Stillhaven is a gentle, private place to carry grief. Not a task list and not a feed, just a quiet room for the person you are missing. Every day begins with a soft prompt drawn from a library written for grief, across themes like Remembering, Missing them, Hard days, and Talking to them. Write as much or as little as you need. There is no wrong way to be here. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Daily rotating prompts, plus free writing whenever you prefer. - Mood weather: mark how the day felt with one of six weathers, from Storm to Clear, and watch the trend take shape. - Letters to your person, kept apart from the daily journal, with gentle openings for when you do not know how to start. - A memory vault for the photos and small moments you never want to lose. - Dates you keep: birthdays and remembrances that prepare you a few days ahead, so a hard date never arrives all at once. - On this day: a gentle resurfacing of what you wrote a year ago, when it finds you. - Light a candle: a quiet moment of remembrance, with a minute of stillness if you want it. - Search your journal, set a soft daily reminder at a time you choose, and preview your Memory Book before you make it. - A Face ID lock, so your journal stays yours. SEE YOUR DAYS TAKE SHAPE Your reflections become a mood weather chart, a writing streak, and a picture of your days. Over weeks a shape appears, gentle and your own. Yours is yours, whatever it shows. FREE AND PRO Stillhaven is free to use, including up to 10 reflections and a taste of letters and the memory vault. Stillhaven Pro unlocks unlimited reflections, letters, and memories, plus the Memory Book, a printable keepsake that gathers your letters, memories, and reflections into one PDF. Pro also exports your journal as a CSV. Stillhaven Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. The current price is always shown in the app before you decide. Syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with iCloud. Private by design: no account of ours, no ads, no tracking. Your writing stays on your device and in your own iCloud. Stillhaven is a gentle place for reflection, not a substitute for professional care. If you are in crisis or thinking of harming yourself, please contact your local emergency services or a crisis line. Pro subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Cancel anytime in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions; cancellation applies at the end of the current period.
