When anxiety, overthinking, or burnout feels too heavy, Lugna gives you a quiet space to breathe, reflect, and gently untangle your emotions. Your thoughts belong only to you. Sealed on your device, so no one else can ever read them.
Thoughtfully crafted tools to help you manage overthinking, build emotional resilience, and practice gentle daily self-reflection.
Writing honestly requires total safety. Since version 1.4.0, your entries are sealed on your device before they ever leave your hands. Only your key opens them, not ours and not a cloud provider's.
Journals created on versions before 1.4.0 are encrypted on your device the first time you open 1.4.0 while signed in. See the privacy policy for details on the upgrade.
When worries or intrusive thoughts begin to spiral, gentle Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) prompts walk you through what happened, help you untangle your feelings, and reframe negative thoughts with calm and gratitude.
Take all the time you need without anxiety. If you get a phone call, switch apps, or step away mid-sentence, Lugna automatically preserves every word you typed. Your unfinished reflections will be waiting peacefully when you return.
Notice emotional patterns over time with simple, encouraging weekly trends and summaries. Understand what lifts your spirits and what drains your energy, without clinical jargon or judgment.
You maintain complete ownership of your sanctuary. A friendly 12-word backup phrase lets you securely recover all your encrypted journals whenever you upgrade or switch to a new iPhone or iPad.
Keep your journal private from curious glances. Lugna locks instantly with Face ID, Touch ID, or your custom PIN, and automatically blurs your journal screen whenever you switch between apps.
Experience Lugna natively on iPhone and iPad with high-contrast Sora typography, fluid iPadOS split navigation, and hardware-backed biometric security.
Log your emotional state instantly with 13 nuanced moods, personalized greeting cards, and quick or guided entry flows.
Gently untangle intrusive thoughts with evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy prompts and automatic 3-way draft protection.
Observe your mental health patterns with calendar-aligned weekly and monthly charts, valence distribution, and streak milestones.
Device-bound Keychain security, Face ID lock gate, offline JSON export, and self-sovereign BIP39 recovery phrases.
Many journaling apps keep your diary in readable form on their servers, where a breach (or anyone with access to those systems) could expose it. Lugna is built the other way around: your entries are sealed on your device, so there is nothing readable to expose.
