About

Penumbra

Features
Read full description

Penumbra is a structured shadow work journal built on one idea: the deepest self-reflection needs the deepest privacy. There's no account, no sign-in, and no cloud — every word you write stays on your iPhone unless you share it, behind the same Face ID lock you use for your phone itself. SIX GUIDED JOURNEYS Paced, multi-day programs instead of a pile of prompts: • Meeting Your Shadow — a gentle 7-day introduction, free • The Inner Critic — 14 days tracing the harsh inner voice to its roots • Triggers & Projection — 14 days following strong reactions back to what they're protecting • Boundaries & People-Pleasing — 14 days unlearning the automatic yes • Grief & Letting Go — 14 days with a loss of any kind • Money & Scarcity — 14 days on what money stirs up and where that started Each day has 2-3 prompts with optional dive-deeper follow-ups. Content notes appear before tender sessions, and every prompt can be skipped. VOICE CAPTURE Tap the mic to dictate into the journal, trigger log or glimmer log. Speech is turned into text on your iPhone, never sent to a server, and no audio is saved. You review the text and tap Insert before anything is added. If on-device recognition isn't available for your language, typing works as always. DAILY CHECK-IN A free, two-tap check-in on Today: mood and energy, each from 1 to 5. Pro Insights adds a 7- and 30-day trend. DAILY REFLECTIONS On days between journeys, open one prompt from a 120-question deck spanning inner child, persona, relationships, the body, self-compassion, patterns, values, and dreams and symbols. Thirty prompts are free forever; the full deck and its dive-deeper questions are part of Penumbra Pro. TRIGGER LOG A 30-second capture for the moment something lands harder than it should: what happened, the emotion, a body sensation, and an intensity rating — free forever, with no limit. GLIMMER LOG The trigger log's counterpart for good moments: a 30-second capture for what steadied or lifted you, with a feeling from a ten-tag set. Free forever; glimmer patterns show up in Insights. FREEFORM JOURNAL Unlimited plain-text entries, searchable, editable, always free. Writing itself is never behind a paywall. INSIGHTS Your most-felt emotions, recurring trigger clusters, glimmer patterns, a practice heatmap, and Then & Now — revisit any prompt you've answered and see what changed. INNER-CHILD & PARTS EXERCISES Six structured exercises, from a letter to your younger self to a dialogue with a protective part. FACE ID LOCK Lock the whole app behind Face ID or your passcode. Your journal opens only for you. EXPORT & BACKUP Plain-text export is free forever; PDF export is part of Penumbra Pro. Save your whole journal to one file anytime, free forever. Keep it in iCloud Drive or Files, or email a copy to yourself. An optional passphrase encrypts the file, and an opt-in weekly reminder nudges you to back up. This is a backup you control, not automatic sync. PENUMBRA PRO • All six journeys (77 guided days) • Full 120-prompt deck + level-2 dive-deepers • Inner-child & parts exercises • Insights: emotions, triggers, patterns, check-in trends • PDF export Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime from Settings or your App Store settings. If you start a free trial, you can turn on an optional reminder the day before it ends. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Penumbra is a self-reflection tool, not therapy or medical care, and some prompts may stir up old or difficult feelings. You can skip any prompt, close the app, or come back another day — and a Crisis Resources screen, with the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and other helplines, is always one tap away, even before you unlock your journal. Terms: https://bogtsi.xyz/umbra/terms Privacy: https://bogtsi.xyz/umbra/privacy No server of ours ever sees your words. They leave your iPhone only if you share or back them up yourself.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Penumbra at none against Quickify's shown. Quickify's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
