What you can do with BrightLog
PUT A WORD TO IT
BrightLog gives you a three-level feelings wheel: 7 core emotions, 41 shades, 82 precise words. Proud. Defeated. Hopeful. Overwhelmed. Once you can name it, you can do something with it. Not sure where to begin? A gentle wizard walks you there.
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.
A 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 — because it does. Search everything in an instant. See the whole month at a glance in the calendar.
A SECRET DIARY WITH A PROPER LOCK
Some days you need to write down the thing you would never say aloud. App Lock keeps everything behind your fingerprint, face unlock or device PIN — the diary with a password you kept at fourteen, except this time you cannot lose the key.
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 that quietly run the show.
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 — a small ambush of something you had forgotten.
SMALL STEPS, REAL HABITS
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. Keep a gentle streak, with one forgiving freeze a month.
SIT WITH IT
A meditation timer — 5 to 30 minutes, eleven calm soundtracks (rain, ocean, campfire, forest) or silence, and sixteen on-screen prompts for breath, body scan and grounding. Works offline. No voice, no guru, nobody telling you to breathe more deeply.
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 any of it as a 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, psychotherapists and counsellors near you, ranked by distance, never by who paid. Thirty quiet badges mark the milestones — journaling, gratitude, consistency. No leaderboards, no sharing.
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, 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.
