WELCOME
Start with everything you've written.
Bring years of journals and MountainRiver reads every word — the themes, the people, the patterns. You never file, tag, or sort a thing. Then, day to day, just say it.

THE BOOK THE NEW HOUSE 2
1 — WEATHER, SENSED FROM YOUR WORDS 2 — THEMES, FOUND FOR YOU 3 — YOUR OWN OPENING LINE
JOURNAL
Journalling can be this simple.
Write or speak a line. It's read and kept — the day's weather sensed, the theme found, nothing to organise.
21 – 27 MARCH 1
A reading of your week
A quietly hopeful week — the book found a rhythm, the house began to feel like home, and one hard conversation went better than you feared.
THE THREADS THAT RAN
The book as a steadying thread — you wrote on five of seven mornings; the move settled alongside it.
WHAT MOVED2
Three runs done. Chapter one reread without flinching. You finally called Mum back.
STILL OPEN
The decision — the steady offer versus another year on your own work — named but unresolved.
1 — THE READING OF YOUR WEEK 2 — WHAT MOVED · STILL OPEN
INSIGHTS
Look back on a week, a month, a year — and really see it.
MountainRiver reads across your entries and hands back a synthesis — what ran through the days, what moved, what's still open. The patterns you couldn't see from inside any single year.

THEMES
The themes of your life, gathered in one place.
Every theme — money, work, a person — collected automatically across all you've written, sortable, with the detail underneath. Themes are the currency of MountainRiver: the element that binds it all together.
Bringing the context of the past into the present — and the future.

GOALS
Let your past help with what's next.
A goal isn't a to-do. MountainRiver connects the context of your past to what you're reaching for — across week, month, year, and dreams, each goal carrying its own themes. And paths: two or three real routes, drawn from how you've actually moved.

Do I take the offer, or give the book one more year?
THE DECISION
✦FROM YOUR OWN WRITING2
Since January, the book has shown up on your best mornings — and money has shown up on your worst nights. You wrote in February that a steady wage would “buy the quiet the book needs.” That's worth holding next to the offer.

1 — YOUR QUESTION, KEPT 2 — ANSWERED FROM YOUR OWN HISTORY
QUESTIONS
Ask your life… anything.
Ask whatever you're turning over and be answered from your own years of writing — with context and dates, grounded in your life, not the internet. Kept, and re-openable whenever you return to it.

A LETTER FROM TOMMY

With each passing year, time seems to go faster and faster. How do you notice what’s important? How do you assimilate the lessons that life has taught you? How do you make good decisions that are based on your values — and how do you achieve the goals that matter to you?

These are fascinating questions to me, and part of the reason I’ve been journaling for the last twelve years. MountainRiver is my attempt to use AI to make sense of my human life. I use it every day. It creates value for me — and I hope it will create value for you too.

Welcome to MountainRiver.
