Understand what influences your mood - with data, not guesses. Clinical screenings (PHQ-9, GAD-7), 100+ influence factors, 100% offline. One-time purchase €9.99.
How does it actually surface those 100+ influence factors without any third-party integrations, since you mention it works fully offline?
@yiitgervdeu The factors don't come from integrations at all, they're a curated library built into the app across categories like sleep, social life, work, health, weather, habits and medication, and you can add your own on top.
Logging them is a one-tap thing when you record your mood. To keep that fast, the app learns which factors are relevant to you and ranks suggestions by weekday patterns, time of day, recent usage and which factors tend to appear together, so you usually see the right ones first instead of scrolling a long list.
The only optional connections are Apple's own frameworks: Apple Health (to suggest factors like workouts or sleep from data already on your phone) and weather. Both are opt-in and off by default.
The insights part is pure on-device statistics: the app compares your mood on days with vs. without a factor, checks delayed effects (does poor sleep hit you one or two days later?), and looks at factor combinations.
How does the app actually surface the influence factors without ever sending data anywhere, does it learn from patterns locally or just log them for you to look at?
@lates63055 Both, actually. It learns locally in a small way: the app ranks factor suggestions based on your own usage patterns (weekday, time of day, factors that appear together), so logging stays a one-tap thing. And for insights it runs plain statistics on-device: comparing your mood on days with vs. without a factor, checking delayed effects one or two days later, and looking at factor combinations. Nothing leaves your phone for any of this, there's no server involved at all, which is also why it works fully offline. (More detail in my reply to Yiğit above.)
