Capture Every Moment — Now With Your Voice

Log daily events as they happen — good, neutral, or bad. Record what made you smile, what challenged you, and everything in between. A spectrum slider captures the subtle shade of neutral moments. Tap the microphone and speak — voice-to-text drops your words straight into the entry, perfect on the bus, on a walk, or after a long day. Add notes, photos, audio recordings, or documents to enrich your reflections.

🤩

The Feelings Wheel

Not sure why a moment hit the way it did? The new emotions wizard guides you through a calm three-step Feelings Wheel — happy, sad, fearful, angry, surprised, disgusted or "bad day" — and helps you find the precise word: proud, defeated, anxious, hopeful, grateful, overwhelmed. Skip it any time and just write. Use it as often as you need.

🌿

Gratitude Pot

A calm, separate place for moments you're grateful for. A sentence is enough; an optional photo or video is welcome. Once you have ten, BrightLog gently greets you each day with one of them. Snooze the daily greeting for a month any time.

🧑‍⚕️

Find a Therapist Near You

The Experts tab finds nearby psychiatrists, psychotherapists, counsellors, psychologists and mental-health centres in seconds — no account, no ads, no paid placements, no data shared with anyone. Real listings around you with addresses, phone, website and opening hours, all tappable. One gentle weekly nudge — turn it off forever with a tap.

🤖

AI-Powered Insights

Discover patterns you might miss. BrightLog analyses your entries over time and generates personalised monthly and yearly summaries to help you understand your habits and moods.

📋

Therapy Session Report

Generate a 6-section report — mood & emotion trend, symptom self-monitoring, triggers, thought patterns, what shifted, and discussion points — over any date range, and share it with your psychologist as a PDF or copy-paste. Counter survives backup & restore. Free, ad-free, on your device.

🎯

Goals & Habits

A private, offline tracker for the small steps you want to take. Pick from 8 evidence-based starter templates — sleep hygiene, behavioural activation, cognitive reframing, mindfulness, exposure ladder, social connection, substance reduction, daily reflection. Each goal has tiny tasks; tap to check in; see your last 7 days at a glance. Identity-vote milestones — no badges, no streak shaming, just a gentle Welcome Back card when you miss a few days. Optional weekly summary can hand off to a therapy report. Backed up with your journal, wipeable from Settings → Privacy & Activity. Free, ad-free, no new AI calls.
