This is not a content library or a mood journal. It's the same framework used with private 1-on-1 coaching clients, sized to fit your phone. THE CAMPAIGN: 12 WEEKS, 3 PHASES Self (Weeks 1 to 4): audit your attention, practice self-forgiveness, build self-love, live present. Social (Weeks 5 to 8): audit your circle, resolve your triggers, challenge your perspective, practice the pause. Existential (Weeks 9 to 12): understand judgement, pick up the pieces, guard your heart and mind, redesign your character. FOUR TOUCHPOINTS A DAY Morning: affirmations, gratitude and a timed meditation. Habits and goals: the small decisions that build the new you. Soul work: guided prompts, thought tracking, trigger maps and letter writing tied to the week's theme. Evening: reflect, score the day honestly, plant tomorrow's intention. PICK YOUR CLASS Journey: move at your own pace. Guided: one day at a time. Recommended for most. Commitment: every section, every day. Miss past the grace window and you restart. A TOOLKIT FOR WHEN LIFE GETS LOUD 27 tools across breathing, meditation, thought work, physical release and ritual. Box breathing, the physiological sigh, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, thought records, EFT tapping, mirror work and more. SEE YOUR GROWTH Star any entry as a breakthrough. Insights shows your current week. Journey shows your whole arc. YOUR ENTRIES NEVER LEAVE YOUR PHONE No cloud servers. Everything you write stays on your device and works offline. PRICING Week 1 is free. Unlock all 12 weeks with a one-time Campaign purchase, or choose Unlimited (annual) to restart and revisit any week as often as you like. Soul Ops is a self-examination program, not therapy or medical treatment. If you are in crisis, please contact a licensed professional or local emergency services. Soul Ops was built by a coach who ran this program with real people before writing a single line of code. That difference shows. Your inner fire has been waiting.

Speak with Umbra, your AI shadow guide, to uncover unconscious patterns, integrate disowned parts, and grow through honest self-inquiry. Built on the depth psychology of Carl Jung.

WHAT YOU'LL DO Journal through 144 shadow prompts across 12 psychological themes Speak with Umbra in guided AI sessions tailored to your archetype Track your growth through a 15-planet progression journey Discover your Jungian archetype through an in-depth onboarding process Unlock deeper sessions, themes, and insights with Soul Arc Pro YOUR SHADOW WORK JOURNEY Soul Arc structures your inner work as a journey, with each planet representing a stage of psychological growth. As you journal and reflect, you advance. Progress is earned, not given. YOUR ARCHETYPE At the start, Soul Arc identifies your dominant Jungian archetype from 12 possibilities. Everything, from your prompts to your Umbra sessions to your progression, is shaped around who you actually are. UMBRA Umbra doesn't give advice. Umbra asks questions. Short, precise, and sometimes uncomfortable, the kind that cut through the noise and land somewhere real. Free sessions are 5 turns. Pro sessions run deeper, and Deep Dive mode opens a different conversation entirely. SOUL ARC PRO 10 daily Umbra AI sessions Deep Dive mode All 12 shadow work themes Unlimited journal prompt refreshes Pattern analysis PRIVACY Your journal stays private on your device. No account required. Umbra conversations are processed securely to generate responses and are never sold, shared, or used for advertising. No social features. Just you and your shadow. Soul Arc is not a substitute for therapy or mental health treatment. If you are in crisis, please contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988.
