The Journal of Being
Write yourself, every day
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The Journal of Being has always been more than a journal.
Born as a paper journal, a bestseller in Brazil, it is now also an app: the same invitation to write, breathe, and care for yourself, every day, in the place where your life already happens.
Here the page is never blank. One question a day guides your writing, morning and night, and what you write stays yours alone.
WHAT YOU WILL FIND
· Guided journal, morning and night: one question at a time, at your pace. If you would rather write freely, the open space is right there.
· Check-in of Being: in thirty seconds, how you are today. At the end of the month, a portrait of you that no memory could keep on its own.
· The Flower of Feeling: every entry opens a petal, and your year becomes a garden. It is your mood journal, drawn as a flower.
· The Refuge: eight scenes with sound and image, for when the day gets heavy.
· For sleep: sleep stories, guided meditations, and breathing exercises that end on their own, with a timer that turns everything off once you have drifted off.
· Color and sound: long tracks to listen to and a screen of color that breathes with you when it is time to slow down.
· Tools for the hard days: guided breathing, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, muscle relaxation, the wheel that helps you see what you are feeling, thought record, defusion, and The Set Hour, which holds your worry until the time you chose.
· For your hands: coloring pages and the firefly, two quiet games for when your mind needs something else to do.
· Gratitude Challenge: three lines a day, and a streak to keep the habit standing.
· What Was Never Said: letters you seal with a PIN of their own, with a date to reopen. Not even your data export opens them.
· Journeys: themed paths of days, for those who like to be guided.
· Home Screen widget: the flower of the month, your week, and today's water, without opening the app.
· Gentle reminders at the time you choose, in the morning, at night, or to remember to drink water.
MADE TO BE YOURS
· Everything works offline. Your account keeps it in the cloud and opens the same journal on your computer.
TRY IT FIRST

There are 16 refuges now, twice as many, each with sound recorded in nature.
Plus a few quiet fixes along the way.
