About SEL Journal

SEL Journal is a personal reflection app designed to help students explore and express their emotions through daily journaling. Built with offline (local) storage, the app provides a safe and private space for learners to write about their thoughts, moods, and experiences — this means journals are stored only on the user's computer, not online. Inspired by Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) principles, it encourages mindfulness, self-awareness, and emotional growth.
