About IFS Journal
A journaling tool that helps you notice and understand your "parts."
What is IFS?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapy framework developed by Richard Schwartz. It treats the mind as a system of parts — Managers that plan and control, Firefighters that distract from pain, Protectors that guard vulnerability, and Exiles that carry old wounds. The goal is not to get rid of parts but to understand and relate to them with curiosity and care.
IFS Journal is a structured writing space: you write entries, and Claude (an AI model) highlights passages that might reflect each part, grounded in the actual text you wrote. You can then have conversations with any part to explore it further.
Important — this is not therapy
IFS Journal is not a substitute for therapy.
It is a reflective writing tool, not a clinician. AI-generated analysis can be wrong. If you are in crisis, please reach out to a real person — in the US, you can call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline) 24/7. Internationally, see findahelpline.com.
Privacy in short
Your entries are stored on our servers and sent to Anthropic's Claude API for analysis. We do not train models on your writing, and we do not sell your data. You can export or delete everything at any time. Details in the Privacy Policy.
