Unfold: Private Journal
A journal that notices what keeps coming back in your thoughts. Unfold is a calm place to put a thought down without being judged, then to understand it. No feed, no streaks, no scores. Just your words, kept safe, and a clearer view of what they say over time.
Write it down, as it comes
- Write Open the app and start. A question, never an instruction: “What's on your mind right now?”
- Moods as colours Finish each entry with how you feel. Moods are colours, not emoji or ratings.
See what your days look like
- Today Your space for the day, with a memory from a month ago, in your own words.
- Journal All your entries, easy to reread and find again.
- Calendar Your month at a glance, coloured by your moods.
- My emotions How your feelings change from week to week, and what keeps showing up on your best days.
Understand what keeps coming back (subscription)
- Reflected entries When you finish an entry, Unfold reads it back and highlights the emotions in your words.
- Patterns Unfold notices the words, moments and themes that recur — “Sunday evenings weigh on you the most.” Each pattern shows the entries it comes from, so you can check for yourself.
- Ask my journal Ask a question in your own words, like “When was the last time I felt this calm?” The answer comes from your own entries, with sources.
- Summary A short overview of a period, with its themes and key entries, ready to bring to a therapy session or an important conversation.
Unfold observes. It doesn't advise, diagnose or lecture. It tells you what happened and why it thinks so, then leaves the rest to you.
