BrightLog Journal Mood Tracker

Your journal stays on your phone. We never see what you write — there is no BrightLog server that could. Backups go only to your own iCloud, and only if you switch them on. BrightLog helps you find the exact word for how you feel — 82 emotions, not five faces — and then shows you what has been changing. Mood, journal, gratitude, habits, meditation and thought records, in one calm app. NAME WHAT YOU FEEL Most apps give you five faces. BrightLog gives you a three-level feelings wheel: 7 core emotions, 41 shades, 82 precise words. Proud. Defeated. Hopeful. Overwhelmed. When you can name it, you can work with it. Not sure where to start? A gentle wizard walks you there. YOUR DAILY MOOD, IN ONE TAP Open, tap how the day felt — Awesome, Good, Not sure, Bad, Terrible — and get on with your life. Add a note, a photo or a voice memo if you want to. One mood a day, no pressure, no streak-guilt. A JOURNAL THAT HOLDS THE WHOLE MOMENT Write freely, or speak and let your words land in the entry. Attach photos, videos, voice notes and documents. Come back later and add a follow-up note when your perspective changes. Search everything instantly. See your month at a glance in the calendar. QUESTION THE THOUGHT BrightLog includes a proper thought record: what happened, what you thought, the facts for, the facts against — and how it looks now. It is the same seven-column model therapists use. Learn to spot the 16 unhelpful thinking styles that quietly run the show. A POT FOR THE GOOD THINGS Gratitude deserves its own place, not a checkbox. Save a sentence, a photo, a video. Once you have ten, BrightLog greets you with one of them each day. SMALL STEPS, REAL HABITS Turn what matters into tiny daily actions. Start from nine evidence-based ideas — better sleep, lifting mood with small actions, noticing and reshaping thoughts, stepping toward what scares you, staying in touch — or build your own. Check in with one tap. Keep a gentle streak, with one forgiving freeze a month. SIT WITH IT A meditation timer with 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes, eleven calm soundtracks — rain, ocean waves, stream, campfire, forest — or silence, and sixteen on-screen prompts for breath, body scan and grounding. Everything works offline. No voice, no guru. INSIGHTS THAT ARE ACTUALLY ABOUT YOU Sign in and BrightLog quietly summarizes your month and your year in your own language: what kept coming up, what changed, what to celebrate, and one small thing to try next. Five views — Story, Heatmap, Trend, Wheel and Mood: your year in pixels, a whole year of your days as a grid of color. Export any of it as a PDF. WALK IN PREPARED Before your next session, build a six-part summary from any date range and take it with you as a PDF. Your therapist gets the pattern, not just the worst day. And if you are still looking, the Experts tab finds psychologists, psychotherapists and counsellors near you — real listings, ranked by distance, never by who paid. THIRTY BADGES, NOBODY WATCHING Quiet milestones for showing up. No leaderboards, no comparisons, no sharing. They are yours. PRIVACY, PLAINLY Your entries live on your device. There is no BrightLog account holding your words, and no BrightLog server that receives them — we never see what you write. Backups go to your own iCloud, not to us. AI insights are optional and only ever send the text you ask BrightLog to analyze — never your photos, voice notes, documents or files. Lock the whole thing behind Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Three widgets: log today's mood with one tap on a face, keep your streak in sight, and see today's tasks — without opening the app. GOOD FOR - Naming feelings you cannot quite place - Tracking mood through anxiety, stress or a hard season - Building a gratitude habit that survives past week two - Preparing for therapy and remembering what actually happened BrightLog speaks 20 languages and works on iPhone and iPad.
