data and insights to help grow. Pegada uses it to determine what moves to make and if they are on the right track. 

“Amplitude is how we track usage and know if we are on the right track. It is hard to measure success without great observability.”

Revenue Cat is an in-app subscription management tool that companies like Notion and VSCO use. Pegada is no different. 

“RevenueCat is the thing that ties our Subscriptions/Payments together! It would be a mess without it.”

PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS 

Recap generates an email roundup of your recent notes and bookmarks. Get your "read it later" content sent to your email when you'll actually read it.

Timebox is a daily deep work planner based on Cal Newport's timeboxing method. It includes a drag-and-drop scheduler, to-do lists, an accountability tracker, and more. 

DEVELOPER TOOLS 

Glimpse automatically deploys GitHub pull requests to preview environments using Laravel Forge, enabling developers to quickly and easily see how changes will look and function.

Langtrace AI is an open-source observability tool that helps monitor, evaluate, and improve your LLM apps.
