Essgefühl: Emotional Eating

Essgefühl helps you understand emotional eating — without diets, restrictions, or calorie counting. Every moment clears a little fog from your personal map. Sleep Mountains, Stress Gorge, Routine Plains, Social Coast, and Mood Forest reveal connections without judging them. Bo, your small expedition companion, stays beside you along the way. WHAT MAKES ESSGEFÜHL DIFFERENT • No calorie counting — awareness over control • No guilt — every moment is judgment-free • No diet program — you learn to understand yourself • Private by design — your moments stay on your device HOW IT WORKS Before eating: Today asks “What is this hunger about?” A small ink mark records what your body said. After eating: Reflect on how eating affected your mood. In the moment: When an urge appears, choose from 32 evidence-based coping strategies, including breathing, movement, and connection prompts. THE INNER EXPEDITION • An illustrated map, a whole-land view and a quiet night by the fire • The Atlas shows landmarks with drawings and findings; from there you can fly to them on the map • Altitude stages celebrate consistency, never restriction • Gentle natural ambience and light haptic feedback in Explore • iOS widget for your moments and charted progress THREE PLACES, A SEAL, AND MORE • Today: the hunger question, your ink mark and Bo beside you • Patterns: your week in words and the Atlas with drawings and findings • Logbook: your history with one mark per moment, day by day • More: Explore, with your illustrated map, the camp and Bo, plus Findings, the journal, the reading, gratitude and every setting The wax seal at the centre of the strip opens a new moment — one tap away, from any screen. The strip stays with you wherever you are reading. Essgefühl does not grade what you eat: no points, no daily score, no streak that punishes you. It describes what you recorded — “Relaxed appeared in 4 of 9 moments” — and says plainly that this is not a diagnosis or a cause. Findings state their counts and time period; they give no scores.

No advertising analytics, cloud accounts, or sale of personal data. You stay in control, including export and complete deletion. Essgefühl draws on research into emotional eating, intuitive eating, mindfulness, and self-compassion. It is not a medical device and does not replace professional advice or treatment.
