A journal that remembers. Write or talk about your day, and Purpose answers with thoughtful questions that help you see it more clearly. It remembers what you wrote weeks ago, so it can ask whether today's worry is the same one you had about work last month. Over time, you start to see your own patterns. JOURNALING THAT KNOWS YOUR STORY • Write, or tap the mic and just talk. • Purpose remembers your past entries and notices when something comes back: "Is this related to what you wrote three weeks ago?" • Every entry gets a title and a short summary, so looking back is easy. • A morning intention, an evening reflection, and each day a new question based on your last few days. • Every three days, a Purpose question arrives at the time you choose: a deeper one, to answer whenever you're ready. • Guided journals for gratitude, letting it all out, the red flags you ignored, what you truly want, and more. And letters: to your younger self, to someone you love, or one you'll never send. SEE WHAT KEEPS COMING BACK After three days of writing, Purpose can show you your patterns: the emotions that repeat and what tends to set them off, how you talk to yourself, what you avoid, what gives you energy and what drains it. You can ask for new ones every week. Log your mood in seconds: how you are, what you feel and what happened. Add your own feelings and reasons, and see how your weeks are going in simple charts. With the widget, you can start right from your Home Screen. Export your mood log as a PDF, for yourself or your therapist: your check-ins exactly as you logged them, with no AI interpretation. FOR A HARD MOMENT • SOS: pick what's happening ("My mind won't stop", "I can't sleep") and Purpose walks you through a few minutes, one small step at a time. • Games to calm down: breathe with the light, ride a wave, stack blocks, sort colors. No scores, no timers, nothing to lose. • 8 guided meditations, from starting your day to going to bed, read by a calm voice in your language. • A sound library of illustrated scenes: rain on the window, a fireplace, ocean waves, a summer night and more, with a sleep timer. GO DEEPER • 15 guided journeys of 7, 14 or 21 days on overthinking, people pleasing, boundaries, burnout, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, your inner child and more. Each day brings a short lesson, a quiz and a reflection. • Personality tests: Big Five, Enneagram and MBTI. • Where You Truly Belong: an interactive journal that finds the city where you can be yourself. MAKE IT YOURS Choose how Purpose replies: short or detailed, gentle or direct, plus your own instructions. Purpose speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German, and your journal syncs between your iPhone and iPad. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Lock Purpose with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. Your entries are encrypted before they're backed up or synced, and what you write is not used to train AI models. A subscription is required to use Purpose.
