FrogID is Australia’s first national citizen science frog identification initiative – a project led by the Australian Museum in partnership with Australia’s leading natural history museums and IBM. Use the App to create a profile, record frog calls and match your calls to the frog calls on the app. Then upload your records to the Australian Museum frog experts for species verification. With your help we can put more frog species on the map and track changes to their species and habitats over time, and therefore monitor our waterway's health.
Healing Soul

Healing Soul Bring it up. Feel it. Release it. Heal. Most of us are carrying something. Maybe it's stress that doesn't go away no matter how much sleep you get. Old emotions that surface when you least expect them. A feeling of being stuck — like you know something needs to shift, but you're not sure where to start. Healing Soul was built for that space. The in-between. The quiet moments when you're ready to look inward, but you want something to guide you. This app is built around a simple four-step framework: Bring it up. Name what's really going on beneath the surface — across your mind, your body, and your soul. Feel it. Sit with what comes up, without rushing past it or pushing it down. Release it. Move through it using practices that actually work — breathwork, EFT tapping, grounding, gratitude, and more. Heal. Not as a destination, but as a process you return to every day. WHAT'S INSIDE Journal — 250+ Guided Prompts This isn't free journaling. Every prompt is crafted to meet you where you are and take you somewhere deeper. Prompts are organised across three dimensions — Mind, Body, and Soul — and divided into Lighter and Deeper entries, so you can choose how far you want to go on any given day. The journal follows the lunar calendar, giving your journaling a natural rhythm that mirrors your own inner cycles. Whether you're processing something fresh or excavating something old, there's a prompt here for it. Releases — Healing Practices Library When you need to move energy, shift a feeling, or come back to yourself, the Releases library is where you go. This growing collection of guided practices includes breathwork to regulate your nervous system, EFT tapping to clear emotional blocks, grounding exercises to bring you back to the present, manifestation practices to open to what's possible, and gratitude work to anchor you in what's real. Each technique is accessible — you don't need prior experience, a yoga mat, or forty-five minutes. You just need a moment and the willingness to try. Mood Check-In — 30-Day History Understanding your emotional patterns is part of the healing process. The Mood Check-In lets you track how you're feeling across mind, body, and soul — not just today, but over time. Your 30-day mood history gives you a visual record of your emotional landscape, helping you notice what's shifting, what's recurring, and where you might need more support. It's a gentle but powerful tool for building self-awareness without judgment. WHO THIS IS FOR Healing Soul was created for people who are already doing the inner work — or ready to start. If you've been in therapy and want something for the days between sessions. If you're drawn to energy healing, chakra work, or somatic practices. If you've tried meditation apps and found them too passive. If you're somewhere in that 30–60 life chapter and you know it's time to stop managing and start healing. This app was built from a real healing journey. Not as a wellness trend, but because these tools — the prompts, the practices, the check-ins — genuinely helped. That's why they're here. WHY HEALING SOUL Most wellness apps ask you to calm down. Healing Soul asks you to go deeper. The difference matters. Calming down is temporary. Healing is what happens when you're willing to bring something up, feel it fully, and release it for real. That's the work this app is built for. It's your pocket companion for the inner journey — available at 2am when something surfaces, during a quiet lunch break, or as part of a morning ritual you're building one day at a time. Your healing is happening. This is the space to hold it. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
