Questions
Is Dayfold free?
Yes. Writing, saving and looking back through your reflections are free.
Do I need an account?
You can try a sample reflection without one. To save reflections and keep a history, create a free account with an email and password. There’s no confirmation email, so you can start straight away. If you forget your password, Dayfold can email you a reset link, and you also get a recovery key as a backup.
Can the feeling suggestions be wrong?
Yes. They come from a small, openly licensed language model that runs in your browser, and they’re guesses about your words, not readings of how you feel. Accept, remove or change them, add your own, skip them, or turn suggestions off.
Who can see my reflections?
Only you, when you’re signed in. They’re stored in Dayfold’s database so you can come back to them; they aren’t shared, sold or used for advertising or analytics. If an organization shared a link to Dayfold with you, it doesn’t receive your entries or the feelings you record.
What is the stress-language check?
An optional check that uses a classifier from Aarav’s research, trained on Reddit posts that people labelled as stress-related or not. It runs in your browser after a one-time download and suggests whether your words contain stress-related language, or says it isn’t sure. It can’t tell how stressed you are or diagnose anything. If you agree with it, Stressed is added to your feelings; the model’s suggestion itself is never saved.
Can I edit, export or delete my entries?
Yes. Edit or delete any entry in place, export your journal, or delete your account and its data from settings.
Is Dayfold a therapy service?
No. Dayfold is a reflection journal. It doesn’t diagnose or treat anything and isn’t a crisis service. If you’re struggling, please reach out to a health professional or a local support service.
