Foxtale is a mood tracker and private mental health journal with a self-care pet: a fox companion who grows as you do. Name what you feel, spot the patterns in your moods, and turn checking in on yourself into a journaling habit you look forward to. No sign-up. No AI features. "I love the mood tracking, it challenges you to put a name to your emotions which really helps me process what I'm feeling." - App Store Review, 2026 Featured as App Store App of the Day and rated 4.9 from 2,700+ ratings. A journal you will actually keep up. Most mood tracker and journal apps get abandoned within a week. Foxtale is built to be picked up: check in with a mood in seconds or stay for a guided prompt, a cozy world that changes with each entry, and a self-care pet who is glad to see you. People tell us it feels less like a task and more like a hobby. "I've tried many different mood journals and they all had different benefits but this one marries everything I loved about all of them." - App Store Review, 2026 Understand your emotions, not just log your mood. Each entry starts by naming what you feel, not just "good" or "bad" but the specific emotion underneath. Pick as many as you like, or add your own. That one step helps you process an emotion rather than sit in it, which is why Foxtale goes deeper than a standard mood tracker. Over time, Impacts shows how sleep, friends, family and hobbies affect your mood, so the insights are about your life, not a generic score. "I was surprised at just how much it positively impacted my mood and ability to get in touch with my feelings." - App Store Review, 2026 A self-care pet, not a chore. As you journal, your fox gathers your emotions as glowing orbs to restore a forgotten world. You can dress your fox and decorate their home, but the world-building always serves your self-care. If you have tried a self-care pet app and wanted more substance underneath the cute, Foxtale was made for you. Support for the hard stretches. Foxtale is often downloaded in the middle of something difficult: anxiety, grief, a breakup, burnout or a new diagnosis. The prompts are written for those moments, and the emotional toolkit suggests exercises matched to how you feel, with links to support hotlines if you need more help. Built for big feelings and minds that work differently. Foxtale is especially valued by people who experience emotional dysregulation and intense mood swings, including those with ADHD, BPD, PTSD and CPTSD. Tracking specific emotions, not just a mood score, helps you spot the triggers and patterns a standard mood tracker misses. It is also used by people living with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and OCD, and by autistic and AuDHD people who find open-ended journaling hard to start. Guided prompts and a feelings wheel give structure when a blank page does not, and help if you struggle to name your emotions (alexithymia). What's inside: - Quick mood and emotion check-ins, as many as you like each day - Impacts: see what affects your mood, from sleep to social time - Guided prompts, emotion labels and a feelings wheel - Emotional toolkit with exercises for every emotion - Books of Wisdom: short lessons grounded in real psychology - A self-care pet fox and a story driven by your entries - Gentle reminders to help the habit stick - Optional backup to your own storage, like Google Drive - 100% private: no sign-up, no AI, data stays on your device Start your story today. Your fox is waiting.

Tarot that remembers. Bring whatever's on your mind: a decision you can't make, a feeling you can't name, a relationship you're trying to understand. Rora is a place where you feel safe enough to open up, ask questions, and make sense of what you're going through, with no judgment. Not to predict your future, but to hold up a mirror at the right moment. Built for self awareness, intention setting, and the quiet work of figuring things out. What's inside: • Daily Card. One card a day, with a personal line about how it lands. A quiet queue underneath surfaces what's next across Reading, Practice, Threads, Insights, and a Reflect moment to anchor your card's intention. • Personalized Readings. Ask what's actually on your mind, or choose from a suggested question. Rora builds a reading around your specific situation, with the answer, the energy at play, the story your cards are telling, and what to carry forward. Tap any card to Dive Deeper. Pull a clarifying card if something feels unfinished. Every reading saves privately to your profile. • Actions. At the end of every reading, three small invitations to move forward. Something to express, experiment with, or reflect on. Pick one and carry it with you, so the reading doesn't end on the page. • Threads. The themes that keep coming back across your readings, gathered into named threads you can revisit. Letting Go. Readiness and Timing. Trusting Myself. The quiet work surfaces on its own. • Insights. After enough readings, Rora starts reflecting your patterns back to you. Your current era, the loop you're moving through, the cards that keep returning, the energy that drives you, the actions you actually take, and one earned question to close the chapter. Not data points. A mirror, built over time. If you close the app feeling clearer about what you feel, what you want, or what you should do, we've succeeded. Rora Plus Rora Plus unlocks 3-card readings, 10 a week, deck scanning, and full Insights. Monthly or annual subscription; the monthly plan has a 7-day free trial. Or buy 5 readings once, no subscription. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.
