Mindful Eating vs 2 Self

A calmer way to be with food. How It Felt is a mindful eating diary that asks how a meal made you feel — not how many calories it had. No tracking. No scores. No judgement. Just a private space to pause, notice, and reflect. If diet apps and calorie counters have left you anxious about food, this is something different. How It Felt is built for mindful and intuitive eating — a quiet companion for those navigating emotional eating, binge cycles, hunger cues, or recovery from a disordered relationship with food: a gentle food diary, an in-the-moment eating timer, and quiet weekly reflections. — LOG MEALS THE WAY THEY ACTUALLY FEEL — A few seconds per meal is enough. - Log a meal, snack, drink, or dessert with as little or as much detail as you like. - Note your hunger before and fullness after on a gentle scale — no numbers to hit, no goals to chase. - Choose from 28 emotions and 5 senses to capture how the moment felt. - Add an optional photo or short reflection. Skip anything you don't need. — A MINDFUL EATING TIMER — A 20-minute companion to slow down with. - Optional gentle prompts every 3, 5, or 10 minutes — texture cues, breath reminders, fork-down moments, body check-ins. - Soundscapes: silence, soft rain, nature, or white noise. - Vibration toggle and an intention you can set before you start. - A short reflection at the end — only if you want it. — REFLECTION, NOT METRICS — Awareness without ranking. - Calendar view to revisit any day. - Today, this week, and this month overviews. - Patterns in emotional eating, meal types, and hunger — framed as awareness, not performance. - Photos and timer stats grouped by period. - Gentle prompts that surface alongside the data, never over it. — PRIVATE BY DESIGN — Your reflections never leave your device. - All entries stored locally, on your phone only. - No cloud sync. No account required to start. - Optional app lock with Face ID or Touch ID. - Export your last 7 days as CSV or PDF anytime, free. - Delete a single entry, or wipe everything, with one tap. — BACKED BY RESEARCH — Every prompt and timing choice is grounded in peer-reviewed mindful-eating studies, including: - Kokkinos et al., 2010 — pace and satiety signals. - Kristeller and Wolever, 2011 — emotional check-ins and mealtime stress. - Robinson et al., 2014 — distraction-free eating and meal satisfaction. Sources are shown in onboarding so you can read them yourself. — FREE TO USE — The diary is free, including unlimited meal logging, the full mindful timer with all soundscapes, calendar and insights, reminders, app lock, and a 7-day CSV or PDF export. — OPTIONAL PREMIUM — A subscription keeps the space calm and ad-free, tunes affirmations to how each meal felt, and extends export beyond 7 days — your whole history, kept. Weekly, monthly, and yearly plans available, with a free trial. Cancel anytime. — A NOTE ON TONE — Neutral language throughout. No streaks to keep. No scores to chase. No "good" or "bad" foods. No before-and-after framing. Skip any field. Take a day off. The app waits for you. Privacy Policy and Terms of Use are available in-app and on our website.

I use this app to send motivational quotes to myself (not just reminders about what others want me to do for them). I send the things that lift me up. Yesterday, I was at the grocery store, and I received, "My world is open :)" Needless to say, it was a nice surprise. 2 Self helps you write your own affirmations, motivational quotes, mantras, and private reminders — then receive them later as scheduled or random notifications. 2 Self is built for the words you choose yourself. WRITE YOUR OWN WORDS Save affirmations, motivational quotes, positive thoughts, self-talk, mindset notes, encouragement, mantras, or reminders to yourself. Your words can be direct, gentle, serious, practical, spiritual, funny, or private. The point is not to find the perfect quote from someone else. The point is to keep the words that actually mean something to you. SET DAILY REMINDERS Choose exact times for daily reminders, weekday reminders, weekend reminders, or reminders on particular days and hours. USE RANDOMIZER Let one of your saved lines return unexpectedly using Gentle, Steady, Frequent, Cowabunga, or your own custom rhythm. USE IT FOR Daily affirmations Motivational quotes Positive reminders Self-love notes Self-esteem notes Confidence reminders Mindset notes Private mantras Personal encouragement Words you want to remember later NO ACCOUNT. NO DATA COLLECTED. Your words stay simple, private, and yours. WHY IT EXISTS The motivational industry runs on borrowed voices. Daily Affirmations Reminder is built on a different premise: the words best suited to reach you may already be yours. Write it once. Trust it later.
