Have you ever had one of those moments? You know you should work out, but you're glued to the couch scrolling your phone. You want to sleep early, but it's 2 AM and you're still wide awake. You want to say no, but somehow you say "sure" again. And then the voice kicks in: "What's wrong with me?" Here's the truth: You can never become a better person by hating who you are. --- Self-Love Project is not another habit tracker. It's not another motivational quote app. It's an identity shift tool โ when you're stuck, it helps you see the situation through the eyes of your ideal self, and make a different choice. How does it work? Imagine the person you most want to become. She's decisive, disciplined, gentle yet strong. When you don't know what to do โ you just ask one question: "What would she do?" The answer usually appears in that very moment. --- Core Features: Identity Shift Ritual When you're "stuck," tap the button. Write down your struggle. After a guided breathing exercise, you'll revisit the problem as your ideal self โ and make the decision the better you would make. Growth Journal Every identity shift is recorded. Looking back, you'll realize โ you've been growing all along. 21-Day Transformation Challenge Psychology research shows 21 days is enough to build a new habit. Do at least one identity shift per day or record one thing you did as your ideal self. 21 days. Watch yourself transform. Daily Affirmations A warm reminder every day: you deserve to be loved, especially by yourself. Personalized Aura Choose your aura color โ Confidence Red, Serenity Blue, Vitality Green, Warmth Orange, Wisdom Purple, or Creativity Pink. The entire app transforms with your choice. Bilingual Support Full Chinese and English support. Switch anytime. --- This is not a tool that teaches you "how to be better." This is a tool that helps you discover "you can already be great." You don't need to fix yourself. You just need to love yourself. --- Free 3-day trial ยท Just ยฅ6 to unlock the full version The price of a convenience store drink, for a better you. ---
Mood Easy

Mood Easy turns each day into one colored square. Tap the face that matches how you feel, and over the months your year fills in as a grid you can read in a second. FIVE FACES, ONE TAP Great, good, okay, bad or awful, each face in its own color, from bright yellow down to deep indigo. Tap once to check in. Tap a different face to change it. Add a short note when something is worth remembering. THE YEAR AS A GRID Twelve columns for the months, a row for every date. Good stretches and hard weeks stand out by color alone. Tap a square to open that day, change it, or fill in a day you skipped. ASK SIRI Say "Check in with Mood Easy" and tell Siri how you feel, and the app can stay closed. In Shortcuts you can open Year in pixels or Insights, or add a check-in to an automation. WHAT THE NUMBERS SAY How your moods split, your average, your current and longest streak, how weeks and months compare, which weekday tends to go best, and the words you write most. Counts and charts, no verdicts. HOME SCREEN AND WRIST The medium widget checks you in with a tap and lines up the last seven days. A Lock Screen widget keeps today's face in view. The Apple Watch app checks in from your wrist and hands it to your iPhone. APPLE HEALTH, YOUR CALL Switch it on and each day's mood is written into Apple Health as a State of Mind sample (iOS 18 or later). Mood Easy writes and never reads, and notes are never sent there. A NUDGE AT YOUR HOUR Pick a time for a reminder. Once you've checked in that day, it stays quiet. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE Nothing to sign into, no advertising, no usage stats, and the only network call Mood Easy makes is the App Store loading the optional tips. Your history is stored on your iPhone and paired Apple Watch. Export it to a CSV spreadsheet at any moment. COLORS AND ICONS Pick Light, Graphite or Black, plus one of eight accent colors, and the Home Screen icon changes to match. A TIP, IF YOU LIKE Mood Easy is free and has nothing to unlock. If it helps you check in with yourself, you can leave a one-time tip in Settings: a Smile, Sunshine, a Bouquet or a Rainbow. Tips go through the App Store and change nothing in the app. Mood Easy is a self-check tool. It doesn't diagnose or treat anything. If a day feels too heavy, reach out to someone you trust or a professional; in the US, 988 answers around the clock.
