Umbra is a gentle, private space for shadow work — the practice of meeting the parts of yourself you've learned to hide, and slowly making peace with them.
It's built to feel calm, never clinical. You move at your own pace through three unfolding tiers — Foundation, Exploration, and Integration — with reflective prompts drawn from Jungian psychology: the inner critic, projection, childhood patterns, and the parts of you that went quiet.
What's inside:
• Daily shadow-work journal prompts, with gentle guidance
• Quick mood check-ins that respect your "window of tolerance"
• Guided grounding and reflection exercises
• Insights that show how your inner weather shifts over time
• Crisis resources, always one tap away
Umbra checks in before and after deeper work, never pushes you past your comfort, and gently suggests grounding when things feel activated.
Your privacy is absolute. Everything you write stays on your device. No account, no sign-up, no tracking — nothing is collected, ever.
Umbra is a companion for reflection, not a substitute for therapy. If you're in crisis or working through trauma, please reach out to a professional alongside this app.
