Find out why you feel the way you feel. Within is a shadow work journal and emotional self-reflection app inspired by Jungian psychology. It helps you notice what moves you, meet the parts of you behind your reactions, and see the patterns that shape your life. Within isn’t a diary full of random prompts. It’s a calm, focused space for the moments that matter: the sudden reactions, the thoughts that keep coming back, the dreams that stay with you, and the relationships that touch something deeper. CAPTURE WHAT YOU LIVE · Moments: what happened, the emotions you felt, and who was involved · Thoughts: the ones that loop, judge or worry · Dreams: even if you only remember an image, a feeling or a place · Your body: tap the body to show where you felt it and what it felt like MEET THE PART OF YOU THAT SHOWED UP Reflection in Within is an encounter, not a quiz. Name what was touched in you, then meet the part that reacted: the Inner Critic, the Protector, the Abandoned Child… or, in good moments, the Playful Child, the Explorer, the Wise Self. Give it a shape, listen to what it says, discover what it fears or what it loves, answer it with a kind sentence, and bring it beside you. In the spirit of active imagination, you don’t push the part away. You get to know it. TAKE DISTANCE FROM YOUR THOUGHTS A heavy thought can be observed before it’s reflected on. In the spirit of CBT, look at it, question it, then let it drift further away from you. SPOT THE PATTERNS RUNNING YOUR LIFE Unconscious habits repeat until you see them. Patterns shows the parts of you that keep coming back, with their usual theme, the people involved, where they show up in your body, and what they need. Your emotional aura shows the balance of your recent emotions at a glance. GO DEEPER, AT YOUR OWN PACE · Personalized journaling prompts based on your recent entries · Reminders to come back and reflect later · An archive of everything you’ve captured, with reflected entries hidden if you like · Available in English, French and Spanish If you’re exploring shadow work, inner child work, emotional awareness, or self-discovery, Within is built for you. It’s for anyone ready to stop running from their difficult emotions and start learning from them, and to notice the good ones too. Understand your triggers. Meet the parts of you. Notice your patterns.
