BrightLog is a private journal, a mood tracker, a gratitude pot and a CBT toolkit in one calm app — and what you write stays on your phone. Here is everything 4.0.3 puts in your hands. NAME WHAT YOU FEEL A three-level feelings wheel: 7 core emotions, 41 shades, 82 precise words. Proud. Defeated. Hopeful. Overwhelmed. Not five faces. YOUR DAILY MOOD, IN ONE TAP Tap how the day felt — Awesome, Good, Not sure, Bad, Terrible — and get on with your life. One mood a day, no pressure, no streak-guilt. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Three widgets. Daily Mood puts the five faces on your home screen: tap one and today is logged. Daily Streak keeps your streak in sight, with your badges one tap away. Daily Tasks shows today's small steps, ready to tick off. A JOURNAL THAT HOLDS THE WHOLE MOMENT Write it or speak it. Attach photos, videos, voice notes and documents. Add a follow-up later, when your perspective changes. Search everything instantly, and see your month at a glance in the calendar. KEEP IT TO YOURSELF App Lock puts your journal behind Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. QUESTION THE THOUGHT (CBT) A proper CBT thought record on any entry: what happened, what you thought, the facts for, the facts against — and how it looks now. The same seven-column model therapists use, plus the 16 unhelpful thinking styles. A POT FOR THE GOOD THINGS Gratitude deserves its own place, not a checkbox. Save a sentence, a photo, a video. Once you have ten, BrightLog greets you with one of them each day. SMALL STEPS, REAL HABITS Nine evidence-based starting points — better sleep, lifting mood with small actions, reshaping thoughts, stepping towards what scares you — or build your own. Check in with one tap, and keep a gentle streak with one forgiving freeze a month. SIT WITH IT A meditation timer: 5 to 30 minutes, eleven offline soundtracks or silence, and 16 on-screen prompts for breath, body scan and grounding. No voice, no instructor. INSIGHTS THAT ARE ACTUALLY ABOUT YOU Your month and your year summarised in your own language. Five views — Story, Heatmap, Trend, Wheel and Mood: your year in pixels, a whole year of your days as a grid of colour. Export any of it as a PDF. WALK IN PREPARED A six-part summary from any date range, as a PDF you can hand to your therapist. Still looking for one? The Experts tab lists psychologists, psychotherapists and counsellors near you, ranked by distance, never by who paid. THIRTY BADGES, NOBODY WATCHING Quiet milestones for showing up. No leaderboards, no comparisons, no sharing. PRIVACY, PLAINLY Analytics can be switched off entirely in Settings, and AI features always ask before an entry is sent. Your words stay on your phone, backups go only to your own iCloud, and we never see what you write. Dark mode throughout, and 20 languages.

4.0.2 — BrightLog arrives on your home screen. Three widgets: Daily Mood puts the five faces on your home screen — tap one and today is logged. Daily Streak keeps your streak in sight, with your badges one tap away. Daily Tasks shows today's small steps, ready to tick off. Plus small fixes and polish — the Journal's clean-up tool now appears only when there is actually something old to clean. 4.0.1 added two privacy controls. Analytics can be switched off entirely in Settings. And AI features always ask before an entry is sent — nothing is analysed without your consent. BrightLog 4.0 was the biggest release yet.

Also: photos, videos, voice notes and documents display properly everywhere; photo location and dates fill themselves in; and your backups survive an uninstall. Your words still stay on your phone, backups still go only to your own iCloud, and we still never see what you write.

NEW: The Feelings Wheel. Name what you feel in three calm steps — happy, sad, fearful, angry, surprised, disgusted or "bad day", then the precise word: proud, defeated, anxious, hopeful, grateful, overwhelmed. Skip it any time and just write. Voice input — tap the microphone and speak. Your words land straight in the entry, perfect on the bus, on a walk or after a long day. Four new languages: Russian, Swedish, Romanian and Hindi. BrightLog now speaks 17 languages. Polish for tablets — popups, dialogs and reading columns now look perfect on iPad and Android tablets. Plus a gentle "rate the app" prompt, so you can share love when it feels right. Your data is yours. No accounts, no advertisers, no trackers.

Plus, a quiet polish pass across the app: smoother screens on every device, sharper icons on iPhone and iPad, and the journal stays as fast and private as you remember. Your data is yours. No accounts, no advertisers, no trackers, no profiling.
