Daybook Guides
Practical, privacy-first guides for using each Daybook module.
Journaling
Write for five minutes, tag a mood, and review weekly patterns. Encryption is automatic — the key is yours alone.
Budgeting
Set a monthly limit per category, then log each transaction. Watch progress bars turn amber before you overspend.
Document safety
Store IDs and records encrypted. Photos have hidden location and device details removed, and are resized before encryption.
Life admin
Capture recurring tasks once — renew passport, update will, car service. Review due-soon and overdue flags weekly.
Regulation
Use 4-7-8 breathing and grounding ideas when your nervous system is elevated. This is regulation, not therapy.
BIFF communication
Do not match hostile tone. Reply Brief, Informative, Friendly, Firm — state the practical content and hold your boundary.
Common questions
Is my data really private?
Yes. Everything is encrypted with a key derived from your password and stored only on your device. There is no server, no account and no tracking.
How much time does journaling take?
Five minutes a day is enough to start. Consistency beats length — tag a mood, write a few lines, and review the patterns weekly.
Do I need to use every module?
No. Start with one — the journal or life admin tracker — and add modules as they become useful. The tools work independently.
