A companion for TBI recovery

You don't have to remember it all.
Just write it down.

Sunrise is a calm, simple journal built for life after brain injury. Track how your days really go, share it with your care team when words are hard to find, and see your own progress over time. Built by a TBI survivor who needed it too.

Built from experience

Kristin Abello rebuilt her life after a traumatic brain injury that changed everything.

Out of her recovery came Sunrise. First a book, then a companion journal, and now this app, designed to offer the same sense of encouragement and structure that supported her healing journey.

Her story reflects resilience, faith, and the belief that every small step forward matters. Sunrise was created so others walking a similar path could have a safe space to track progress and feel supported.

Daily journal

Track your days so you can actually remember them

A gentle space to reflect on your mood, sleep, clarity, and energy. Short entries that build an honest picture of your recovery. One you can look back on, and one you can share with the people helping you heal.
