About

Inside Out

Read full description

During psychotherapy, I discovered I have issues with emotion recognition. This discovery led to this simple yet really helpful app for me. It allows you to easily track your emotions and see how your mood swings, how you feel throughout the day, and when things are clearly going off the rails. Features! - Nice and glossy interface with beautifully orange buttons (I love it) - Cute glass emojis - Log of records (you can delete your emotions! but not irl; this feature is currently in development) - Statistics (I'm still working on it) - Cloud synchronization, so you won't lose track of grief records - Random reminders, set amount and range of notifications you want to receive from the app (so you can choose how many times during the day you want to be mad also because of the app) Feature requests are welcome!
