Safe Space is a private journaling app for BukSU students. Express yourself through text or voice, and let Safe Space see the emotions driving your thoughts, and get a clear picture of how you're feeling over time.

Two ways to express

Write it. Or say it.

✍️ Text Journal

Text Mode

Type your thoughts and let Safe Space detect the emotion behind every entry. Clean. Quiet. No mic required.

🏠 Best in shared spaces — boarding houses, study rooms, or dorms where speaking aloud just isn't an option
πŸŽ™οΈ Voice Journal

Voice Mode

Record your feelings aloud. On-device AI transcribes your voice and reads the emotion behind your words — arousal, valence, dominance, and all.

πŸ”‡ Best when you're alone and free to speak β€” let it all out

Safe Space uses on-device intelligence to detect emotions and be empathetic.1

emotion

Your entry shows sadness.

We detected that you may be feeling sad and heavy-hearted right now. It's okay to sit with that feeling, and you don't have to push it away.

I hear you. Sometimes sadness just needs to be felt, not fixed. Be gentle with yourself today, and you don't have to have it all together right now.

Point of You.

State of Mind is a feature that turns your last few entries into a simple snapshot of how your week really felt.

Privacy First

All the feels.
None of the leaks.

Safe Space runs entirely on your device. Your raw entries, recordings, and emotion data are encrypted at rest and stay away from third-party servers β€” so you can write without watching your back.

Safe Space works on your own device. Your journal entries, voice notes, and emotion results are locked and stored locally. We do not send them to outside servers, so you can write with more peace of mind.

End-to-end encryption
Journal text, emotions, and voice transcriptions are encrypted in your local database β€” unreadable without your credentials.

Optional & Anonymous

Share a little.
Help a lot.

Optionally share anonymous "State of Mind" snapshots to help the guidance office understand how students are really doing. Your personal entries will never leave your device β€” staff only see trends, not names or journals.

Footnotes

  1. Demo shows the actual result of Safe Space. The model being used in the illustration is "Helping AI", which is one of our best models for empathy. Results may vary when using our in-house, CPU-friendly models such as Safe Space and T5. Helping AI model requires additional hardware such as GPU. Time to generate a response also varies between models and entry.
  2. To improve system performance and results, we recommend using a GPU with CUDA (NVIDIA) or MPS (Apple Silicon) support. Helping AI, which is one of our best models for empathy, requires a GPU. It's okay if you don't have a GPU, we still have CPU-friendly models to choose from (such as Safe Space and T5).
  3. Safe Space has been tested on Intel Core processors from the 4th Generation onward. While the application may operate on earlier generations, optimal performance is observed on 8th Generation Intel Core i5 or equivalent processors. For best results, an 8th Generation or newer processor is recommended.
