Some thoughts won't stop. Some worries circle until you can't sleep. Just for Today is a gentle, science-backed mood journal that helps you put them down — one day at a time. A daily intention, mood tracker, worry journal, gratitude log, and thought release tool — all in one private app.

100% private. No account. No cloud. Your journal stays on your device, where it belongs.

Inspired by Sybil F. Partridge's 1916 poem of the same name, Just for Today is a quiet invitation to live one day with intention. A century later, the idea still works.

NEW IN V2

• Pause the Worry
A guided 5-step worry journal rooted in Dale Carnegie's "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" and decades of CBT research. Name the worry. Picture the worst case. Find what's realistic. Accept what is. Take one small action. Structured worry processing has been shown to reduce anxiety by up to 35%.

• Thought Release
A thought journal where you write what's weighing on you, then symbolically release it. We never show you the words again — only your release count. Based on Pennebaker's expressive writing research and ACT cognitive defusion. Externalizing thoughts has been shown to reduce rumination by up to 40%.

EVERY DAY, IN A FEW MINUTES

• Daily Intention
Set a small, kind commitment for the day. "Today, I will be patient with myself." Implementation intentions are proven to double follow-through.

• Mood Check-In
Name what you feel in three gentle steps. The mood tracker uses affect labeling — putting feelings into words — which has been shown to reduce amygdala activity by around 50%. A granular feelings tracker, not just five faces.

• Gratitude Log
Note three small things in your gratitude journal. Gratitude journaling improves sleep by 25%, exercise by 33%, and rewires attention toward what's good. Add a photo to anchor the memory.

• Evening Reflection
End the day with a soft look back. What stayed close to your intention? What can you let go of?

• Insights & Patterns
Watch patterns emerge over time. The people you mention. The themes that recur. The days you feel best. A full mental health journal that learns from you.

WHY PEOPLE STAY
