Daily Prompts & Self-Healing
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Meet your shadow, one prompt at a time. 19 guided journeys, trigger tracking, archetypes & private insights — your inner work, kept beautifully private.
Meet the parts of yourself you've kept in the dark.
Penumbra is a private, beautifully simple shadow work journal that helps you understand your triggers, heal old wounds, and come home to who you really are — one honest prompt at a time.
Shadow work is the practice of exploring the hidden parts of yourself: the fears, patterns, and emotions you learned to push away. Bringing them into the light is how real, lasting change begins. Penumbra makes that work approachable, gentle, and yours alone.
— GUIDED JOURNEYS —
19 themed paths with 200+ deep, therapist-style prompts: Meet Your Shadow, Inner Child, Self-Sabotage, Fear & Anxiety, Anger, Relationships, Self-Worth, Forgiveness, Boundaries, Grief, Shame, Mother & Father Wounds, Money Stories, Work & Purpose, Perfectionism, Jealousy, Attachment, Identity, and more.
