A loop, not a chore.
Five things happen between opening noor and closing it two minutes later. Here they are — including the parts most apps keep vague.
-
Step 1
Check in
Open noor and slide the mood dial — a one-second honest answer to “how are you arriving?” It takes no willpower, and it quietly becomes the baseline your growth is measured against.
Mood is captured before and after each entry, so you can see what journaling actually does for you.
-
Step 2
Speak or write
Record a voice note on the walk home, or type three lines before bed. noor transcribes speech as you talk. There's a gentle prompt if you're stuck, and silence if you're not.
No minimum length. A tired sentence counts.
-
Step 3
noor reads it
Your entry is read with real attention, alongside your recent ones. The analysis comes back in parts: how you seem to feel, the pattern underneath it, what's going right — the gratitude, strengths and resources in your own words — one or two questions worth sitting with, and a line of gentle context.
When the same struggle comes back, Then and Now says what has changed since you last wrote about it — so recurring loops get named instead of repeated.
-
Step 4
Patterns surface
Charts show your mood over weeks; Weekly Synthesis draws the days together; living lists collect your gratitude, strengths, and resources. And when an entry deserves more, Sofia — your AI companion — is there to talk it through, with a short rolling memory of what matters so nothing starts from zero.
The memory is a ~paragraph summary you can wipe at any time — not a transcript.
-
Step 5
It stays yours
Guest mode keeps everything on your device; Cloud Sync is optional. Export your whole journal as JSON or CSV whenever you like, or delete it permanently — immediately, device and cloud together.
The Privacy Policy covers the whole journey in plain language.
Grounded, not clinical
noor's reflections draw on well-studied ideas — used carefully, and with clear limits.
Informed by evidence
The reflection style is informed by CBT- and ACT-adjacent thinking: noticing unhelpful thought patterns, naming what an entry actually shows, and asking questions instead of issuing advice. The ideas noor may draw on are listed inside the app under Teachings, each with what the evidence says and when it is the wrong tool.
A companion, by design
Sofia is an AI companion — not a therapist, and never presented as one. noor is a self-reflection tool that can sit alongside professional care, not replace it.
Clear about limits
noor is not an emergency service and doesn't monitor entries in real time. The SOS screen keeps crisis resources one tap away — and if you're in crisis, your local emergency number comes first.
Begin tonight.
One honest voice note before bed. That's all a first entry is — and it's further than most people ever get.
