Something to write about
A fresh prompt every day from a library of 64, plus 12 templates, from a blank page to a thought record. Free includes the blank page and gratitude; Pro opens the rest.
A private journal with a living sky
Your mind, mapped in light.
Write a few lines, check in with how you feel, and watch each entry become a point of light. Over the weeks, your sky shows what lifts you, what weighs on you, and what is worth another look.
Free forever, no card needed. Pro is $4.99 a month after a 7-day free trial.

How it works
A journal that feels like a place
Most journals feel like a database. MindJrnl gives every day one clear next step, and turns what you write into something you will want to come back to.
Write a little
Open to a prompt that is ready for you, or a blank page. Two minutes counts. Templates guide you when you want structure, from gratitude to a thought record.
Check in with a feeling
Drag across a pad from tense to calm, low to bright. The orb shifts colour and pace with you, and the whole check-in takes seconds.
Watch your sky fill in
Every entry becomes a point of light, placed by date and mood. Over weeks you can see the shape of your days, and what moves them.
Inside MindJrnl
Everything in one quiet place
Writing, feelings, habits and guidance, designed to work together instead of competing for your attention.
Write
A page that is ready before you are
Each day opens on one prompt you can start typing into straight away. When you want structure, pick a template: gratitude, morning pages, an evening review, a thought record, a letter you will never send.
- A fresh prompt every day, from a library of 64
- Blank page and gratitude on the free plan; every template with Pro
- Focus mode with gentle ambient sound, and voice notes (Pro)
Morning pages
SampleWhat do you want to remember about this week?
The walk before work again. Twenty minutes and the whole day felt less crowded. I want to keep that, even on the grey days

Check in
Feelings, not forms
Instead of a score out of ten, the check-in is a two-axis pad: how pleasant, how energised. It takes a second, and it is surprisingly honest. Try it here; nothing is saved.
- Add feeling words and what is affecting you: sleep, work, people
- A breathing exercise one tap away when the orb runs hot

Insights
See what lifts you
Insights shows your mood over time, what tends to come before your better days, and when you write most. Reflections read an entry back to you with two observations and a question. They are generated by a rule-based engine on our own servers, so no outside AI model ever sees your words.
- Private reflections: 3 a month free, unlimited with Pro
- 30 days of Insights free; your whole history with Pro
- A weekly letter about your week, and “Ask your journal” (Pro)
Your week, in a letter
SampleYou wrote on five days this week, and your calmest entries came after walks.
Tuesday was heavy. You named it, and by Thursday the sky was brighter again.
A question for the week ahead: what would make one more walk easy?
Rituals
Small habits, kept gently
Track the habits that matter with rings, not guilt. Keep a short task list beside your journal, and log sleep, water and movement when you want to see how they touch your mood.
- 3 habits and 20 open tasks free; unlimited with Pro
- Current and longest streaks, with a history for every habit
This week
SampleGuided pathways
When you want a path, not a prompt
Pathways are short guided programmes with a written plan for every day: a reflection, a prompt and one small action. Some are free, and the rest open their first 2 days so you can see whether they fit.

Privacy
Private by design. Honest about it.
Most apps that promise insight send your words to someone else's model. MindJrnl does not. Reflections come from a rule-based engine that runs on our own servers, so no third-party AI ever reads your entries, and nothing you write trains one.
We don't claim end-to-end encryption: our servers read entries to draw your sky and write reflections. What we promise instead is below, and it holds on every plan.
Read the privacy policy- Private to your account, encrypted in transit and at rest
- Never sold, and never used to train AI models
- Export everything, or delete it, any time

Today's question
ExampleWhat is something small I did this week that made your day easier?
You each answer on your own. Neither of you sees the other's words until you have both written.
Both of you have answered
Revealed at the same moment
ExampleAlex
You filled the car up before my early start. I noticed, and it helped.
Sam
Coffee on the desk on Wednesday, without a word. Small, and it made my morning.
Proud of you for today. Dinner is on me.
S, example noteEarly access
What you get on day one
MindJrnl is new. Rather than pad this page with numbers, here is exactly what is built and waiting for you.

No lock-in, ever
Download everything from Settings on any plan, Free included, and delete your account whenever you like. Portability is a right, not an upsell.
One plan for two people
Couples is a single subscription that gives both of you everything in Pro, a daily question to answer together, and 123 prompts written for couples.
A free plan you can live on
30 entries a month, mood check-ins, 3 habits and 30 days of Insights, with no expiry date. A real plan, not a countdown.
Guided pathways
Short programmes with a written plan for every day: a reflection, a prompt and one small action, instead of a list you are left to sequence yourself.
Being early is the point. We are building this in the open with the people using it. Tell us what is missing, and there is a real chance it ships next.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Is my journal private?
Yes. Your entries are private to your account and encrypted in transit and at rest. They are never sold and never used to train AI models. MindJrnl is not end-to-end encrypted, because our servers need to read your entries to draw your sky and write your reflections, and we would rather say that plainly. Reflections come from a rule-based engine we run ourselves, so no third-party AI model ever reads what you write.
Can I export or delete my journal?
Yes, on every plan, Free included. Download a complete copy of everything tied to your account from Settings whenever you like, and deleting your account removes it all. Your writing belongs to you.
What journal templates are there?
The free plan includes Free write and Gratitude. Pro adds every other template: Evening review, Morning pages, Thought record, Reflection, One sentence, Brain dump, Letter, Dream log, Habit check and Voice note.
How does the mood check-in work?
You drag a point across a two-axis pad: left to right for how pleasant you feel, bottom to top for how much energy you have. The orb changes colour and pace as you move. You can add feeling words and what is affecting you, and it all feeds Insights.
Can I journal with my partner?
Yes. The Couples plan is one subscription ($7.99 a month) that gives you both everything in Pro, plus a shared space: a daily question you each answer and reveal together, shared pages, and notes for each other. Your personal journals stay private.
How does the 7-day free trial work?
Your first Pro or Couples subscription starts with a 7-day free trial. Checkout asks for a card, but nothing is charged until the trial ends, and we email you before it does. Cancel before then and you are never charged; you simply stay on the free plan with everything you have written.
Is MindJrnl a replacement for therapy?
No. MindJrnl is a journal and a set of gentle tools for noticing patterns. It is not medical advice or treatment. If you are struggling, please talk to a qualified professional, and if you are in crisis, contact your local emergency number.
