Private journaling stays free
Bright Spots is a private journal for the moments that made your day better. Add a note, attach a photo, and share only what you want with the people in your circles.
Simple tools for capturing, revisiting, and sharing the moments that matter.
Write down your bright spots in seconds. Your private journaling experience stays free.
Add a photo, apply tags, and keep each entry easy to revisit later.
Scroll back through your entries, jump to dates, and search by tags or photos.
Share selected bright spots with the people you choose. Family can stay separate from friends, and friends can stay separate from everyone else.
When you choose to share, Bright Spots uses your Apple iCloud account and CloudKit sharing to make circles work.
Free includes one circle. Bright Spots Plus lets you create up to four circles and unlocks new features over time.
Create a circle
Make a circle for close friends, family, or anyone else you want to share with.
Send the share link
Invite people with a share link so they can join that circle in Bright Spots.
Share selected entries
Your journal stays private by default. You choose which bright spots belong in each circle.
Bright Spots is made for short reflections, meaningful memories, and intentional sharing.
