Shadow Work: Daily Journal
Daily prompts. Private archive
Shadow Work is for adults who want honest self-reflection—not performative positivity. Get one clear prompt at a time so you can stay with discomfort without burning out.
Shadow-informed framing names avoidance, projection, patterns, and the stories you tell yourself. Paced like a practice—a daily drip instead of an overwhelming workbook. Private-first: your archive is for you, not a social feed.
Free includes a daily reflection flow built around strong psychological prompts, local journal entries you control, and intensity and streak-style signals to notice momentum. Shadow Pro expands deep-dive paths, a fuller prompt library, and richer pattern / personality-style synthesis grounded in what you write—not generic advice. An optional evening reminder is one quiet nudge to return when resistance shows up—if you want it.
Shadow Pro is an optional subscription with monthly and yearly plans (where available). Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Terms use Apple’s standard EULA. Privacy policy link is in the legal row below.

From the blog
-
What is shadow work journaling (in plain language)?
Not a gratitude feed. Not a diagnosis. Questions that name what you usually skip.
-
Daily journal prompts that beat the blank page
The blank page is not a moral failure. It is a design problem — fix it with one clear prompt.
-
A private journal is not a wellness feed
If you write for an audience, you edit the truth. Private journaling keeps the audience at zero.
