Daylogue: Frequently Asked Questions

Daylogue is a pattern journal — a self-awareness app that reads your daily check-ins and detects the emotional patterns running through them. Below are answers to the most common questions about how Daylogue works, its privacy and security model, features, pricing, and use cases.

Getting Started

What is Daylogue?

Daylogue is a pattern journal that turns daily voice or text check-ins into serialized AI narratives about your emotional life. Two-minute check-ins surface patterns across days, weeks, and months that you would miss on your own. It is a self-awareness tool, not a therapy app.

How does Daylogue work?

Each day, you do a quick check-in by voice or text. Daylogue captures your mood, energy, and what is on your mind. Over days and weeks, the AI notices patterns and writes serialized narratives — ongoing stories about your emotional life that help you see the bigger picture.

How long does a check-in take?

Two minutes is the average. Some people do a quick thirty-second pulse. Others go longer when they need to. There is no minimum or maximum. The check-in meets you where you are that day.

Do I need to journal every day?

No. There are no streaks, no badges, and no guilt for missing days. Patterns emerge from consistent use over time, but consistent is yours to define. A few check-ins a week creates real signal.

What does a daily check-in look like?

Daylogue asks you questions: How is your energy? What is on your mind? What is going well? The questions adapt over time based on what you share. You answer by typing or speaking, however feels natural that day.

Is Daylogue right for me if I have never journaled before?

Especially. Blank-page journals are hard to start. Daylogue asks the first question, so you never have to figure out where to begin. Many people who struggled with traditional journaling find structured check-ins easier to stick with.

Can I use Daylogue on my phone and computer?

Yes. Daylogue has a native iOS app and a web app that sync across devices. Your check-ins and patterns are available on any device you log into. A native Android app is in development and coming soon.

Privacy & Security

Is my journal data private and secure?

Yes. Journal entries are encrypted on your device using AES-256-GCM before they leave it. Daylogue cannot read your raw entries. Your encryption keys are stored on your devices, not on Daylogue servers.

Can Daylogue employees read my entries?

No. Your journal entries and encrypted notes are end-to-end encrypted. AI-generated summaries and mood metrics power features separately, but your raw words remain inaccessible to anyone at Daylogue.

Does Daylogue sell my data?

Never. Daylogue makes money from subscriptions only. No data is sold to third parties, brokers, or advertisers. Your entries are not used to train AI models without your explicit consent.

What happens to my data if I delete my account?

Your data is removed from active systems immediately when you delete your account. Backups are purged within 30 days. You can export all your data before deleting. Deletion is permanent.

Is Daylogue HIPAA compliant?

No. Daylogue is not HIPAA compliant and does not currently execute Business Associate Agreements (BAAs). Daylogue is not a covered entity. It was designed with strong security practices including end-to-end encryption and access controls, but it is a wellness tool, not a medical device, and should not be used to handle Protected Health Information.

Does the AI read my private entries?

AI features require brief decryption for processing. During that window, content is processed by the AI provider but is not stored or logged afterward. The result is re-encrypted before storage. Daylogue is transparent about this tradeoff.

Features

Can I use Daylogue with voice instead of typing?

Yes. Voice check-ins are a core feature. You talk, Daylogue listens, asks follow-up questions, and captures what matters. No transcription cleanup required. Just a natural conversation.

What makes Daylogue different from other journaling apps?

Most apps give you a blank page. Daylogue gives you a conversation. Most apps store entries. Daylogue surfaces patterns across them. Most apps use streaks. Daylogue has none. The difference is narrative: your days become a story you can actually read.

Is Daylogue a therapy app?

No. Daylogue is a self-awareness and wellness tool for curious people who want to understand themselves better. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace professional care. If you are in crisis, Daylogue provides access to real crisis resources like the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

What are Daylogue Narratives?

Narratives are serialized AI-written stories about your emotional patterns. Based on your check-ins, Daylogue writes a daily read that reflects your week back to you. It is not a clinical report, but a story about what is actually going on in your life.

What is Chromascape?

Chromascape turns your mood and emotional data into a color visualization. Each check-in generates a color palette reflecting how you felt that day. Over time, your calendar becomes a visual diary. Some people find it easier to see patterns visually before they can articulate them.

What are Vision Boards in Daylogue?

Vision Boards connect visual aspirations to your daily reflections. You add images and intentions that matter to you, then see how your daily patterns relate to where you want to go. It bridges where you are and where you are headed.

Does Daylogue connect to Apple Health?

Yes. On iOS, Daylogue integrates with Apple HealthKit. You can pull in sleep, activity, and heart rate data alongside emotional check-ins. Seeing physical and emotional metrics together often reveals connections neither tells you alone. This is a pro feature.

What are Themes?

Themes let you track specific parts of your life, like a relationship, a project, your health, or your career. Daylogue pays attention to what matters most to you and surfaces patterns within those areas. Free users get up to three. Pro adds unlimited themes.

What patterns does Daylogue surface?

Over time, Daylogue shows you things like which days you consistently feel lower energy, how sleep quality connects to mood, whether certain relationships lift or drain you, and what conditions are present on your best days. These are connections you would likely miss on your own.

Can I add photos to my check-ins?

Yes. Photos are part of check-ins and can be saved to your journal. Over time, your visual history becomes part of your story.
