Frequently asked

A calm, private daily journal for your phone. Each journey gives you a short reading from a faith tradition, one question to sit with, a small practice and room to write. It takes about five minutes a day.

Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhi, each with eight journeys: the Daily Practice, a seasonal journey, and journeys for grief, hard seasons, new beginnings, marriage, motherhood and fatherhood. Sikh Reflections is available now. The others are released one by one, after review by people who know and practise each tradition.

Yes. That is who it is written for. Every term, season and practice is explained in plain words, and nothing assumes you already pray, observe anything or belong to a community.

No. It describes each tradition in its own words, from its own texts, and invites you to reflect. It does not rank traditions, settle debates within them or speak for any religious authority. It is meant to sit alongside your own community, teachers and practice, never to replace them.

Each journey is drawn from the tradition's own sources and released only after review by people who know and practise that tradition. The Practice Journal is independent and is not endorsed by any religious organisation.

The app is in 21 languages. Each tradition's journeys are written in the five languages most used by people of that tradition, listed on its page. Where a journey is not written in your language, you can read it in English.

Pick up where you left off. Days are numbered, not dated, so there is nothing to fall behind on. Seasonal journeys can be used in their season or at any time of year.

On your phone. Your writing is not uploaded to our servers and we cannot read it. An account is optional and is only used to keep your purchases on your account across devices.

No. Every journey starts with free days: seven, or three for a seasonal journey. After that you buy only what you want, once: $9.99 a journey, $4.99 a seasonal journey, $24.99 a tradition bundle, or $49.99 for All-Access.

A tradition bundle includes every journey in one tradition, including journeys added to it later. All-Access includes every journey in every tradition, now and later. Both go on sale once more journeys are released.
