Foxtale vs Between Sessions

Foxtale is a private mental health journal and mood tracker with a self-care pet: a fox companion who grows as you do. Name what you feel, spot the patterns in your mental health, and turn checking in on yourself into a journaling habit you look forward to. "I’ve never been able to journal, but this little fox helps me process my thoughts and emotions." - App Store Review, 2026 A mental health journal you will actually keep up. Most mental health journal and mood tracker apps get abandoned within a week. Foxtale is built to be picked up: short guided journal prompts, a cozy world that changes with each entry, and a self-care pet who is glad to see you. People tell us the journaling feels less like a task and more like a hobby, and that a few minutes each morning or evening has quietly become part of their self-care routine. Understand your emotions, not just log your mood. Each journal entry starts by naming the emotion, not just "good" or "bad" but the specific feeling underneath. That one step is what helps you process an emotion and move through it rather than sit in it, which is why Foxtale works as mental health support and not only as a mood tracker. Over time your mood tracker shows what lifts you, what drains you, and how your emotions shift across the week, so the mental health insights are about your life, not a generic score. 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 game stays in service of your self-care rather than the other way round. If you have tried a self-care pet app before and wanted more substance underneath the cute, Foxtale was made for you. Mental health support for the hard stretches. Foxtale is often downloaded in the middle of something difficult: an anxiety flare-up, grief, a breakup, burnout, a diagnosis you are still getting your head around. The prompts are written for those moments, and the mood tracker gives you a calm, private place to put what you are carrying and to see your mental health steady over time. A journal built for minds that work differently. Foxtale is used by people living with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, BPD, PTSD and OCD, and by ADHD, autistic and AuDHD people who find open-ended journaling hard to start. Guided prompts, emotion labels and a feelings wheel give structure when a blank page does not, and gentle reminders help the habit stick without nagging. It also helps if you struggle to identify your emotions (alexithymia), or experience mood swings and shutdowns that a standard mood tracker misses.

The space between therapy appointments is where the real work happens. Between Sessions is a private companion built by a licensed clinical mental health counselor to help people make the most of that time — track how you're really feeling, prepare for your next appointment, and hold onto the insights your therapist helps you discover. CHECK IN WITH YOURSELF A guided check-in that takes 90 seconds. Map your emotions, note body sensations, track your energy levels, and capture what's going on in your life. The app learns from what you share and tailors itself to how you experience the world. QUICK NOTES Jot things down as they happen throughout the week. When it's time for session prep, your notes are waiting — tap to pull them straight into your prep. PREPARE FOR YOUR NEXT SESSION Stop losing insights between sessions. Note what's still on your mind from last time, what's important for your therapist to know, and what you actually need from today's appointment. Walk in prepared instead of scrambling to remember. REFLECT AFTER YOUR SESSION Capture what stood out while it's still fresh. Log your homework, note what you didn't get to, and check in with how your body feels after the session. TRACK YOUR HOMEWORK Add homework items and get daily reminders until you complete them. Mark items done when you finish — no more forgetting what you committed to. UNDERSTAND YOUR PATTERNS See what's been hard, what's been good, and what to bring to your next session. BUILT FOR NEURODIVERGENT MINDS Designed with ADHD and autistic users in mind.
