What it does
Cognitive Diary is a privacy-first self-reflection app combining structured CBT journaling with guided breathing exercises. Instead of blank notes, it offers thought records, anxiety tracking, mood trends, and exposure logs in a calm interface. All sensitive data is encrypted locally, works offline, and no account is required unless you enable sync. No social feed, no noise - just a clear, secure space to think better.
A gentle space to untangle thoughts, track your progress, and reset your nervous system. Many people struggle not because they lack insight — but because everything feels tangled. Cognitive Diary is designed to gently organize what’s happening inside. Event, beliefs, consequences, disputation, and a new effect. Quick assessments to spot patterns and track progress over time. Whether you want quick calm or deeper insight, Cognitive Diary meets you where you are. Yes. Core features are free, and you can upgrade to PRO anytime. PRO unlocks advanced self-checks and optional cloud sync across devices. Only if you want PRO or cloud backup. Otherwise you can stay offline. Yes. Optional cloud…from vitaliikovalov.com

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
