Keep moving, one season at a time.

Unstuck is a simple journal for the days, weeks and seasons when you feel stuck. Write down what's holding you. Get three small ways forward. Over time, it learns what actually moves you.

How it works

Three steps, as often as you need them.

Name it

Write what has you stuck in a sentence. Choose the part of life it touches and how heavy it feels.

Pick a way forward

Unstuck offers three small actions, each with a first step and a time. Choose one and go.

Mark what moved you

Come back and say whether it worked. That one tap is how your suggestions get better.

Seasons

Thirteen weeks is long enough to change something.

Every season gets a name and an intention, like "Finish the draft" or "Settle into the new job." Each day fills in as you go, so you can see the shape of your progress instead of guessing at it.

  • A calendar for the whole season, week by week
  • Counts of what you logged, tried and moved past
  • Past seasons stay on record to look back on

It learns

The more you use it, the more it sounds like you.

Unstuck notices the words you use, which approaches you mark as working, and when something sounds like a past entry. Then it brings back what helped last time and sets aside what didn't.

Questions

Good to know

Is Unstuck free?

Yes. Unstuck is free to use. Sign in with your email to keep your journal safe and on all your devices, or try it first without an account.

Who can see what I write?

Only you. Your journal is tied to your account and nobody else can read it. You can erase it at any time from your account menu. Read the privacy policy for details.

Why 13-week seasons?

Three months is long enough for real change and short enough to see the finish. Each season starts with a name and an intention, so you know what you're moving toward.

How do the suggestions get more specific?

Each time you mark whether a suggestion moved you, Unstuck weighs that approach up or down. When you log something similar to an earlier entry, it brings back what worked before.

Can I add it to my phone's home screen?

Yes. Open Unstuck in your phone's browser and choose Add to Home Screen from the share or browser menu. It opens like an app.

Is this a replacement for therapy?

No. Unstuck is a tool for everyday momentum, not medical or mental health care. If you're struggling, please reach out to a professional or someone you trust. In the US, you can call or text 988 any time.

Start where you are.

Name one thing that has you stuck today. The first step will be smaller than you think.
