## What is Shadow Work Journal?

Your words never leave your device.

Shadow Work Journal: Sanctuary is a privacy-first journal for shadow work — meeting the parts of yourself you keep in the dark, with honesty and care.

No account. No cloud sync. No AI reading your entries. Everything stays on your iPhone.

WHAT MAKES SANCTUARY DIFFERENT

• Privacy-first — entries stored locally on your device only
• Today's Box — one daily prompt from 12 shadow themes (56 guided prompts in Shadow Map)
• Release & Burn — write, then watch your words dissolve in a symbolic ritual
• Journey vault — secured entries, readable anytime (free to read)
• Optional Face ID lock — free for all users
• Ritual sound — optional burn and release audio (toggle in Settings)

FREE & PREMIUM

• Free: save up to 3 journal entries on your device (lifetime), one release per day
• Premium: unlimited saved entries; up to 3 release rituals per day — still local, no AI

NOT THERAPY

Sanctuary is for personal reflection and general wellness. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition. If you are in crisis, contact a qualified professional or emergency services.

Your shadow work stays yours. Always on-device.
