Discover MiniLab, a gentle self-reflection app that helps you understand your life through small everyday experiments. MiniLab is designed for people who want to explore their mood, habits, energy, routines, relationships, or personal growth without the pressure of streaks or complicated tracking.

Whether you are building a new habit, reflecting on your career direction, going through a life transition, or simply trying to understand yourself better, MiniLab gives you a calm place to explore what works for you. What makes MiniLab special: โข Small Life Experiments: Start with one small action or question you want to try in real life, from a 10-minute walk to a quick emotional check-in. โข Gentle Suggested Prompts: Not sure where to begin? Choose from soft starting ideas designed to help you explore your mood, habits, energy, focus, relationships, creativity, and self-understanding. โข Mood, Notes & Photos: Log how each day felt with a quick mood check, a short note, or an optional photo. A few seconds is enough. โข Lightweight Calendar Tracking: Keep a gentle visual trace of your days without streak pressure, scores, or guilt. โข Personal Reflection: Look back at completed experiments and notice what changed, what felt supportive, and what you may want to try differently next time. โข Pattern Insights: See small patterns across your experiments over time, so you can better understand what supports your mood, energy, habits, and direction. โข Low-Pressure Growth: MiniLab is built for people who want to grow without turning self-improvement into another task. โข Private by Design: No account is required. Your experiment titles, notes, moods, photos, and preferences stay on your device. MiniLab is not about doing more. It is about noticing more. Start with one small experiment today, and grow in your own way.
TruthMirror

Most apps are built to make you feel good. This one isn't. TruthMirror is an AI that asks the questions you've been avoiding โ and refuses to give you the easy answer. No advice. No reassurance. No "you've got this." Just the one question you keep dodging, handed back to you until you actually look at it. You say you'll start Monday. It remembers you said that last week. You blame a busy month. It asks what was busy about the three hours you spent scrolling. It doesn't argue with you. It shows you the pattern you already know is there. HOW IT WORKS Talk to it like you'd talk to the one friend who doesn't let you get away with anything. It listens, finds the contradiction, and asks one sharp question back. It never tells you what to do โ because you don't have a knowledge problem, you have an honesty problem. IT KEEPS RECEIPTS Every conversation feeds a private picture of your patterns: avoidance, rationalization, the same excuse in a new outfit. Over time, the app shows you your own Evolution and an Honesty Score โ not to grade you, but so you can't pretend you didn't notice. PICK HOW HARD IT HITS - Gentle โ calm and observational. Still honest. - Direct โ no softening. Names what you're doing. - Unfiltered (Mirror) โ short, blunt, zero comfort. You asked for the truth. 18 contexts โ procrastination, relationships, money, discipline and more โ each with its own way of seeing through you. BUILT TO STAY PRIVATE Your conversations live on your device, not on our servers. We can't read them. This isn't a marketing line โ it's the architecture. What you confront here stays yours. Available in English, Romanian, Spanish and Japanese โ with cultural adaptation, not just translation. Free to start. Go deeper when you're ready. โ TruthMirror is a self-reflection tool, not therapy, counseling or medical advice, and is not a substitute for professional help. For ages 18+. SUBSCRIPTIONS TruthMirror offers auto-renewable subscriptions: - Reflection: โฌ4.99/month or โฌ49/year - Mirror: โฌ9.99/month or โฌ99/year Mirror monthly includes a 3-day free trial.
