About

Deepwell

Every other shadow work app hands you a deck of prompts. You work through it, and once you've seen the cards, the app becomes a plain diary. Deepwell doesn't have a deck. You write the thing you keep turning over — the argument, the flash of envy, the moment you went quiet and didn't know why. Deepwell reads what you actually wrote and asks one question that follows from it, in your own words. Not the next card. A question that could only have been asked about your entry. Answer it, or keep it for later. Either way it's yours. THE PATTERN MAP Over weeks, the same things start to resurface under different circumstances. Deepwell finds them and builds you a map: each recurring theme hanging at a depth set by how often it has come back and how long it has persisted, threaded to the entries it came from — with your own sentences as the evidence. A theme that has followed you for eight months sits visibly deeper than one from last week. Nothing is invented. Every pattern is quoted from something you wrote. WHAT'S IN IT • One generated follow-up question per entry, written from your text • The Pattern Map — recurring themes by depth, with the entries behind each one • Threads that keep an entry, its question and your answer together • Everything stored on your device, with no account and no sync • Export everything as plain text, any time FREE AND FULL DEPTH Writing is never limited. The free tier includes three generated questions a week and the two shallowest patterns on your map. Full Depth removes the ceiling: unlimited questions, every pattern at every depth, a written read on how each one moves over time, and export. A NOTE ON WHAT THIS ISN'T Deepwell is a journal. It doesn't assess, diagnose or treat anything, and it isn't a substitute for a therapist or a doctor. If your writing keeps taking you somewhere hard, that's worth saying to a person — crisis lines are in Settings, always. Terms of Use (EULA): https://killex00.github.io/tos2 Privacy Policy: https://killex00.github.io/privacy-policy2 Deepwell Full Depth is an auto-renewable subscription.
