Weave is a place to write the good things down. It is built on the optimistic writing method: a short daily practice of writing, in detail, about true and good moments from your own life. Not affirmations, not a mood tracker — your own words about your own days, written in an order designed to make them stick. TEN MINUTES A DAY A guided daily sequence takes about ten minutes. There is no streak-shaming and no scoring of you as a person — just the writing, and a gentle record of having shown up. THEMES TO WRITE FROM When the page is blank, a theme gives you somewhere to start: a worry that ended, a kindness given or received, the way you see yourself, the world outside your window. Add your own topics too. A JOURNAL THAT IS ACTUALLY YOURS You choose how each entry is protected, from ordinary storage all the way to zero-knowledge encryption — sealed on your device, unreadable to us, with no way for anyone at Weave to open it. You can also write in a mode that stores nothing at all. Lock the whole app behind Face ID or Touch ID if you want to. AN AI COMPANION, NOT AN AI JUDGE An optional writing check reads an entry back and points out where the writing drifted away from the method. Names and identifying details are masked before anything is sent for analysis, and you can turn the whole feature off. VALIDATED WELLBEING TESTS, ALWAYS FREE Take real, published psychological questionnaires and keep your own results over time. No account is needed to take one. THREE LANGUAGES, PROPERLY English, Arabic and Spanish — with real right-to-left Arabic typography, not a mirrored afterthought. FREE TO USE Writing, your journal, themes and the tests are free with an account. Rooted in published research on expressive writing, savouring, explanatory style and cognitive reappraisal — the science page on our site names every study. Weave is a wellbeing and journaling app. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it is not a substitute for professional care.
