Hey PH! I’m the developer of Spiral, a mindful journaling app.
I’ve always liked the Morning Pages idea: writing without overthinking or judging what comes out, just getting the thoughts out of your head.
I wanted to bring that feeling into a calmer mobile experience.
Spiral combines journaling, breathing, meditation, mood tracking, and simple insights in one flow.
The writing screen has two modes: Spiral and Ephemeral. In Spiral mode, your words follow a spiral path as you write. In Ephemeral mode, the text gradually fades away as you keep typing, so the focus stays on getting thoughts out instead of rereading every sentence.
Spiral is local-first by default, with optional iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
AI insights are optional too: one daily reflection from your journal entry, plus AI-supported patterns over time for premium users, like mood trends, themes etc.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, questions, or feedback if you try it.
