Your Annual Engagement Survey Is a Rearview Mirror. Daylogue Is a Windshield.

LOS ANGELES, CA, November 17, 2026 / PRNewswire / — Daylogue today launched Team Signals, an always-on team-level wellness dashboard that gives HR leaders and managers a live read on burnout, stress, and energy across their workforce, and gives every employee a private pattern journal their employer cannot see into at the individual level. Team Signals replaces the annual engagement survey with a continuous signal. No other workplace wellness tool does this.

The annual engagement survey has a problem nobody likes to say out loud: by the time the results come back, the team has already changed. The employee who was drowning in April has already quit by October. The manager who was running their team into the ground has already been promoted. The burnout the survey is measuring already happened. Companies spend up to half a million dollars a year on this, and what they get is a beautifully designed report about the past.

Daylogue takes a different route. Employees get a personal pattern journal, voluntary, private, encrypted end-to-end, the same one individual Daylogue users have on their phone. Over time, the company sees group-level patterns: stress is rising on the engineering team, energy is dropping in customer support, burnout language is spiking in the sales org. What the company never sees is any individual person's entries. Daylogue uses k-anonymity at a threshold of five, no metric appears in a dashboard unless at least five people contribute to it. The manager cannot drill down. HR cannot drill down. The CEO cannot drill down. The picture is always the team, never the person.

"I've been on the receiving end of the annual engagement survey," said Brandon Bibbins, Founder and CEO of Daylogue. "You fill it out, you wait four months for the report, and by the time leadership presents it, half the problems in it are already worse and the other half are already fixed. It's the wrong instrument for the job. Companies don't need a report card on last year. They need to know what's happening this week. Team Signals gives them that, and it gives employees a journal nobody at work can read."

Team Signals launches with features built for real workforce use:

• A continuous signal, not a snapshot: stress, energy, burnout, and engagement patterns update as employees check in, so leaders see shifts within days, not quarters
• k-anonymity at five employees: no metric appears in any dashboard unless at least five people contribute to it, so individual data is structurally invisible
• End-to-end encryption on in-app entries: journal entries written in the Daylogue app are encrypted with AES-256-GCM on the employee's device before upload, so Daylogue cannot read those. SMS and email check-ins, and the summaries Daylogue generates, are handled on the server and encrypted at rest. In every case, the employer sees only group-level, k-anonymized aggregates, never individual entries, summaries, or identifying content.
• Team-level cuts, not individual-level ones: leaders can see patterns by team, department, or tenure, but never by person
• A real app for every employee: on top of the aggregate data, every employee gets the full consumer Daylogue experience, a journal that reads their own patterns and writes them back in plain language
• Crisis resources for everyone: the platform's three-tier crisis detection and 55+ vetted mental health resources are active for every employee regardless of plan
• Multiple ways to check in: text, voice (powered by Deepgram), SMS, or email, so the tool meets people where they are

"HR teams already know the annual survey doesn't work. They just haven't had an alternative that employees actually trust," said Marcus M., Head of Strategy and Partnerships at Daylogue. "We built the alternative. The dashboard is useful because the app underneath it is useful. People use the journal because it's theirs, and the aggregate signal comes from real behavior, not from a once-a-year form people rush through on a Friday afternoon."

Team Signals is available for employers, schools, universities, and clinical support programs now. Individual access remains available on iOS and web at daylogue.io. Enterprise inquiries: hello@daylogue.io.

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.
