A mood journal for iPhone

One line
a day.In colour.

Pick the colour of your day, write one line, keep it. Every Sunday your iPhone writes you a quiet letter about your week — and none of it ever leaves your phone.

Weeks and months

Your life,as soft colour.

Days become auras, weeks become ribbons, and each month turns into a poster you can keep. Patterns show up on their own — without charts or scores.

  • A month mosaic and a ribbon for every week
  • A month poster to save or share
  • No streaks to lose. Missed a day? Fill it in later.

Every Sunday

A quiet letterabout your week.

On Sunday evening your iPhone reads the week back to you — what kept coming up, which days felt lighter, one small thing to try. Written by Apple's on-device model, from your own words.

“This week leaned warm. The sea came up three times, and each time it was on one of your brightest days.” From a Sunday letter · Written on iPhone

Ask and speak

Ask your journal.Or just talk to it.

“When did I feel lightest this month?” Quiet Journal answers from your own entries, with the days to prove it. On a walk home? Say your line out loud — it's transcribed on your iPhone.

  • Answers come only from what you wrote
  • Voice to text works on-device; audio is never saved

Private by design

Your wordsstay yours.

Quiet Journal has no servers of its own. We never see, store or share what you write.

On your iPhone

Entries, letters and answers are made and kept on the device.

No account

No sign-up, no email, nothing to log into. Just open and write.

No tracking

No ads, no analytics SDKs, no third-party AI. Ever.

Face ID lock

Free for everyone — privacy is never behind a paywall.

On heavier weeks

Gentle,when it matters.

When a week runs heavy, the letter slows down and stays kind. If something you write sounds like you might be at risk, the app quietly shows where to find a person to talk to. That check happens only on your iPhone.

Quiet Journal is a journal, not a medical or crisis service.

Questions

Good to know.

Which iPhones does it work on?

Quiet Journal needs iOS 26. Sunday letters and Ask use Apple Intelligence, so they need an iPhone that supports it with Apple Intelligence turned on. On other iPhones you get a simple summary of your week instead.

Can anyone read my journal?

No. Everything stays on your iPhone, or in your own private iCloud if you turn on sync. We have no servers and no access.

What if I miss a day?

Nothing happens. There are no streaks. Open Weeks, tap the empty day and fill it in whenever you like.

What happens if I stop paying for Pro?

Nothing is deleted. Older history is simply locked until you come back, and you can export your entries at any time.

Is this therapy?

No. It's a journal. If you're struggling, please talk to someone you trust or a professional. See Support for helplines.
