Frequently asked questions

Daylogue is a system for self-understanding. Pattern journaling is how it reads you: daily voice or text check-ins become 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Entries are protected in transit by TLS and by strict per-user access controls in the database. Entry text is kept out of Daylogue's application logs and error reports. Daylogue reads your entries to write your narratives — that is how the product works, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. Daylogue does not run emotion recognition on your face or on the tone of your voice. It works only from what you choose to share.

Entries are stored in readable form, protected in transit by TLS and by strict access controls, and employees do not have routine access. Daylogue systems do read your entries — that is how narratives and patterns get written. AI-generated summaries and mood metrics are always stored separately, unencrypted, to power features.

Never. Daylogue makes money from subscriptions only. No data is sold to third parties, brokers, or advertisers. Daylogue does not use your entries to train its own models; provider handling follows current written terms and subprocessor disclosures.

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.

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 TLS encryption and strict per-user access controls, but it is a wellness tool, not a medical device, and should not be used to handle Protected Health Information.

When you use an AI feature, the content needed for that feature is sent to Daylogue's listed AI provider under the current service configuration and written terms. What comes back — summaries, themes, and extracted metrics — is stored in readable form because the app needs it. Provider and retention details are maintained in the Privacy Policy and subprocessor list.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Basic check-in capture works offline on iOS. AI features, pattern analysis, and sync require an internet connection. Entries queue locally and sync when you reconnect.

Daylogue uses AWS Bedrock for AI processing. The service receives the content needed for the AI feature you choose and returns generated output. Current provider, retention, and training terms are maintained in the Privacy Policy and subprocessor list.

Yes, on supported accounts and platforms. No AI mode stops newly submitted content from being sent to Daylogue's AI and voice services on web, iPhone, and Apple Watch. It is not local-only: entries still sync to and are stored by Daylogue. Manual journaling, curated prompts, structured check-ins, calendar history, and manual tags remain available. Rules-based patterns are controlled separately, use structured fields and eligible accepted manual tags, and omit sensitive tags. Android does not yet provide the supported No AI experience.

Many users find Daylogue useful for capturing what happened between sessions so they arrive with specific examples rather than a blur. Daylogue can generate a weekly summary that helps you see themes. It is a personal wellness tool, not a clinical one.

Daylogue is a self-awareness tool, not a mental health treatment. It helps curious people notice emotional patterns. If you are experiencing a crisis, Daylogue will point you to professional resources like the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

Users must be 13 or older to use Daylogue. Privacy is taken especially seriously for younger users, including TLS encryption in transit and strict per-user access controls. Entry text is kept out of Daylogue's application logs and error reports. There is no social component. It is a private space to figure out what you are feeling.
