Unwindly: Your Private Journal
Journal that changes you
$9.99 · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
Privacy-first CBT journaling that transforms your thinking. All data stays on your device. Structured thought records, mood tracking, crisis support. Works 100% offline.
WRITE. REFLECT. REWIRE.
A journaling app that actually changes how you think.
Most journal apps just store your thoughts. Unwindly helps you transform them. Using techniques inspired by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, you'll learn to catch negative thinking patterns, challenge them with evidence, and rewire your mind toward clarity.
WHY THIS JOURNAL IS DIFFERENT
Your thoughts deserve a private space. Unwindly keeps everything on YOUR device — no cloud storage, no data harvesting, no ads. Just you and your journal.
One-time purchase. Yours forever.
HOW IT WORKS
Write freely, then reflect with structure:
THOUGHT RECORDS
Catch anxious or negative thoughts. Write down evidence for and against them. Discover more balanced perspectives you actually believe.
REFLECTION JOURNALS
Process what happened today. What went well. What you learned. Build self-awareness over time.
GRATITUDE PRACTICE
Shift your attention toward what's working. Small daily wins compound into lasting change.
SELF-SUPPORT JOURNAL
Write to yourself like you'd write to a friend. Build inner compassion.
MOOD TRACKING
See patterns over time. Connect your thoughts, activities, and emotional states.
BREATHING EXERCISES
When thinking isn't enough, calm your body first. Voice-guided techniques for immediate relief.
