You've Been Writing About the Same Three Things for Months. Themes Proves It.

LOS ANGELES, CA, August 12, 2026 / PRNewswire / — Daylogue today launched Themes, a new feature that pulls back the curtain on what users have actually been writing about. Instead of a list of separate journal entries, users now see the people, topics, and feelings that keep returning across their entries, a specific partner, a specific parent, work, sleep, loneliness, money, a particular friend, a specific worry, along with how they've been feeling each time that theme came up. No other app does this.

Most people have a general sense of what's on their mind, but the specifics live in a blur. You know work has been heavy, but you can't say exactly how heavy or for how long. You know you've been fighting with your partner, but you can't say when it started or what you said the last four times it came up. You know your mom has been on your mind, but you don't remember that you've written about her eleven times this month. The truth of what we're actually thinking about gets lost inside the thinking itself.

Themes surfaces it in plain language. Users open the feature and see something like: "Your sister appeared in 23 of your last 40 entries. Most of those entries also mentioned feeling misunderstood." Or: "Work has been your most-mentioned topic for six weeks. Your energy drops on the days you write about it most." Or: "You've written about feeling tired 67 times this month." The app isn't guessing. It's counting. And it's connecting each theme to the feeling that showed up alongside it.

"The first time I saw my own Themes screen, I was genuinely surprised," said Brandon Bibbins, Founder and CEO of Daylogue. "I thought I'd been thinking about my work the most. It turned out I'd been thinking about one specific person the most, and work was a distant second. I had no idea. That's the whole point. The things we talk about most aren't always the things we realize we're talking about. Daylogue just counts and tells you."

Themes tracks three kinds of patterns:

• People: the names and relationships that keep appearing, a partner, a sibling, a specific coworker, a friend, a parent, with a plain-language read on how the user has been feeling each time that person showed up
• Topics: the recurring subjects in a user's entries, work, sleep, money, health, a creative project, a decision they keep circling, with frequency over time and the feelings attached
• Feelings: the emotions that keep coming back, tired, anxious, proud, grieving, excited, disconnected, and the people or topics most often paired with each
• Private on the most-used path: entries written in the Daylogue app are end-to-end encrypted on the user's device before upload, so Daylogue cannot read those entries at rest. Themes analysis runs on Daylogue's server because the AI model does; the analysis happens inside the user's session and the resulting Themes summaries are encrypted at rest. SMS and email check-ins follow the same server-side path. The full privacy map is published on daylogue.io/privacy.
• Useful before a conversation: a user can pull up their Themes screen before a therapy session, a hard conversation with a partner, or a call with a parent, and walk in already knowing what's been going on for them

"People are often the last to know what they've been thinking about," said LaShawn M., Head of Brand and Growth at Daylogue. "We talk to ourselves all day and none of it sticks. Daylogue gives that internal talk a shape. You can finally see it. And once you see it, you can decide what to do with it."

Themes is available now in Daylogue on iOS via the App Store and on the web at daylogue.io. Android is in active development. Themes is included at no additional cost for all users.

Daylogue is not therapy and is not a replacement for professional care. Themes is a self-reflection tool, not a diagnostic one. Users who want to share what they've noticed with a therapist or support person can export a summary. They never receive a label, a score, or a diagnosis.

About Daylogue

Daylogue is a pattern journal that reads your past entries and detects the emotional patterns running through them. Instead of a stack of separate journal entries, you get a short, plain-language summary that updates over time: what topics keep coming back, when a pattern is repeating, what's shifted in the last few weeks. Daylogue is not therapy and is not a replacement for professional care. It is a private space on your phone for honest reflection, a companion to therapy, to hard conversations, and to the days when you want to know yourself a little better. Entries written inside the Daylogue app are end-to-end encrypted on your device before upload, so Daylogue cannot read them. (SMS and email check-ins, and AI-generated summaries, are handled on the server and are not end-to-end encrypted. See Daylogue's privacy page for the full map.) Founded by Brandon Bibbins, Daylogue is independent and available on iOS and web at daylogue.io.
