Aura is a mood journal with five cats in it. Tap the cat that feels most like your day, add a few words if you want to, and that cat comes to sit with you.
That's the whole check-in. Ten seconds on a busy day, longer when you need it. There are no streaks to keep and no scores, and nothing is lost if you disappear for a week. They'll just be glad you're back.
MEET THE CATS
Bumble, for great days. Bouncy, delighted by everything, has knocked over every pencil pot.
Apricot, for good days. Warm and cuddly. Gives head bonks. Thinks you're wonderful.
Pebble, for okay days. Calm and very hard to impress. Secretly loves you.
Mallow, for low days. Soft and sleepy. Lives under a blanket. Always has tea on.
Drizzle, for the awful ones. Quiet and tender. Stays close. Cries at nice songs.
HARD DAYS ARE ALLOWED
Nobody tries to cheer you up. Drizzle just sits with you. There's a minute of slow breathing if you want it, and a worry box: write the worry down, put it in, and Pebble sits on the lid. If something you write sounds like more than a bad day, Aura shows free, confidential helplines for your country.
NOTICE WHAT HELPS
Your month as a calendar of little cats. The words you reached for this week. And, over time, the little things that keep turning up on your lighter days: time outside, a friend, an early night. You can bring in sleep and steps from Apple Health too.
THEY HAVE A LITTLE LIFE IN HERE
The cats share a room that follows the time of day, the weather and the real moon. Pet them (each one likes it differently), dangle a feather, and tuck all five in at bedtime. They keep a diary, bring you small gifts, have birthdays, and tuck stickers into your journal. Reminders come as a message from whichever cat is visiting that day.

JUST FOR YOU
No account and no ads. Your pages live on your device, not on our servers. Lock the journal with Face ID. Make a backup locked with your own password that nobody else can open, us included. Photos and voice notes never leave your device.
FREE, AND AURA PLUS
The journal is free for good: check-ins, every page and every month, a photo on each page, all five cats and their room, hard-day support, widgets, backups and export. Now and then, one of the cats even writes back to a page, as a little gift. The cats' notes are written with AI: your page is read privately, then forgotten, and you can turn them off any time.
Aura Plus is for when you'd like them to really know you: a note back on every page, cats who remember the little things you mention and ask how they went, a chat in the margin, everything that helped, and cozy extras like little guided notebooks and a bedtime story from all five.
Aura Plus is a monthly or yearly subscription, and the yearly one starts with a free week. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
Aura is a journal. It isn't therapy or a medical device, and it doesn't diagnose or treat anything. If you're struggling, please talk to someone you trust or a professional.
