Hi PH! I built BrightLog because every journaling app I tried wanted an account, a subscription and my data on their server. BrightLog has none of that: no sign-up, no BrightLog backend — your journal stays on your phone, and if you want backups they go to *your* Google Drive or iCloud. AI insights are optional and only ever send the text you explicitly ask it to analyse, never your photos or voice notes. The thing I'm proudest of is the feelings wheel: 82 emotions in three levels, because "sad" and "defeated" are different problems with different fixes. There's also a proper CBT thought record (the same seven-column model therapists use), a gratitude pot, streaks without guilt, and home screen widgets. It's free — no subscription, no paid tier, nothing to unlock. I'd love your feedback, especially on what's confusing in the first five minutes. — Cristian
