Eristotle vs Rosebud
Choosing between data sovereignty and a managed AI therapist.
The Sovereignty Difference
Rosebud is a powerful tool for therapeutic reflection. But it's a "managed" experience where the developer chooses the AI and stores your most intimate data on their servers. Eristotle is built for the "admin" of their own mind.
| Feature | Rosebud | Eristotle |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Vibe | The AI Therapist | The Private Intelligence Tool |
| AI Architecture | Proprietary Server-side | BYOK (GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, etc.) |
| Data Storage | Firebase (Centralized) | iCloud (Decentralized) |
| Data Ownership | Controlled by App Developer | Controlled by User |
| Voice Interface | AI Voice Journaling | Low-Latency ElevenLabs Voice |
| Long-Term Memory | Pattern Recognition | Smart Search / Personal RAG |
iCloud vs. Firebase
Rosebud stores your data on Firebase, a centralized cloud database. Eristotle never "touches" your data in a way that requires a central server. Your journal stays in your private iCloud. You own the vault; we just provide the tools to unlock its potential.
BYOK: Bring Your Own Key
With Eristotle, you aren't locked into a single AI model or a subscription markup. By bringing your own API key, you choose the "brain" (Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude) and ensure that your data is never used for training global models.
