Frequently asked questions

Daylogue is a pattern journal that turns daily voice or text check-ins into 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.
