Jona
Journal · Mood · A companion to talk to

Not every feeling needs fixing. Some just need to be heard.

Jona is a private journal, a gentle mood tracker, and a companion you can actually talk to. Write what's on your mind, notice how you're really doing, and think it through with someone in your corner. Any hour. No appointment. No judgement.

What Jona is

Three things, one quiet place.

Journalling means jumping between a notes app, a mood tracker, and a group chat that never quite gets it. Jona brings those into one calm space that actually understands the thread.

A journal that starts for you

Meet the blank page with a gentle prompt, or just start typing. Write freely, jot a line, or speak it out loud. No streaks, no perfect entries, no pressure to perform.

Write freely →

A mood tracker you'll keep up

A ten-second check-in turns scattered feelings into patterns you can see. Notice what lifts you and what weighs on you, over days and weeks, without the spreadsheet.

A companion who listens

When writing isn't enough, talk it through. Jona reflects your own words back, asks the right next question, and helps you get somewhere. Support in your corner, not advice barked at you.

Why it helps

Small check-ins, real relief.

You don't need a diagnosis to want a place to put your feelings down. Jona is built for the ordinary weight of being a person.

Make sense of the noise

Get what's spinning in your head out of it, and see it more clearly.

Spot patterns early

See the dips and lifts coming before they build into something bigger.

Feel less alone at 2am

Someone to think out loud with when there's no one to call.

Build a gentle habit

A minute a day is enough. Jona meets you where you are, not where you should be.

Keep it truly private

Your words stay yours. Encrypted, never sold, never used to judge you.

Learn what actually helps

See which small things move your mood, so you can do more of them.

How it works

Four ways in. One thread.

Write it, track it, or talk it through, and Jona keeps the whole picture together so nothing you share falls through the cracks.

So, how are you really?

Open Jona and there's already a way in: a gentle prompt, a fresh page, or the mic. Write a paragraph or a single line. It all counts, and it all stays private.

  • Prompts when the page feels blank
  • Type or speak your entry
  • Private and encrypted by default
  • Search back through everything you've felt

Notice the pattern.

Tag how you feel in a few taps. Jona turns those tiny moments into a picture of your week, so a rough patch stops feeling random and starts making sense.

  • Ten-second daily check-ins
  • Mood, energy and what shaped it
  • Weekly and monthly views
  • Gentle nudges, never guilt trips

Talk it through.

Some things you can't untangle on the page alone. Jona's companion listens, reflects your own words back, and asks the questions that help you find your next step, on your terms.

  • There any hour, no waitlist
  • Remembers your context, privately
  • Asks, reflects, never lectures
  • Points to a gentle next step

See yourself clearly.

Over time, Jona shows you the shape of how you've been, the lifts, the triggers, the small wins, so you can be a little kinder to yourself and do more of what works.

  • Mood trends at a glance
  • What lifts you, what weighs on you
  • Streaks and small achievements
  • A kind weekly summary
A look inside

Calm to open. Easy to keep.

Every screen is designed to feel like a deep breath, not another notification fighting for you. Here's what a day with Jona looks like.

Yours, and only yours

What you tell Jona stays with you.

Honesty needs somewhere safe to land. Your entries and conversations are private by design, so you can write the true thing, not the tidy version.

  • End-to-end encrypted entries and chats
  • Never sold, never used to train on your identity
  • Lock with Face ID or a passcode
  • Export or delete everything, any time
Who it's for

For the days that don't have a name.

Jona isn't only for a crisis. It's for the ordinary, in-between moments most apps ignore.

For when

It's all a bit much

You're overwhelmed and don't know where to start. Jona gives you a first sentence and somewhere to put the rest.

For when

It's late and quiet

There's no one to text at 2am. Jona is awake, patient, and genuinely there to hear it.

For when

Support has a waitlist

Therapy is weeks away and you need something now. Jona holds the space between appointments.

For when

You just want to know yourself

No fire to put out, only curiosity. Jona helps you notice the patterns underneath your days.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

The honest answers to what people ask before they download Jona.

Is Jona a replacement for therapy?
No, and it doesn't pretend to be. Jona is a supportive companion for everyday emotional wellbeing, not a medical, diagnostic, or crisis service. It works beautifully alongside therapy, and if you're ever in crisis it will point you to real human help.
Is it really private?
Yes. Your entries and conversations are encrypted, never sold, and never used to judge you. You can lock the app with Face ID or a passcode, and export or delete all of your data whenever you want.
Do I have to write a lot?
Not at all. A single line, an emoji, or a ten-second mood check-in all count. Jona is designed to meet you where you are on a hard day, not to demand a perfect journal entry.
What can the companion actually do?
It listens, reflects your own words back to you, and asks gentle questions to help you think things through. It remembers your context privately so you don't have to start over each time. It won't lecture you or hand out one-size-fits-all advice.
Which devices is it on?
Jona is available for iPhone on the App Store and for Android on Google Play. Your journal, moods, and conversations sync securely across your devices.
Does it cost anything?
Jona is free to start, with everything you need to journal and check in daily. An optional plan unlocks deeper insights and unlimited companion conversations if you want more.
What if I'm going through something serious?
Please reach out to a person who can help. Jona isn't a crisis line. If you're in the UK or ROI you can call Samaritans on 116 123, any time, free. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
