Store description excerpt

Penumbra is a structured shadow work journal built on one idea: the deepest self-reflection needs the deepest privacy. There's no account, no sign-in, and no cloud — every word you write stays on your iPhone, behind the same Face ID lock you use for your phone itself. FOUR GUIDED JOURNEYS Paced, multi-day programs instead of a pile of prompts: • Meeting Your Shadow — a gentle 7-day introduction, free • The Inner Critic — 14 days tracing the harsh inner voice to its roots, and giving it a smaller job • Triggers & Projection — 14 days following your strongest reactions back to what they're protecting • Boundaries & People-Pleasing — 14 days unlearning the automatic yes, one small no at a time Each day opens with short framing, moves through 2-3 prompts with optional dive-deeper follow-ups, and closes with a moment to gather what you noticed. Content notes appear before sessions that touch tender territory, and every prompt can be skipped. DAILY REFLECTIONS On days between journeys, open a single standalone prompt from a 120-question deck spanning inner child, persona, relationships, emotions in the body, self-compassion, patterns, desires and values, and dreams and symbols. Thirty prompts are free forever; the full deck and its second layer of dive-deeper questions are part of Penumbra Pro. TRIGGER LOG A 30-second capture for the moment something lands harder than it should: what happened, the emotion, a body sensation, and an intensity rating — free forever, with no limit. GLIMMER LOG The trigger log's counterpart for the good moments: a 30-second capture for what steadied or lifted you, with a feeling from a ten-tag set — warmth, joy, calm, and more. Free to log, forever; your glimmer patterns show up in Insights. FREEFORM JOURNAL Unlimited plain-text entries, searchable, editable, always free. Writing itself is never behind a paywall. INSIGHTS See your most-felt emotions over the last 30 days, your recurring trigger clusters, your glimmer patterns, a calendar heatmap of your practice, and a look back at what you wrote on Day 1 of your active journey. INNER-CHILD & PARTS EXERCISES Six structured exercises — a letter to your younger self, naming your inner critic, interviewing a protective part, an inner-child check-in, a dialogue with a part, and a letter from your future self. FACE ID LOCK Lock the whole app behind Face ID or your passcode. Your journal opens only for you. EXPORT YOUR WORDS Plain-text export is free forever, shared through the iOS share sheet. PDF export is part of Penumbra Pro. BACKUP & RESTORE Save your entire journal to one file, anytime, free forever — keep it in iCloud Drive or Files and restore it whenever you need to. This is a manual backup you control, not automatic sync. PENUMBRA PRO Unlock the full depth of the practice with a subscription: • All four journeys (49 guided days) • Full 120-prompt deck + level-2 dive-deepers • Inner-child & parts exercises • Insights: emotions, triggers, patterns • PDF export
