Introducing Session Summary Exports

We are excited to announce a feature we have been working on for months: Session Summary Exports.

A session summary takes your daily check-ins and turns them into a clear, shareable overview of your recent emotional life. Use it however you want. Review it yourself before a big week. Bring it to a therapy or coaching session. Share it with someone you trust. Or just read it and notice what stands out.

The Problem We Solved

You have been checking in daily. You have been honest about how you feel. But when someone asks, "How have things been?" you draw a blank. Two weeks of your emotional life reduced to "uh, pretty good I think?"

This is not a failure of memory. It is a limitation of how human memory works. We are not good at accurately recalling our emotional states across time. We remember peaks and endings but lose the middle ground where real patterns live.

Daylogue already helps you capture how you feel in real time. Now we are making it easy to step back and see the bigger picture, organized and ready for whatever you need it for.

What Is a Session Summary Export?

A session summary export is a summary document generated from your Daylogue check-ins. It compiles your mood data, energy levels, stress patterns, and notable entries into a single view.

Think of it as a highlight reel of your emotional life over the past two weeks. It pulls the signal from the noise so you can see what actually happened, not just what you remember happening.

Some people use it to prepare for therapy or coaching. Others use it for personal review at the end of a month. There is no single right way. The summary is yours.

How It Works

Generate Your Summary

  1. Go to your profile settings
  2. Tap "Generate Session Summary"
  3. Choose your date range (default: last 2 weeks, but you can adjust)
  4. Review the preview and make any edits
  5. Export or share

The whole process takes about two minutes.

What Is Included

Your session summary export contains:

  • Mood trends - A visual chart of your daily mood scores over the selected period. This makes trends immediately visible. You can see at a glance if your mood has been declining, improving, or fluctuating.
  • Key metrics - Average mood, energy, and stress levels for the period. These numbers give context. If your average mood was 4 out of 10, that tells a different story than 7 out of 10.
  • Significant entries - Entries you marked as important or flagged for reflection. These are the moments you wanted to come back to.
  • Theme summary - A summary of recurring themes across your entries. If work stress showed up six times but you only mentioned it once out loud, the theme summary catches that.
  • Questions worth exploring - Topics you flagged during your check-ins. As you reflect daily, you can mark thoughts with "come back to this" and they will appear here.
  • Notable patterns - Any patterns Daylogue detected, like mood drops on specific days or correlations between activities and how you felt.

Sharing Options

You have full control over how you use and share your summary:

  • PDF export - Download a formatted PDF for printing or emailing. Great for personal records, or for sharing with a therapist, counselor, or coach.
  • Secure share link - Generate a temporary link you can text or email to anyone you trust. They click the link and see your summary. The link expires after 7 days for security.
  • In-app viewing - Review everything in the app before exporting. You can remove anything you do not want to include.

Privacy First

We know this data is sensitive. Your emotional life is the most private thing about you. Here is how we protect it:

  • You control sharing. Nothing is ever shared without your explicit action. The summary only generates when you request it. No one else sees anything unless you choose to send it.
  • Time-limited links. If you use the share link option, it expires after 7 days. After that, the link stops working.
  • No third-party access. We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not use it for anything except helping you.
  • End-to-end encryption. Your journal vault entries and encrypted check-in notes are encrypted so that even we cannot read your raw words. Summaries are kept separate from your original reflections. The session summary is generated on your device, keeping your data private.
  • Delete anytime. If you want to remove a summary or any entries, you can do that instantly. We do not keep copies.

How People Are Using It

We tested this with a small group of users. Here is what they told us:

"I review mine every two weeks just for myself. It is like getting a letter from past-me about what was actually going on." - Daylogue user

"I bring mine to therapy now. My therapist said we get to the real stuff so much faster because she already has context." - Daylogue user

"Seeing my mood charted out made patterns obvious that I would have missed otherwise. I never realized how much my sleep affected everything." - Daylogue user

"The theme summary surfaced something I had been avoiding. Work came up in almost every entry, but I kept telling myself it was not a big deal." - Daylogue user

We also heard from therapists and coaches who appreciate when people show up with a clear picture of their recent weeks. They say it helps them ask better questions and spend less time reconstructing events.

How to Get the Most Out of It

Here are some tips for using session summary exports effectively:

Track consistently. The summary is only as good as the data you put in. Even a quick 1-10 mood rating each day gives you something to work with.

Flag what matters. When something comes up during a check-in that you want to come back to, mark it. Do not trust yourself to remember.

Review on your own first. Take five minutes to read through your summary before sharing it with anyone. Note what surprises you.

Share if you want to. If you work with a therapist, counselor, or coach, a summary can save time and deepen the conversation. But sharing is always optional.

Use it as a starting point. The summary is not the whole story. It is a foundation. What you notice in it is often more interesting than what it says.

Try It Today

Session summary exports are available now for all Daylogue Premium subscribers. If you are on the free plan, you can still export a basic summary with your mood trends.

Your reflections already contain more insight than you realize. The session summary just makes it easier to see.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to share the summary with anyone?

No. The summary is for you. Plenty of people use it just to review their own patterns without ever sharing it. The sharing features are there if you want them.

Can I use it for something other than therapy?

Absolutely. People use session summaries for personal check-ins, coaching sessions, conversations with their partner, or just to reflect at the end of a month. It is your data. Use it however it helps.

Can I edit the summary before sharing?

Yes. You can remove any entries or sections you do not want to include. You control exactly what anyone sees.


Your reflections tell a story. The session summary helps you read it.
