ThirdPerson — See your story from a new perspective
ThirdPerson is a diary app designed to help you reflect with greater clarity and distance. Write naturally in your own words, then let ThirdPerson transform your entry into a third-person narrative using your name and pronouns.
By reading about yourself as the subject of the story, you can revisit experiences from a fresh perspective, recognize patterns, and approach difficult moments with more objectivity and self-compassion.
How it works
- Write a full diary entry, paste one from your clipboard, or collect quick thoughts throughout the day with Snippets.
- Choose a date and mood color to give the moment context.
- Process your notes using on-device Apple Intelligence when available, or choose online AI processing.
- Revisit the rewritten story, a short summary, automatically generated tags, or your original words whenever you like.
Features
• Third-person rewriting
Transform personal diary entries into reflective stories written using your chosen name and pronouns.
• Snippets
Capture small thoughts and moments as they happen, then combine the day’s notes into one complete diary entry.
• Two processing options
Use Apple Intelligence for private on-device processing when supported, or choose an online AI model for processing over the internet.
• Story Mode
Read entries from any selected date range as summaries, complete third-person stories, or original text. Choose a continuous scrolling view or browse one entry at a time in Book mode.
• Powerful search
Find memories by generated tags or summary text. On supported devices, Advanced Search turns natural descriptions—such as “days when I felt proud”—into related tags.

Add a color to each entry to create a visual record of the moment. Colors can be changed later.
• Original and rewritten views
Switch between your original entry and its third-person version at any time.

Create a new version of an existing entry and choose whether to keep or discard the result.

Each processed entry includes a concise summary and searchable tags to make past moments easier to rediscover.
• Home Screen widget
Keep a meaningful reflection nearby. Display your latest entry, an entry from the current month, or a memory from your complete archive.
• Daily reminders
Choose a time to receive a gentle reminder to write.

Share an individual entry or a collection of stories from a selected date range.
• iCloud synchronization
Keep your diary available through your private iCloud account.
• Personalized experience
Set the name and pronouns used in your stories and choose from alternate app icons.
Your days are more than a collection of events—they are chapters in an unfolding story. ThirdPerson helps you step outside the moment, look back with perspective, and understand that story more clearly.
Sometimes, a little distance makes everything easier to see.
