## What is Softly Noted?

Some days you can write three pages. Some days the most honest thing you can manage is tapping the word Overwhelmed. Softly Noted is a journal built for both kinds of day.

A check-in starts with one of 15 moods, from Overwhelmed to Steady to Peaceful. Add a few feeling words if you want, tap the parts of the day that shaped it (sleep, work, health, people), then write as much or as little as you like. You can also just hold to talk and let your phone type it out, or attach a photo, or check in twice when the afternoon changes everything.

Looking back is where it gets interesting. A whole year fits on one screen in Year in Pixels. There is a month calendar, a searchable journal, mood over time, and a quiet chart of which factors lift you and which ones drain you. A weekly review and a Moments timeline collect the favorites and photos worth keeping.

When you do not know what to write, there are free prompts, guided journals for mornings, evenings, gratitude, self-worth, work, change, grief, sleep and the body, and deeper reflection packs for the weeks that need them. A companion voice keeps you company without ever judging, and writing ambiences keep the room quiet.

Privacy is not a setting here, it is the design. Entries are encrypted at rest on your phone. Speech to text runs on the device and never falls back to a network service. The widget is only a shortcut and never shows your words. With the app lock on, your journal covers itself the moment you switch away. Export everything as PDF or CSV for free, make a password-protected encrypted backup for free, and delete it all whenever you choose. No ads, nothing sold.

Free includes unlimited check-ins and history, three photos per entry, exports, backup, sync, the app lock, a daily reminder, and the free prompts and guided journals. Premium adds deeper pattern views, longer trends, look-back keepsakes, saved audio memories, up to 12 photos per entry, reflection packs, custom factors and premium themes, at $3.99 a month or $29.99 a year with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan.

Softly Noted is a journaling companion, not a medical or therapy tool. Real crisis helpline links are kept one tap away, just in case.
