Emotional Wellbeing Through Compassion Science
Transform your relationship with difficult emotions using our science-based approach grounded in principles from Compassion Focused Therapy. My Three Circles helps you understand and work with your three core emotion systems – threat, drive, and soothing – that play a major role in everyday life.

Understand Your Emotional Systems

•	Green Circle (Soothing): Build and strengthen your soothing system to stay grounded

Key Features:

•	Interactive wellbeing check-ins that take less than a minute using our unique three-circle model

•	Audio library of compassion-focused guided meditations designed to strengthen your soothing system
•	Educational content explaining the science behind your emotions
•	Simple, bite-sized activities that fit into your daily routine

Build Your Soothing System 
Life's challenges become more manageable when you develop a strong soothing system. Our app guides you through well-researched practices designed to build awareness, achieve better emotional balance, and develop resilience through compassion.

Who This App Is For:

•	Anyone wanting to learn to better manage difficult emotions or stress
•	People interested in mindfulness and emotional wellbeing
•	Those seeking simple, science-based practices for maintaining good mental health

Please note: This app is not intended as a substitute for professional mental health treatment. If you're experiencing severe emotional distress, please consult with a qualified healthcare provider.

Clinical Support & Self-Guided Use
My Three Circles is designed to complement work with a clinical professional, particularly psychologists experienced in Compassion Focused Therapy. However, the app can be used independently by anyone seeking to develop greater emotional awareness and build their soothing system through evidence-based techniques.

Free and Premium
My Three Circles is free to use. Unlimited check-ins, progress tracking over the past week, all educational content and five introductory meditations are included at no cost.

Everything else, including the complete meditation library and progress views stretching back months, a year, or across your full history, is unlocked with a single one-time purchase. There is no subscription.

Discover how understanding your three emotion systems can transform your daily life. Build resilience through guided meditations, track your progress with beautiful visualisations, and learn practical techniques grounded in decades of psychological research.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-25

Version 1.2.0 is all about listening.

What's new:
• Lock screen controls: play, pause, skip and see which track is playing from your lock screen, Control Centre, or your headphones. Start a meditation, put your phone down, and you won't need to unlock it again.
• Track artwork now appears alongside the controls wherever you're playing.
• A much smaller download: meditations now stream on demand rather than shipping inside the app, so My Three Circles takes up a fraction of the space it did before — and we can add new tracks without you needing to update.

Please note: because meditations now stream, you'll need an internet connection to play them.

We also fixed some bugs, including:
• A crash that could occur when leaving a meditation while it was still loading
• Smoother, steadier animation on the player screen
• Clearer messages when sign-in doesn't work

Thank you to everyone who has sent us feedback. It helps us know what needs improving and which features to focus on next. If you come across something that isn't working, you can find us at my-three-circles.kit.com/support.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-05-15

Version 1.1.0 is our first update since launch — thanks for your support!

  What's new:
  • Sign in: Now you can create an account with Apple, Google, or email so your
    data syncs across your devices. Anonymous mode is still
    available if you prefer.
  • Account deletion: You can now permanently delete your account and
    all your data, in line with Apple's privacy guidelines. Just go to 
    Account → Delete Account.
  • Onboarding: We've added some introductory screens to orient new
     users and provide some context. We'll continue to improve on this over time.
  • Misc: Some other performance improvements and fixes, and building
    the foundations for upcoming features.

  Got feedback? We'd love to hear from you! Send us an email at hello@threecircles.app.
