Mood Tracker by Foxtale vs Between Sessions

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.

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. Emotion labeling support, sensory and social battery tracking, and an experience that adapts to how you actually work. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no servers, no data collection. Your reflections belong to you. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
