Some days you can name exactly what you feel. Most days you can't. Open Feelings is a quiet, private space to slow down, look inward, and find the right word โ€” one gentle check-in at a time. At the center is a feelings wheel adapted from the Open Emotion Wheel: start with a broad feeling, then move inward toward something more precise โ€” or stop wherever feels true. Prefer a softer path? A guided three-step check-in walks you there without the full wheel. Selected feelings come with clear, plain-language definitions so naming an emotion also helps you understand it. A LITTLE EACH DAY - Pick a feeling from the wheel, or follow the gentle 3-step wizard - Add only what you want: intensity, a body map, sensations, triggers, coping ideas, a mood scale, or a short note - Edit any past check-in whenever you want - Set one daily intention and look back on it later - Keep a quiet streak going โ€” no pressure, no badges to chase SEE YOUR PATTERNS - Insights by week, month, and year: trends, streaks, top feelings, by-day rhythms - Notice where feelings land in your body and which coping ideas pair with which triggers GO DEEPER WHEN YOU WANT TO - Sort what matters to you with a swipe-based values exercise, then commit to small actions - Work through a thought with a CBT-style thought record โ€” name the thinking pattern, then find a more balanced view - Create a tidy summary PDF to bring to a therapy session, or export everything as CSV, JSON, Markdown, or text - Hand a single check-in to Apple Journal, Day One, or Notes YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS - No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No trackers. No third-party SDKs. - Your check-ins live on your device and sync only through your own private iCloud โ€” there's no server we control, and we never see your data - iCloud sync follows your Apple ID settings and keeps your own devices in step - Optional Apple Watch check-ins, a daily reminder, and write-only Apple Health "State of Mind" - Free, with an optional tip jar that simply says thanks โ€” it unlocks nothing Open Feelings is open source (MIT licensed). Open Feelings is an educational and reflective tool, not a substitute for professional care, diagnosis, or treatment. If you are in crisis, please contact local emergency services or a crisis line.
