Companion to the plushies

Pick the friend that fits.

A companion app to the Plushie Dreadfuls plushies. Every friend in the collection is here. Browse, pick the one for today, switch them out whenever you want.

Your friend lives on the home screen.

Breathing softly. Waiting. Tap for a shake, long press for a happy bounce, swipe to make them lean, scratch to make them wiggle. They react to your mood too, and the burrow itself changes from morning to midday to night.

Write your page. Add stickers if you want.

Pages look hand drawn. Lined paper, soft ink, gentle margins. Pick your pen color, or write in rainbow. Mark your mood with a heart, a paw, a flower, a sparkle, a moon, a sun, or a cloud. Or leave nothing. The page is yours.

A starter sticker pack is included, hand drawn and a little mischievous, with four more packs to collect. Drag, resize, rotate, remove. Keep a page plain, or cover it in sparkle.

Drafts autosave, so an interrupted entry survives. Handwriting with Apple Pencil works on iPad. When you want a copy, export your pages as a PDF or as plain text.

Mark how you are, in one tap.

Six moods sit under your companion: happy, cozy, sleepy, okay, anxious, down. Tap one and your plushie reacts. When none of them fit, there is an honest "something else" that takes you straight to a page instead of making you pick a lie.

Make your own, too. Build a face from eyes and mouths, tint the background any color you like, and give the feeling its own name. Your custom moods sit first in the picker, ready for next time.

Dress the mood up.

Moods can wear things. Hats, neckwear, accents, little accessories like glasses, freckles, a floating moon. A set of them is free for everyone, and The Mood Box opens the rest in one purchase, including the masks.

One item from each category at a time, so a mood stays recognizably itself while still being unmistakably yours.

See the shape of your month.

A full mood calendar, one month at a time. Swipe between months, tap any day to write to it or fill in a mood you missed, and read a quiet summary underneath: how many times you came back, how many days you noticed, how many pages you wrote.

It is deliberately not a scoreboard. A quiet month gets one warm line instead of a wall of zeros.

A soft hello, only when you want one.

Your friend can drop in with a quiet check in. Set the time window. Set how often. No guilt. No missed goal messages. Just a soft hi.

Private by design.

Your words and moods live in a database on your device. No accounts. No cloud sync of your pages. No one reads them, not even us. We do collect anonymous product analytics to see what needs fixing, and your journal text and mood names are never part of it. Your burrow is yours.

The plushies are real, too.

Every friend in The Burrow is a real plushie made by Plushie Dreadfuls. If your pocket friend has you wanting an in person counterpart, the shop is open.

Questions

Things people ask.

Is The Burrow free?

Yes, and there are no ads. A starter sticker pack is included. Optional purchases are four more sticker packs and The Mood Box, which opens the paid mood parts in one go. Learn more

Does The Burrow have daily streaks?

Yes, gentle ones. Writing each day grows your streak, a small warm number that cheers the habit along. There are no missed goal messages and no guilt if a day slips; your pages simply wait for you. Learn more

Can I track my mood in The Burrow?

Yes. Tap one of six moods under your companion, or build your own from eyes, mouths, a background color and a name. A mood calendar then shows your month at a glance, and you can fill in days you missed. Learn more

What is The Mood Box?

One optional purchase that opens every paid eye, mouth and accessory at once, including the masks. A set of accessories is free for everyone without it, and the app itself is free with no ads. Learn more

Is my journal private? Does it work offline?

Your pages and moods stay in a local database on your device, and no account is needed. We collect anonymous product analytics to improve the app, never your journal text or mood names. You can export your pages as a PDF or plain text whenever you want a copy. Learn more

I have never journaled. How do I start?

Start with one honest sentence about today. Pick a companion, write a line, add a sticker if you feel like it, and stop while it still feels good. That is a complete practice. Learn more

Can I decorate my pages with stickers?

Yes. Drag, resize, rotate, layer, and remove hand drawn stickers on lined pages. Keep a page plain or cover it in sparkle. Sticker layouts are saved exactly as you left them. Learn more
