## What is Nuance?

Nuance gives you language for what you feel — not just a face or a number.

Instead of picking from 5 emoji, you navigate a 3-level Emotion Wheel: 42 precisely named emotions, each described so you can tell anxious from overwhelmed, content from serene.

Every check-in adds one pixel to your Year in Pixels: a calendar grid colored by your dominant mood. Log multiple entries in a day and the cell splits to show them all. Months of emotional patterns, visible at a glance — no subscription required to scroll back.

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
- Full history visible and searchable, free forever
- One-tap export to JSON or CSV in Settings
- No account required to start — your entries live on your device
- iCloud backup is opt-in, never mandatory

KEY FEATURES

Emotion Wheel — 42 Named Emotions
Joy, Love, Peace, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Disgust — each branches into 3 secondary emotions and 2 tertiary leaves. Every leaf includes a one-line body-felt description to help you identify what you actually feel. A first in this category.

Year in Pixels
A calendar grid where each day fills with the color of your dominant mood. Multiple entries per day split the cell. See your emotional patterns across months without a paywall.

Mood Diary with Context + Full-Text Search
Add context chips and notes to each entry. Search across your entire history by emotion, tag, date, or keyword — free, always.

No Ads, Ever
Not a premium promise. Free and paid tiers both: zero banners, zero interstitials, zero ads after saving.

Face ID / Touch ID Lock
Biometric lock ships free. Your journal stays private, even on a shared device.

WHAT MAKES NUANCE DIFFERENT
Most mood trackers offer a scale or a handful of faces. Nuance offers vocabulary. It teaches you the difference between disappointed and disheartened, then shows you which of the 42 emotions you reach for most — and which ones you have never named yet.

PERFECT FOR
- Anyone who has felt limited by 5 basic emoji
- People building emotional literacy or practicing mindfulness
- Journalers who want both quick logs and long notes
- Anyone who values privacy and will not accept ads in a mental health app

Download Nuance and start naming how you actually feel.
