## What is Internal Family?

Discover a new way to understand and connect with your inner world.
With internal parts mapping, you can visualize and explore your inner “parts” through an interactive, calming map.

**Create Your Parts**
Give Each Part a Name, Role, and Color
Bring clarity to your inner system. Describe each part’s story and what it’s trying to protect or achieve.

**Check In & Journal**
Notice Patterns, Emotions, and Triggers
Track how your parts show up day-to-day and build awareness through simple reflections.

**See the Connections**
Visualize how your parts interact and influence one another with a dynamic system map.

**Understand Your System More Deeply**
Assign Blend and Triggers and recognize when parts take over and what activates them—so you can respond with more awareness.

Guided Practices
Support your journey with short, focused exercises:
-Morning Check-In (center into Self)
-Blend Level Scan (notice active parts)
-Return to Self (gently unblend and reset)

Key Features
-Interactive parts mapping with visual connections
-Daily check-ins to track emotions over time
-Parts journal for deeper reflection
-Custom naming, roles, and color coding
-Simple, calming interface designed for consistency
-Private by design — your data stays with you

Whether you’re practicing Internal Family Systems (IFS) or simply building self-awareness, this app gives you a compassionate space to reflect, connect, and grow.

A gentle note:
This app is designed to support self-reflection and personal growth. It is not a replacement for professional mental health care.

### 1/5 — There’s no instructions

*2026-07-01*

I know IFS and wanted to use this app to create my parts maps. But 1) the linking system doesn’t seem to work. I tap on one part and then on another and all it does is switch the selection back and forth without showing any link. 2) I don’t see any way to export the map or journal entry 3) there are no instructions other than that one liners. And I’m NOT looking for IFS instructions. I’m looking for how to use the app or how to contact the developer. If that was there I wouldn’t have had to write this poor review.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for your feedback!

UPDATE: app update along with some exporting capabilities, as well as a few other enhancements.

PREVIOUS: In the top right corner there’s a “link” option. If you tap that, then proceed with taping a part and another part it will link. Did you try this? 

What sort of export would you like to see? Export to PDF, Excel? There is not a function but I am happy to add it. 

And that’s helpful feedback on the instruction to use the app. We have another update planned that will help show users around  to be able to use the app and have confidence in using it. 

If there’s anything else you can email me at talkornotapp@gmail.com - I am happy to make it better for you which should help others as well! (We’ll add a contact us in settings as well) :)

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2026-06-24*

So far very pleased After switching from other app.

### 5/5 — Free to use !

*2026-06-24*

There are few things free which is great but also some upgrades which I find very useful as I explore IFS.

### 5/5 — Helping stay grounded

*2026-06-24*

It’s got some audio tracks which I love but the map is a good reference for when I do therapy.

### 5/5 — Great app for value

*2026-06-24*

Checked out a few apps and this has some quick reference guides, audio sessions and of course mapping.

### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for!

*2026-03-19*

I am new to IFS and just wanted a tool to map things out and it did just that. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Perfect mix of simplicity and structure

*2026-03-14*

It’s pretty easy to use. The main part is the maple and once a part is mapped you can add notes and journal over time. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Subscription required after buying

*2026-02-13*

I’m so disappointed that I paid for an app just to be blocked from using it unless I pay for a subscription as well. Charge one or the other, but be honest about it up front!

**Developer response:** If you originally purchased full access, we’ll absolutely make sure you’re taken care of.

Please email us at talkornotapp@gmail.com so we can review your purchase and restore your full access right away.

Thank you for your patience and support!
