# About Leeway

> Leeway is an AI voice journal for iPhone, built by Tanel Petelot and Thomas Bru. You talk for a couple of minutes in the evening; Leeway names what you felt, shows how much room you have left, and keeps one small step for tomorrow. It opens on iPhone first.

## Why we are building it

Tanel and Thomas kept running into the same evening. The day was over, but it was still going in their heads. Journaling helped on the nights they managed it, which was not often: a blank page at eleven at night is one more task.

Talking was easier. Two minutes out loud, and things already felt less tangled. What was missing was the other half: something that listens, tells you what you were actually feeling, and leaves you with one small thing to try tomorrow.

So they started building it together. That is Leeway.

## Not the other Leeway apps

Other apps on the App Store also use the name Leeway, such as a time budget planner or an AI usage tracker. They are not related to us. This Leeway is the AI voice journal at joinleeway.app, @joinleeway on Instagram and TikTok.
