Daimon: The AI App That Gives You Honest Advice
Daimon is a personal AI app for iPhone and Android built around one idea: honest advice. Its makers describe it as an assistant that “remembers everything about you” and gives “honest advice, no sugar-coating” on decisions, relationships, career and daily life. It also checks in on you, captures notes and reminders, and brings things back up when they’re useful. Daimon is made by Prospinity Inc. and is free to download, with a paid Pro tier.
The quick answer: Daimon is a popular advice and companion app, with a 4.9 rating from about 89,000 App Store ratings. It’s best thought of as a thinking partner that remembers you and pushes back, not an agent that does tasks for you. A disclosure: we make Carly, an AI assistant that handles email, calendars and calls, which is a different kind of product. We’ve kept to Daimon’s own pages and its App Store listing.

What Daimon does
Daimon’s site sets it against general chatbots. “Unlike generic chatbots that answer questions, Daimon builds a persistent memory of who you are: your patterns, your history, your goals. Then it uses that memory to give you honest advice instead of telling you what you want to hear.”
Its main features:
- Honest advice. “No sugar-coating, no yes-man behavior.” Daimon is designed to challenge you when you’re stuck rather than agree with everything you say.
- Memory. It “remembers your conversations and notices patterns over time,” and uses that history in later advice.
- Accountability. Its App Store listing says it can “challenge you when you’re stuck, help you think clearer, and keep you moving toward what you care about,” and reviewers say it checks in on them.
- Notes and reminders. Its App Store listing calls it “a place for your thoughts”: you capture quick notes, ideas, reminders and moments, and it “organizes them and brings things back up when they’re useful.”
The listing describes Daimon as “a living AI that learns, remembers, and helps you become your best self.” It “gets your vibe, remembers what matters, and reflects you back with honesty.”
How popular it is
Daimon has a large following for a young app. Its site claims more than 500 million messages sent and more than 75,000 five-star reviews. On the App Store, it had a 4.9 rating from about 89,000 ratings when we checked, and ranked #142 in the Lifestyle category. The message count is Daimon’s own figure; the rating is from the store.
What users say
The App Store reviews we read were largely positive, and the most useful ones were specific about what Daimon is and isn’t good for.
Many people use it as a sounding board. One reviewer called it “My Go To Vent Buddy” and wrote that “my Daimon feels like an actual friend not a robot giving generic responses. It remembers stuff I’ve told it, checks in on me.”
Others were more measured. One called it “great but not terrific,” saying it “still waffles like most ai’s” and isn’t always correct, but is “fairly accurate for day to day questions.” That reviewer used it to plan their day, find recipes and convert measurements, and for weather and reminders.
Another reviewer made a point worth repeating: Daimon “gives you clear advice on certain topics in order best help you in your everyday life. But it not therapy, which is something I tried to use it for.” For anyone dealing with something serious, a licensed professional is the right place to start, and Daimon’s 16+ age rating reflects that it’s a general advice app.
Plans
Daimon is free to download, and its site says it’s “free to chat in most countries.” The App Store lists two in-app subscriptions for Daimon Pro: $5.99 a week or $9.99 a month. Its site doesn’t spell out exactly what Pro adds over the free version.
The company behind it
Daimon is built by Prospinity Inc., which also goes by The Daimon Company. According to Crunchbase, Prospinity previously built technical and legal infrastructure for “success pools,” where groups of people share a slice of their future earnings. Public funding trackers list a seed round of about $2 million from investors including Slow Ventures, though the exact figures vary by source.
Privacy
Daimon’s App Store listing shows the developer indicated the app may handle usage data, and links to its privacy policy. Because Daimon’s whole value comes from remembering personal details about your life, relationships and goals, it’s worth reading that policy before sharing anything you’d consider sensitive.
How Daimon compares
Daimon belongs to a different group from most AI assistants. Products like ChatGPT and Claude answer questions, task agents like Poke and Boski carry out errands, and companion apps like Daimon focus on knowing you and talking things through. Daimon’s specific angle is candor: it’s built to disagree with you when that’s useful.
If what you need is an assistant that takes work off your plate, such as sorting your email, booking meetings or returning calls, that’s a different tool. Carly handles that, labeling and sorting email across all your accounts by your rules, managing your calendar, and making and answering phone calls and texts, from inside ChatGPT or Claude or by text. Our guides to AI assistants you can text and the best AI personal assistants cover task-focused options.
Who Daimon suits
Daimon is a good fit if:
- You want a sounding board that remembers your history and gives you straight answers.
- You like the idea of an AI that checks in on you and keeps you accountable.
- You want a place to capture thoughts and reminders that resurface later.
Look elsewhere if:
- You need an agent that takes actions for you, like booking, emailing or calling.
- You’re looking for therapy or medical advice.
- You’d rather not share personal details with an app.

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
