A journaling app built on questions, not advice.
Sotie follows the product's core mechanic exactly: write freely, then go deeper through one short question at a time.
For people who do not want an AI to tell them what to do, but do want help seeing what they could not see alone.

Why questions can be more useful than prompts
Prompts can help you start. Sotie's difference is what happens next: it reacts to what you actually wrote, so the reflection feels more specific, more direct, and more honest.
What Sotie is trying to do
Sotie is not trying to become another assistant that tells you what to do. It is trying to become the journal that asks the one question no one else would — the one that helps things finally click.
Questions people still have
What does Socratic journaling mean in practice?
In practice, it means the app does not coach or analyze. It asks direct follow-up questions that help you uncover what you already know but have not fully seen yet.
Who is this style useful for?
It is useful for people who journal, overthink, loop on feelings, or struggle to name what is really wrong and want more than a blank page.
