Bad Days

Some days need a witness.

Bad Days is a private diary for the days you don't want to post about. No likes, no followers, no performance. Just you, a blank page, and a few quiet tools for when the world feels too loud.

WRITE WITHOUT AN AUDIENCE
Open the app and write. Nothing is metered, nothing is counted against you. Set the "weight of the day" on a simple slider (Quiet, Numb, Hollow, Solitude, Restless, Heavy) and the entry remembers how the day actually felt, not just what happened.

WHISPER TO YOUR DIARY
When words are easier spoken than typed, record a voice note straight into the entry. Your recordings stay on your device unless you choose to back them up.

FOR HEAVY MOMENTS
A dedicated space you can reach in two taps:
- Breathing Ritual, a guided 4-7-8 visual pulse to slow the heart
- Tactile Focus, the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding practice for anxiety peaks
- The Burn, write what haunts you, then watch it dissolve into nothing
- The Archive of Calm, anonymous letters of hope from people who navigated their own dark
- Ambient Sanctuary, low-frequency soundscapes to sit inside
- Your Lifeline, a one-tap emergency contact you set up in advance
- Crisis Text Line, Warmline Directory and international helpline links, always free

EMOTIONAL WEATHER
Your calendar becomes a constellation, one star per entry, coloured by how the day felt. Search everything you've written, filter by mood, and see your streaks and totals without any of it turning into a game you can lose.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- Your entries live on your device by default
- Lock your diary behind Face ID or Touch ID, free, forever
- Sign in with Apple, Google, or stay completely anonymous, no email required
- Choose an alias and a glyph instead of a real name
- We never use your writing for advertising and never sell or share it with third parties
- Delete your account and everything in it from Settings, any time

MADE TO SIT IN THE DARK
Six themes, Midnight, Dawn, Eclipse, Void, Moss and Rust, with typography and a film-grain finish designed for reading at 2am rather than shouting for attention.
