MindHarbor

A ChatGPT conversation Skill · Free and open source

Talk it out after work.
Leave with your thoughts in order.

MindHarbor turns ChatGPT into a friend you can talk to. Switch on voice and chat while you watch a show, drifting from small talk to work stress without a stream of questions getting in the way. When you want, it turns the conversation into a journal entry.

Start in ChatGPT View on GitHub

Works in English and Traditional Chinese. No coding and no other apps needed.

Voice chat
Worked late again. Mind if I chat while I watch some anime?
Long day. What are you watching? Let's unwind first, and we can get to work stuff if you feel like it.
An isekai one. Honestly I'm a bit worried AI will make jobs harder to find.
That's a real worry. Is it more about your current job, or where things are heading long term?
Both, I guess. Could you write down how I'm feeling today?
Sure. I'll turn what we talked about into a journal entry for you to read.

What it does

Not a questionnaire, and not a therapy session. Just someone who listens and keeps up with the conversation.

Talks like a friend

From anime and everyday life to work and the bigger questions, with no modes to switch. It follows your pace and doesn't treat every sentence as a problem to fix.

Just switch on voice

With ChatGPT voice mode you can talk on the way home, while doing the dishes, or during a show, without typing.

Writes your journal

When you ask, it turns the conversation into a journal entry. It only uses what you actually talked about and never makes things up.

Privacy and boundaries

Talking about how you feel should feel safe. These principles are built into MindHarbor from the start.

  • It never saves your conversations or journal to Notion, Google Drive, or any other service without your clear permission.
  • Journal entries only use what you shared. It doesn't invent events that didn't happen.
  • Your conversations stay in your own ChatGPT account. MindHarbor itself collects no data.
  • MindHarbor is not therapy, diagnosis, or a medical service, and it can't replace professional help.
