Everything you need to know about brdcrmb.

The latest neuroscience research shows that dedicating just a few minutes each day to micro-journaling yields significant benefits for both cognitive function and emotional well-being. You don't need to sit down and write out long entries in a pristine moleskin notebook if you want to journal β€” you can text us your thoughts as they happen. Writing in the moment and connecting with yourself like this can be a simple yet effective tool for cultivating self-awareness, fostering personal development, and improving emotional regulation.

We leverage the industry's most advanced large language models to categorize, tag, and structure your journal entries. By analyzing your content, tone, and context, our AI is able to organize your entries by mood, emotion, or theme β€” turning raw data into a well-structured personal database. This advanced analysis not only provides insights into your patterns and growth over time but also powers the search functionality, allowing you to instantly find specific memories, feelings, or observations using natural language queries, even if you don't remember the exact words you used.

Privacy is at the core of what we do. Your entries are fully secured using industry-leading, end-to-end encryption to ensure maximum data protection. While our advanced AI processes your entries to provide organization and insights, all journal content remains anonymized on the backend, and no humans (other than you) ever have access to read what you write. We employ best-in-class security protocols to ensure that your entries truly remain for your eyes only.

brdcrmb reflections are weekly or monthly insights gleaned from your micro-journal entries shedding light on everything from little details you might have missed to the bigger picture themes developing in your life. We do this by using our EmotionAI tool to surface details, spot patterns, and track how your mood shifts over time. These insights can help you get a better handle on yourself. Think of them not as a substitute for self-reflection, but as a friendly nudge, giving you the tools to connect with your own consciousness more effectively on your own.

This is our tool for analyzing your entries and identifying themes or patterns and highlighting the moods and emotions you're feeling through text. We use Google's GoEmotions taxonomy of 27 emotional categories to provide a framework for analyzing how each entry "feels."

Breadcrumbs are our way of connecting the dots between your thoughts. Modern life moves fast and we're often so focused on the next thing that we don't take time to slow down and reflect. By carving out just a few minutes every day to text your thoughts into brdcrmb, we can use EmotionAI to spot patterns, identify themes, and connect seemingly unrelated entries over time β€” we call these breadcrumbs.

Yes, yes it would! We built a progress dashboard so you can see everything from the number of words you're averaging per entry to the top themes or emotions you're feeling over any period of time.

brdcrmb is free to use for the first 30 days. After your free trial ends, a subscription costs either $2.99/month, $29.99/year, or a one-time $59.99 payment that gives you access for life.
