Meet your shadow. Become whole. Umbra is the first shadow work journal that gives you an actual journey — not just a random daily prompt. Four progressive phases, guided by Jungian methodology, take you from awareness to integration to growth. Most shadow work apps recycle the same 50 prompts forever. Umbra organizes 120+ curated prompts into a structured path so you always know where you are and where you're going. WHY UMBRA IS DIFFERENT - A real four-phase journey: Awareness → Acknowledgment → Integration → Growth - 120+ shadow work prompts, each with psychological context explaining why it matters - An archetype quiz that personalizes your starting track — Achiever, Avoider, Caretaker, or Seeker - Streak tracking that makes daily reflection a ritual, not a chore - Beautiful Breakthrough Cards designed for Instagram and TikTok — share your insights, not your private writing - Phase completion celebrations that mark real psychological milestones - Calendar heatmap so you can see your inner work over weeks and months PRIVACY Your journal entries live on your device. To generate the Shadow Mirror reflection after each entry, the app sends your prompt and entry to Anthropic's Claude (via the Poe API gateway, through our secure Cloudflare proxy). Anthropic does not use API data to train their models. Nothing is sold, nothing is shared with advertisers, and you can use the app fully without an account. Export every entry to PDF whenever you like. WHO THIS IS FOR If you've watched the #shadowwork side of TikTok, owned Keila Shaheen's Shadow Work Journal, or felt like every other journaling app is just a notebook with a prompt — Umbra is built for you. It's also a powerful between-session tool for people in therapy, recovery, or grief. THE PHASES Phase 1 — Awareness: Notice the patterns, projections, and parts of yourself you've been hiding Phase 2 — Acknowledgment: Sit with what you find without judgment Phase 3 — Integration: Bring the disowned parts back into wholeness Phase 4 — Growth: Live from a more honest, integrated self DESIGNED FOR THE PRACTICE, NOT FOR ENGAGEMENT METRICS Umbra has no infinite scroll, no social feed, no notifications begging you to come back. Just a quiet, daily prompt and a place to write. The only "growth hack" is that the work changes you. UMBRA PRO — $4.99 LIFETIME Unlock all four phases (90 additional prompts), two extra Breakthrough Card themes, three streak freezes, PDF export of all your entries, and an ad-free experience. One-time purchase. No subscription. Shadow work isn't about fixing yourself. It's about meeting yourself.
