Journal Prompt Deck

“Give me one prompt at a time so I'm not staring at a blank page.”

Forty-eight writing prompts drawn from a proper shuffle, a fifteen-minute timer, and an honest size for what expressive writing does — including the part where it makes you feel worse first. The harder cards say so on the card.

  • Seven categories you can switch on and off, from lighter to genuinely difficult
  • Every card comes up once before any of them repeats — drawn with real randomness
  • A timer set to the 15–20 minutes the actual protocol used, with pause and resume
  • Keeps what you write in this page only, and exports the lot as plain text
  • The two meta-analyses side by side: d = 0.47 from 13 studies, d = 0.15 from 146

How it works

Three steps, then you're done

Pick the kinds of card you want

Then draw. Draw again if that one isn't today.

Start the timer and write

Continuously. Spelling and grammar genuinely do not matter.

Keep it or don't

What you keep can be downloaded; what you don't disappears.

Nothing you type ever leaves your computer. There is no account, no login and no server. Switch your wi-fi off and it still works — that's not a promise about our policy, it's just how the tool is built.

Questions

Do I need to install anything?

No. Each tool is a single file. Double-click it and it opens in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox — whichever you already have. No account, no password, no software.

Does anything get uploaded?

No. Your numbers and files never leave your computer — the tools have no way to send them and no internet connection is needed to run them. You can switch your wi-fi off and they still work.

I'm not good with computers. Is this too hard?

The first thing every tool does is walk you through it in five short screens with pictures. Then there's a button that fills it with example numbers so you can watch it work before touching anything.

Will it work on my phone?

Yes. Email yourself the file and open the attachment, or drop the files in iCloud Drive, Dropbox or Google Drive and open them from there — then they're on every device you own.
