You've been journaling all week. Now what? Carnet turns your entries into an editable session brief — source notes, recurring names, possible themes, and agenda ideas — so you walk into therapy with what you actually wrote, not what you remembered. Everything stays on your phone. THE BRIEF Pick a window — since your last session, the past week, or custom dates — and Carnet assembles: • Source notes — every entry that mattered, full text linked • Recurring names — people who keep coming up • Possible themes — patterns you can inspect, not conclusions you have to accept • Agenda ideas — things you might want to bring up Edit anything. Copy or export the Markdown brief and bring it to therapy. ON-DEVICE BY ARCHITECTURE • Text analysis runs through Apple frameworks on your device • No third-party SDKs. No telemetry. No IDFA. • iCloud sync is opt-in, through your own private CloudKit database — Carnet has no server for your journal • Export anytime: Markdown plus structured JSON • Import from Apple Journal — bring your existing entries with you REFLECTION MAP Tap a theme to see the entries and names behind it. Carnet shows possible connections; you decide whether they matter. Reflection cues, not diagnoses. INSIGHTS Rough tone cues drawn from what you wrote, not a mood diagnosis. A wavering line, not a clinical chart. For noticing, not measuring. WHO IT'S FOR • People in therapy who want to walk in prepared • Long-form journalers who want to surface patterns without handing their writing to a cloud • Anyone who wants a journal that respects them Carnet is a journaling and preparation tool, not a therapist, medical service, or diagnostic tool.
