BrightLog

BrightLog is a mood journal, a private diary and a CBT toolkit in one calm app — 82 emotions, not five faces — then shows you what has quietly been changing. Journaling for mental health, minus the homework. There is no BrightLog server and no account: everything you write stays on your phone, and backups go only to your own Google Drive or iCloud, only if you turn them on. There is no BrightLog server that could.

TODAY'S MOOD, IN ONE TAP Tap how the day went — Awesome, Good, Not sure, Bad, Terrible — and get on with your evening. Add a note, a photo or a voice memo if you fancy it. One mood a day. No pressure, no streak-guilt.

WIDGETS ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Three home screen widgets: today's mood logged with one tap on a face, your day streak in sight, today's tasks ready to tick off.

A DAILY JOURNAL THAT HOLDS THE WHOLE MOMENT Write freely, or simply speak and watch your words land in the entry. Attach photos, videos, voice notes and documents. Add a follow-up later, when your perspective shifts. Search everything in an instant. See the whole month at a glance in the calendar.

QUESTION THE THOUGHT (CBT) BrightLog has a proper CBT thought record: what happened, what you thought, the evidence for, the evidence against — and how it looks now. The same seven-column model therapists use. Learn to spot the 16 unhelpful thinking styles.

A POT FOR THE GOOD THINGS Gratitude deserves its own place, not a tick-box. Save a sentence, a photo or a video to the Gratitude Pot. Once you have ten, BrightLog greets you with one each day.

SMALL STEPS, REAL HABITS A habit tracker: turn what matters into tiny daily actions. Start from nine evidence-based ideas — better sleep, small actions that lift your mood, reshaping thoughts, stepping towards what frightens you — or build your own. Check in with one tap.

SIT WITH IT A meditation timer — 5 to 30 minutes, eleven calm soundtracks or silence, and sixteen on-screen prompts for breath, body scan and grounding. Works offline.

INSIGHTS THAT ARE ACTUALLY ABOUT YOU Sign in and BrightLog quietly summarises your month and your year in your own language: what kept coming up, what shifted, and one small thing to try next. Five views — Story, Heatmap, Trend, Wheel and Mood, which lays a whole year of your days out as a grid of colour. Export to PDF.

WALK IN PREPARED Before your next appointment, build a six-part summary from any date range and take it as a PDF. Your therapist gets the pattern, not just the worst day. Still looking? The Experts tab finds psychologists and counsellors near you, ranked by distance, never by who paid.

PRIVACY, PLAINLY Your entries live on your device. There is no BrightLog server that receives them — we never see what you write. Backups go to your own Google Drive/iCloud, not to us. AI insights are optional and only ever send the text you ask BrightLog to analyse — never your photos, voice notes or files.

BrightLog speaks 20 languages, works on phones, iPhones, tablets and iPads.
