Known
A place to write.
A Christian journaling app powered by Claude. A warm, literary companion for reflection — write honestly about faith, doubt, grief, gratitude, anger, and everything in between.
Known is not a mental health service or a therapy tool. It is a place to write.
Signature Feature
Scripture & Faith Setting
A user-controlled depth setting that governs how much Christian language, prayer, and scripture Claude brings into every response — across all features.
Off
Fully secular. Warm and human, but entirely without faith framing or spiritual language.
Gentle
Faith-adjacent atmosphere. Christian worldview through tone and imagery — held, grace, rest, beloved — without naming God directly.
Moderate
Clearly Christian. God named naturally. Prayer language present. One scripture verse woven into each entry, never appended.
Full
Scripture-forward. Multiple verses cited. Prayer as a natural mode. The Psalms are the tonal model — honest, anguished, faithful, and direct with God.
The setting applies to journaling, Reflect outputs, and template-generated entries. Change it anytime via Settings or through natural language in conversation.
Built for Honest Writing
Every feature is designed to help you find language for what you're actually feeling — and what it means.

Hardcoded safety limits with crisis resource referrals
iCloud sync across your Apple devices
A note on safety: Known has hardcoded limits that apply at every faith level. When a hard limit is triggered, Claude acknowledges the user warmly, explains clearly what territory Known cannot enter, and provides relevant crisis resources — 988, Crisis Text Line, SAMHSA, the National Domestic Violence Hotline, or RAINN depending on the category. Known is not a therapist or a crisis tool, and the app surfaces this clearly at onboarding.
