DaoJournal

DaoJournal is a mobile app (iOS/Android) that helps users practice Taoist reflection without turning it into a gamified self-help treadmill. Each day it offers one short passage from public-domain Taoist texts (e.g., Tao Te Ching translations with proper attribution) plus a single prompt designed to encourage observation, non-striving, and alignment with natural rhythms. Users can log mood, energy, sleep, and a brief “what flowed / what forced” note. Over time, the app shows gentle patterns (not scores) like which situations correlate with tension or ease. An optional AI mode rewrites the user’s entry into a concise, neutral reflection and suggests one small experiment for the next day (e.g., “remove one unnecessary step”). The app is intentionally minimal: no streak pressure, no leaderboards, no pseudo-mystical claims.
