## What is Umbra?

Umbra is a shadow work journal rooted in Jungian psychology, designed for honest self-reflection, emotional clarity, and personal transformation. This is not a gratitude journal. This is a guided tool for psychological integration, helping you confront the parts of yourself you tend to avoid.

Built for deep inner work. All entries stay offline, on your device. No cloud. No accounts. No tracking.

▶ ABSOLUTE PRIVACY
Your shadow stays with you. Umbra stores all data locally on your device with no external processing or data collection. Lock your journal with Face ID or PIN for complete peace of mind.

▶ UNDERSTAND THE SHADOW SELF ◀
[WHAT IS SHADOW WORK]
Shadow work is a practice from the psychology of Carl Jung. It involves confronting unconscious patterns, repressed emotions, and hidden beliefs. Through guided journaling, you bring these shadows into awareness to begin the process of psychological integration.

[HOW UMBRA WORKS]

Choose an Intent: Select a specific emotion to explore, such as Anger, Shame, Ego, Fear, or Envy.

Reflect on a Prompt: Each question is rooted in Jungian psychology and designed for honest self-examination.

Track Your Patterns: Visualize which shadows surface most often and track your emotional evolution over time.

▶ MASTER YOUR EGO & ANGER ◀
[EGO MANAGEMENT]
Identify the voice of your ego and dismantle limiting beliefs. Our specialized ego work prompts help you understand self-image patterns and move toward a more authentic version of yourself.

[ANGER & TRIGGER TRACKING]
Identify your emotional triggers before they take control. Umbra provides a structured anger management guide to help you process frustration and understand the root cause of your reactions.

▶ HEAL THE INNER CHILD ◀
[REPRESSED EMOTIONS]
Resolve childhood trauma through targeted inner child healing sessions. Address unmet needs and break generational cycles with subconscious reprogramming exercises.

[SHAME & ENVY REFLECTION]
Work through the most difficult emotions. Use specific journaling paths for shame and envy prompts to transform these mired feelings into catalysts for self-discovery.

▶ ULTIMATE PSYCHOLOGY JOURNAL ◀
[EMOTIONAL ANALYTICS]
Visualize the distribution of your triggers. Umbra turns your private reflections into meaningful insights, showing you how your inner landscape shifts as you do the work.

[ACCESSIBLE TO ALL]
Full support for accessibility preferences including bold text, dynamic type, increased contrast, and voiceover support.

### 3/5 — this may be a scam

*2026-04-02*

i think this app could be useful in tracking emotional patterns. i appreciate the privacy aspect as well. i wanted to access the trial version, it asked to pick a subscription package and for a payment method to start the 7 day free trial, i chose the 34.99 annual, ran my card but never unlocked the trial.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review and thoughtful feedback - it really means a lot and helps us improve Umbra.


You're absolutely right, and I sincerely apologize for the experience. This was a bug in an earlier version where the subscription payment went through but the premium features weren't unlocked correctly. This has already been fixed in the latest update (version 1.0.2).


I'd love to make this right - I'd like to offer you a complimentary full access code so you can enjoy Umbra without any cost. To send it your way, I just need you to reach out to me at umbra@byarcadia.app.


Once you've had a chance to try the updated version, I'd really appreciate it if you could revisit your review - it makes a huge difference for a small indie app like ours.


I'd also genuinely love to hear your suggestions and ideas for features you'd like to see. Your perspective on tracking emotional patterns and privacy is exactly the kind of feedback that shapes Umbra's direction.


Looking forward to hearing from you!
