LESS TO HOLD IN YOUR HEAD
An ordinary day.Still worth keeping.
OwnLight is a private journalling and reflection app from Appsolutely Labs LLC. Alongside writing, mood check-ins, photos and voice notes, it offers Stories, offline sounds, guided programmes and optional AI reflections.
A little space, in real life
For the dayyou’re actually having.
Save a few words, a photo or a voice note while the details are still yours.
Choose an entry for an optional AI reflection, with prompts to help you keep writing.
01 / MAKE A LITTLE ROOM
Start anywhere.Make it yours.
One sentence or a whole story. A photo of something small. A voice note while the feeling is still fresh. There’s more than one way to keep a moment.
01
Put it into words
Write freely, or let a gentle prompt give you somewhere to begin.
02
Keep more than words
Bring photos and voice notes into your journal. Plus adds more photos per entry, longer voice notes and voice transcription.
03
Find another perspective
Ask for an optional AI reflection on an entry you choose, with questions to help you keep thinking. Reflections use AI credits; the app shows the cost before you proceed.
02 / MEET YOURSELF WHERE YOU ARE
Every kind of daybelongs here.
A quick check-in makes room for how you feel. Over time, your record helps you look back at your days with a little more context. No need to turn every feeling into a paragraph.

MORE WAYS TO MAKE ROOM
Not every momentneeds the same space.
Stories
Keep the moments together.
A weekend, a celebration, a friendship. Bring selected moments into a Story and invite your people to add theirs. Together or apart, make something you can look back on together.
Stories are private by default. Sharing a Story does not share your everyday journal.
StoriesSounds
A softer background to your day.
Rain, waves, forest sounds and more, made on your phone so they work offline. Put something gentle behind your writing, or settle into a quieter moment.
Choose the volume, set a stop timer, or let sounds soften towards bedtime.
SoundsProgrammes
A little direction. One prompt at a time.
Explore gratitude, being kinder to yourself, or a time of change with a guided sequence of writing prompts. Take each day at your own pace.
7 days of gratitude is free. The other programmes require a Plus subscription.

Words, a quiet moment, a familiar face. Explore the parts of OwnLight that fit your day.
Your character
A familiar face. A space that feels like you.
OwnLight’s characters add a little company to your journal. Choose a face you like, give it a name if you want, or keep the app without one. They are part of the atmosphere, not a requirement to write.

AI journalling tools
Another perspective. Still your words.
OwnLight’s AI corner gives you three ways to work with your writing. Use it when it helps, skip it when it does not. Your journal does not need AI to be yours.

PERSONAL MEANS PERSONAL
Your journal.Your say.
Privacy belongs in every plan, including Free. Your everyday journal is private, sharing is your choice, and optional AI processes only the content needed for the tool you choose, after consent.
Entries kept on your phone
Journal entries are kept in an encrypted store on your phone. The optional app lock is free.
Sharing is always a choice
Stories start private. You choose whether someone can view or contribute to a particular Story. Ordinary journal entries and moments are not shared.
AI only when you ask
AI is optional. Reflect processes one chosen entry; Ask your journal processes relevant entries selected for your question; Describe your day processes the words you supply. Consent is required before processing. You can keep a journal without AI.
Your entries aren’t training material
Entries are not used to train AI models. The app’s own privacy notice and terms will explain its data practices before you start using it.
Sensitive data stays out of targeting
Health, motion and mood data, including insights inferred from them, are not used for ads, analytics, marketing or upselling.
A LITTLE CLARITY, UP FRONT

How AI credits work
Use credits when you choose AI
AI features such as reflections spend AI credits. The app shows the credit cost before you use a feature. Writing and mood check-ins do not use AI credits.
An allowance with Plus
Plus includes a monthly AI credit allowance. Your subscription unlocks its features; your credit balance covers AI usage.
Top up with an active subscription
An active Plus subscription is required to purchase additional AI credits. You cannot buy AI credit top-ups on the Free plan.
Prices and the confirmed allowance will be shown at launch. Features and availability may evolve before release.
BEFORE YOU SETTLE IN
A little more to know.
When can I download OwnLight?
OwnLight is coming soon for iPhone and Android. A launch date has not been announced. This site will provide official download links when the app is ready.
Do I need to write every day?
No. OwnLight is designed for short check-ins, longer entries and moments you want to keep. You can return to your journal at your own pace.
Do I have to use AI?
AI is optional. Reflect processes one chosen entry; Ask your journal processes relevant entries selected for your question; Describe your day processes the words you supply. Consent is required before processing. You can keep a journal without AI.
How much will OwnLight cost?
OwnLight has a Free plan for core journalling and a paid Plus subscription for additional features, including more programmes, media options and an AI credit allowance. Extra AI credits can only be purchased with an active Plus subscription. Prices will be confirmed at launch.
Can I buy AI credits on the Free plan?
No. Buying additional AI credits requires an active Plus subscription. Plus includes a monthly allowance, and eligible subscribers can buy top-ups. This purchase rule is separate from using credits already in your account.
Are all programmes included for free?
7 days of gratitude is free. The other guided programmes require a Plus subscription. These are writing prompts; using a programme does not itself spend AI credits.
Which languages will OwnLight support?
This website is available in US English, UK English, Spanish, French, German and Brazilian Portuguese. App language availability will be confirmed at launch; website translations do not confirm app language support.
Are my journal entries public?
Your everyday journal entries and moments are private. Stories are also private by default. You can choose to share a particular Story with viewing or contribution permission; that does not share the rest of your journal.
