SORA - A JOURNAL APP ☮

Reetaish K.

Reetaish K.

A minimal journaling app designed to make reflection feel easy, calming, and part of everyday life.

About the project

This is a self-initiated mobile app concept exploring how journaling can feel less overwhelming and more natural. The idea was to remove friction from writing, help users track moods quickly, and create a gentle daily ritual instead of a task.

What I focused on

Making it easy to start writing
Reducing “blank page anxiety”
Mood tracking in seconds
Calm, non-clinical visual design
Daily-use friendly navigation

Key features

Mood check-in with quick slider
Guided journaling prompts
Daily reflection home screen
Mood trends & emotional patterns
Quick actions for fast entries

My role

Wireframing → Visual design → Interaction thinking → App flow. Tools: Figma, AI tools for copywriting, ideation & illustrations

Design direction

Instead of productivity-style journaling, the app is designed to feel warm and emotionally safe.
Soft color palette
Rounded components
Minimal decisions per screen
Focused on “start writing fast”
Gentle prompts instead of instructions

Screens & flows

Onboarding → emotional entry point
Mood logging → 1-step interaction
Journaling → prompt-led writing
Home → daily reflection dashboard

Outcome

A simple, calm journaling experience focused on consistency rather than features.
The project helped me explore:
Emotional UX
Habit-driven product thinking
Designing for low-energy states
Visual tone for mental wellness apps

The goal wasn’t to design another journaling app, but to design something people would actually return to.
