Kindling vs Swa

Your mood doesn't change randomly. It follows patterns — patterns shaped by the people around you, the connections you make, and the ones you miss. Kindling is a mood tracker that goes deeper. Track your mood and social energy every day, see how your connections shape how you feel, and get a gentle nudge when you start to drift from the people who matter. WHY YOUR MOOD CHANGES Most mood trackers show you WHAT — "you felt sad on Tuesday." Kindling shows you WHY. By tracking your mood alongside your social connections, Kindling reveals patterns like: "Your mood averages 1.5 higher on days you connect with someone." "After 3 quiet days, your mood drops an average of 0.9 points." "You feel best on weeks where you follow through on your social plans." These aren't guesses. They're your own data, showing you the link between connection and how you feel. THE WEEKLY PLAN Every week, spend 5 minutes setting simple social intentions — "call Mum", "coffee with James", "go to the Saturday market." They appear on your home screen all week as gentle, visible accountability. Not a to-do list. A compass. THE DAILY CHECK-IN Each day, a quick check-in captures your mood, your social energy, and what actually happened. Meaningful conversations? Time spent with someone? A quiet day? It takes about 90 seconds. Over time, these tiny entries build a picture you can't see any other way. SOCIAL ENERGY — A DIMENSION NOBODY ELSE TRACKS Not all social contact is equal. You can be around people all day and still feel empty. Or one good phone call can fill your cup. Kindling tracks your social energy — how nourished you actually feel — separately from your mood. When those two lines diverge on your chart, that's where the insight lives. GENTLE NUDGES, NOT GUILT TRIPS If you've gone quiet for a few days, Kindling notices. It might say: "It's been a couple of weeks since you caught up with Sarah. Worth a message?" Never pushy, never guilt-based. Just a warm nudge when you might be starting to drift.

Swa finds the emotional patterns you can't see yourself. Most people know they feel anxious at work or flat on Sundays, but they don't know why, or what's driving it. Swa does. Check in when something feels off. Takes less than a minute. Swa connects your emotion to your sleep, your context, and your history, and over time, surfaces the pattern underneath. HOW IT WORKS → Check in with how you're feeling → Swa tracks emotion, context, sleep quality, and timing → After 4 check-ins, your first pattern unlocks → Each check-in makes the pattern sharper WHAT SWA FINDS • Which emotion shows up most — and when • Whether poor sleep is driving difficult days • What context (work, relationships, alone time) triggers your emotional state • What breaks the pattern on good days NOT ANOTHER MOOD JOURNAL Journals ask you to reflect. Swa does the analysis. You check in, Swa finds the signal. No prompts, no guided breathing, no streaks for their own sake — just the pattern your emotional life is already running. PRIVACY FIRST No account required to start. Your check-ins stay yours. Swa learns from your data to help you, not to sell you anything. Start checking in. Your pattern is already forming
