Turn your day
into a comic.
A 30-second entry becomes a 4-panel strip, starring a cast that looks like you, every time.
The problem
You mean to journal. You open the app. The blank page wins.
Or you do write. And never read it again.
Either way, by week two you've stopped.
87% of people who try a journaling app quit within the first week.*
Not because they stopped wanting to remember. Because writing is work, and the reward for doing it arrives months later, if you ever open the thing again.
The effort is on day one. The payoff is on day four hundred. Almost nothing survives that trade.
* A widely cited industry estimate. Around 8% of people keep a journal at all, and another 22% have tried and given it up.
How it works
Talk. We draw it. It's yours.
Talk for 30 seconds
Out loud or typed, whichever’s faster. No prompts to answer and no blank page to fill. Thirty seconds of rambling is genuinely enough to work with.
We break it into a script
Your entry becomes four to six beats: setting, action, a line of dialogue. The ordinary bits get left out, because a strip is a selection and not a summary of your day.
Each panel gets illustrated
Every panel is drawn against the same locked character reference, so the you in today’s strip is the you from last Tuesday. That part is the whole product, not a feature.
Your strip joins the archive
It lands in a scrollable year you’ll actually open, because it’s pictures of your life rather than paragraphs you wrote while half asleep and never read again.
Why it's different
Everyone else forgets who "you" are. We don't.
Journal-to-comic tools already exist. What none of them do is make character consistency the whole point: a strip where "you" look recognizably the same as yesterday's, building toward a cast you actually recognize.
| Other comic-journal apps | Stripkin |
|---|---|
| A new-looking character every time | The same you, strip after strip |
| A one-off image generator | A daily habit and a growing cast |
| Disposable, token-metered | A personal archive that compounds |
One honest note
You'll describe real people sometimes: partners, kids, friends. It's private by default, and we're building the guardrails around that the same way we're building everything else here: before launch, not after.
Questions
Good to know
Isn’t this just another AI comic-diary app?
A few apps already turn a journal entry into a comic panel. What none of them treat as the whole premise is character consistency: the same illustrated “you” showing up strip after strip. That’s the entire bet Stripkin is built on, not a bolt-on feature.
What if the character doesn’t look like me?
Honestly, we’re still testing this before launch. Character-consistent image generation is good enough to build on, not perfect, and it’s the first thing we’re validating before building anything else.
What happens to photos or descriptions of other people?
It’s private by default, and we’re building the guardrails around real people (partners, kids, friends) alongside the product itself, not bolting them on after launch.
How much will it cost?
There’ll be a free tier to try it. Waitlist members get early access when it opens.
When does it launch?
We’re in early testing now. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you the moment it opens.
