Bipolar Bear vs POLARITY

Bipolar Bear is a free, private mood journal and mood tracker built for people living with bipolar disorder. Log your moods, energy and sleep day by day, spot the patterns that matter, and keep a survival kit for the hard days. TRACK WHAT MATTERS Log your mood, energy, sleep, anxiety and custom fields every day. It takes less than a minute, and gentle reminders and streaks help you keep the habit without the pressure. Focus mode takes you through each entry one question at a time. UNDERSTAND YOUR PATTERNS See your mood over time with charts and personalised insights. Spot what's affecting your next-day mood — sleep, alcohol, exercise and more — worked out privately on your device. SYNC WITH APPLE HEALTH Bring your sleep and steps in from Apple Health, so your journal fills itself in. BUILD YOUR SURVIVAL KIT Keep the strategies, medications, goals, memories and crisis resources that help you through hard times, all in one place. Add the Safety plan widget to your lock screen to keep your support number close. SHARE WITH YOUR CARE TEAM Export a clean PDF summary for your doctor or psychiatrist. ANONYMOUS COMMUNITY Connect with others who get it. Share your thoughts without sharing your identity on the optional anonymous community board, for adults aged 18 and over. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Journal entries are encrypted on your device before they leave it. As standard we keep a spare key, so your journal opens on a new phone; turn on Private journal and only you can read them: not even we can. Insights stay on your device. No ads, and we never sell your data. Bipolar Bear is for people living with bipolar disorder, their families, and anyone who wants to understand their mental health better. Bipolar Bear is not a medical device and does not give medical advice. It's a tool to help you notice, reflect and stay connected, alongside the care of your health professionals. Built by James Markey MBE and hosted by UNI·SIM.

POLARITY is a daily tracker for people living with bipolar I or II. Record mood, sleep, energy and medication to see changes over time and bring your recorded history into conversations with a clinician. ONE DAILY CHECK-IN Take a few minutes to record your day: mood, depressive thoughts, energy, motivation, anxiety, irritability, sleep, food and water. Add medication, everyday factors and notes to keep the context. Missing a day does not erase your history. Continue when you feel ready. NOTICE WHAT REPEATS Look back at changes in mood, sleep and other measures. Your entries help you recall what accompanied the highs and lows: poor sleep, stress, social activity or changes in your routine. Changes happening together do not establish a cause. REFLECTIONS BASED ON YOUR ENTRIES POLARITY brings observations from your entries into a short reflection: what changed in mood, sleep and energy, and what kept recurring. Daily reflections are available after three days with check-ins. Reflections for a selected period help you look at several weeks together. REPORTS FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT Before a visit, bring your mood, sleep and medication history together in a PDF. Discuss important changes with your clinician without relying only on memory. Choose 7, 14, 30, 60 or 90 days, or a custom period of up to one year. You decide who to share it with. APPLE HEALTH With your permission, POLARITY shows sleep, activity and other data from Apple Health. Access is read-only, and the app also works without it. MEDICATION AND REMINDERS Log your prescribed medication and check what you have recorded for the day. Turn on medication and check-in reminders if you need them. PRIVATE STORAGE Entries are stored on your device. You can sync the data you enter with your private iCloud database; the developer cannot access it. Apple Health data, reflection text and PDF files do not sync to iCloud. Reflections are created on your device without sending your entries to external AI services. You can lock the app with Face ID and export a backup. MOONDUST AND POLARITY PREMIUM Earn Moondust through check-ins and medication logs, then use it to create reflections and reports. Moondust cannot be bought with money. Premium unlocks all analysis periods, reflections for a selected period and full reports. Creating reflections and reports still requires Moondust. Premium offers a monthly or yearly subscription. The price is shown in your local currency before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store settings. POLARITY is a self-tracking tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment and does not replace professional medical care.
