About this app

Notice the good. Learn from the rest. Name what you feel. Find help when you need it.

BrightLog is the private, ad-free wellbeing journal that helps you understand yourself one entry at a time. Capture what happened, how it felt, what you took from it — and watch the patterns emerge over weeks and months. Whether you are tracking your mood, managing anxiety, building a gratitude habit or preparing for therapy, BrightLog grows with you.

EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE
Your diary is yours alone. Nothing leaves your device unless you choose to back it up to your own private Google Drive. No accounts, no advertisers, no third-party trackers, no profiling, no data harvesting. Your inner life is private — full stop.

LOG ANY MOMENT IN SECONDS — NOW WITH YOUR VOICE
Capture good days, hard moments and quiet stretches with intensity sliders that go beyond a simple thumbs-up or down. Tap the microphone and speak — your words land straight in the entry, perfect on the bus, on a walk, or after a long day. Add photos, voice notes or documents. Come back later for a follow-up note when your perspective changes.

NAME WHAT YOU FEEL — A GENTLE FEELINGS WHEEL
Not sure why a moment hit the way it did? The new emotions wizard guides you through a calm three-step Feelings Wheel — happy, sad, fearful, angry, surprised, disgusted or "bad day" — and helps you find the precise word: proud, defeated, anxious, hopeful, grateful, overwhelmed. Skip it any time and just write.

FIND ANY MEMORY INSTANTLY
Lightning-fast search across every entry. Filter by mood, sort by date, jump to any month. Built for thousands of entries without ever slowing down.

INSIGHTS THAT MAKE SENSE
Sign in with Google once and BrightLog gently summarises your month and your year in your own language: what kept coming up, what changed, what to celebrate, and one small step to try next. Export any insight as a beautifully formatted PDF.

FIND A THERAPIST OR COUNSELLOR NEAR YOU
The Experts tab finds nearby psychiatrists, psychotherapists, counsellors, psychologists and mental-health centres in seconds — no account, no ads, no paid placements, no data shared with anyone. Real listings with addresses, phone, website and opening hours, all tappable. One gentle weekly nudge — turn it off forever with a tap.

YOUR DIARY ON ALL YOUR ANDROID DEVICES
Optional Google Drive backup keeps your entries safe and lets you continue seamlessly on a new phone or tablet. Your private Drive folder, your data, your control — no setup, no monthly fee. Polished for every screen — wide reading column on tablets, comfortable buttons on phones, dialogs that look right on both.

LOCKED IF YOU WANT IT
Protect BrightLog with fingerprint, face unlock or your device passcode. Choose how long the app waits before locking itself again.

GENTLE REMINDERS — OPT IN ONLY
A friendly notification when your monthly or yearly insight is ready, plus an optional weekly nudge. No marketing, no spam.
