Journaling doesn't work when you lie to yourself

FAQ
The Shadow is the part of you that hijacks your innocent intent. The voice that sabotages, delays and distracts. This app names it, tracks it and weakens its grip.
This isn't just for writing your thoughts. This is a battlefield. The app is built around self-confrontation, nervous system recovery, and building rituals that rewire you.
No. You write when you're hijacked, or when something breaks through. Even one honest entry can reveal weeks of patterns.
No, but it can feel like it. Shadow is a self-exploration tool, not a replacement for professional help. If you're in crisis, seek support.
Yes. Everything is encrypted. Nothing is shared or sold. Your war stays between you and the shadow.
Shadow is rooted in nervous system theory, vagus nerve stimulation, and cognitive pattern disruption. The same methods used in trauma recovery and performance psychology.
Currently, we're only available on iOS, but have plans to come to the Play Store later this year.
