Leyar is an honest gateway to self-discovery. Notice feelings, body sensations, and track your emotions to build awareness of how you feel — all with complete privacy.
This is a tool to help you discover. Writing in your journal by is therapeutic because it slows down the thought process to contemplate, and not just “think” about your feelings but actually *feel* your feelings. If you really start to notice all the micro sensations in your body and can put specific words to it rather than the basic 6, then you don’t need the app any more.
The purpose isn’t to keep people hooked on using the app.
There are only two ways to get to that deeper level. It’s the journey, not a goal. No app or technology is going to get one there. Using this tool is a start.
FEELING - SENSATION - EMOTION TRACKING
Choose from basic feelings to deeply felt emotions and body sensations — then refine with intensity levels and specific emotion
words drawn from the Willcox Feeling Wheel, the body keeps the score, and buddhist philosophy. Log up to three check-ins per day and watch your emotional vocabulary grow over time.
VOICE JOURNALING
Record voice notes to capture emotional context in the moment. Speech-to-text transcription happens entirely on your device — no audio is
ever sent to a server. Audio files auto-delete after 7 days; transcriptions are kept for your journal.
CALENDAR & HISTORY
See your emotional landscape at a glance with a color-coded monthly calendar. Tap any day to revisit what you felt, and track your logging
streak to build a consistent awareness habit.
PATTERN ANALYSIS
Discover which emotions come up most, how your feelings shift by time of day and day of week, and how your patterns evolve over weeks and
months.
PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Your emotion entries, voice notes, and transcriptions are stored only on your device using Apple's Core Data. We collect minimal anonymous
analytics (never linked to your identity) to improve the app — nothing more. No third-party ad or tracking SDKs.
BUILT BY A NON-PROFIT
Leyar is an offering of Mind Lumen, a 501(c)(3) non-profit. There is no paywall, no subscription, and no ads. The app is free because we believe
emotional awareness should be accessible to everyone.
