Frequently asked questions

How does the Journal Prompt Picker work?

It ranks a curated prompt library by your selected goal, current mood, and available time. You can request another result without sending any journal content.

Are these therapy prompts?

No. The prompts support ordinary personal reflection and are not mental-health assessment, diagnosis, treatment, or crisis support.

Does the picker use AI to read what I write?

No. The picker does not ask for or process your journal response. It selects from a fixed, human-reviewed library in your browser.
