BrightLog Journal Mood Tracker

We never see what you write: everything stays on your device. BrightLog is a private journal, a mood tracker and a feelings wheel in one calm app — with a gratitude pot, goals and habits you check in with each day, daily nudges for self-care, insights about you, therapy preparation, a meditation timer and home-screen widgets, all for your mental wellness. PRIVACY FIRST We never see what you write. Your journal lives only on your device, and no BrightLog server ever receives it. No account is needed: many people never sign in, so their journal never leaves the device and the AI is never involved. Sign in only if you want backup, which goes only to your own iCloud, where we cannot access it, or AI insights, which work only after you sign in and give your explicit approval, and never send photos, voice notes or files. App Lock keeps it behind Face ID, Touch ID or your device’s screen lock. YOUR MOOD, IN ONE TAP Tap how the day felt — Awesome, Good, Not sure, Bad, Terrible — and get on with your life. A mood tracker that takes seconds, with no streak guilt. NAME WHAT YOU FEEL Then the feelings wheel helps you name it exactly: 7 core emotions, 41 shades, 82 precise words. Proud. Powerless. Hopeful. Overwhelmed. Name it, and you can work with it. A JOURNAL THAT HOLDS THE WHOLE MOMENT Write freely, or speak and watch your words appear. Attach photos, videos, voice notes and documents. Search every journal entry instantly and see your month at a glance in the calendar. A POT FOR THE GOOD THINGS Drop a sentence, a photo or a video into your Gratitude Pot — once it holds ten, BrightLog hands one back to you each day. GOALS AND HABITS, ONE CHECK-IN AT A TIME Start from ten Goal ideas — nine evidence-based starting points, such as better sleep, small mood-lifting actions and facing fears step by step, plus Take my medication, a daily reminder at a time you choose — or build your own. Check in with one tap, rate how a task felt and see What lifts you. Plan around obstacles, pick any 3 days a week, or take a break: nothing counts as missed. YOUR WEEK AT A GLANCE This week sits at the top of Goals. Open Your week for a ring per goal, the last twelve weeks side by side, and next week’s plan: keep, adjust or pause each task. DAILY NUDGES FOR SELF-CARE Gentle self-care reminders through your day: a glass of water, a stretch, a minute outside, a kind word. You choose how many and when. Tap Done, Later or Not today — every Done is a moment of care. QUESTION THE THOUGHT A thought record on any journal entry: what happened, what you thought, the facts for and against, and how it looks now. Learn to spot 16 unhelpful thinking styles. SIT WITH IT A meditation timer from 5 to 30 minutes, with eleven calm soundtracks or silence, and 16 on-screen prompts for breath, body scan and grounding. It all works offline. INSIGHTS ABOUT YOU Sign in and BrightLog summarizes your month and your year in your own language: what kept coming up, what shifted, and one small habit to try. Five views of your mental wellness — Story, Heatmap, Trend, Wheel and Mood: your year in pixels. Export any of it as a PDF. WALK INTO THERAPY PREPARED Build a six-part therapy preparation from the dates you choose and take it as a PDF, so your therapist sees the pattern, not just the worst day. The Experts tab lists psychologists and counselors near you, ranked by distance, never by who paid. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Three widgets: start today’s mood check-in with one tap on a face, keep your streak and badges a tap away, and see today’s habits and what’s done. THIRTY BADGES, NOBODY WATCHING Quiet milestones for journaling, mood, gratitude, goals and meditation. No leaderboards. GOOD FOR - A private journal and mood diary you’ll actually want to open - Tracking mood and mental wellness through anxiety, stress or a hard season - Preparing for therapy with real notes Dark mode, 20 languages, on iPhone and iPad.
