Too much on your mind? Just talk. Notice turns scattered thoughts into calm and shows you how your life is really going. Journaling is one of the best things you can do for your mind. It's also the easiest to quit. The blank page is too much, and the habit never sticks. Notice fixes that. You speak (or type) one small prompt at a time, and it handles the rest. The goal: journaling with as little friction as possible and the biggest return on that small effort. Notice isn't only a tool to track your mind and learn from it. It's built to strengthen it, with simple daily practices that add up. YOUR MORNING RITUAL Start grounded: gratitude, a stream-of-consciousness brain dump, a 45-second "set the tone," and affirmations. Turn on what you want, skip what you don't. SEE HOW YOU'RE REALLY DOING Track mood, energy, productivity, and habits with a tap. Notice turns them into clear trends, so you can spot what lifts you up and what wears you down. IT TALKS BACK OVER TIME Save realizations as Notes to Future You, revisit past entries that resurface when you need them, and unlock weekly reports that reflect your week back to you. BUILT FOR YOUR EYES ONLY Your entries stay on your device, sync privately through iCloud, and can be locked behind Face ID. Export to PDF anytime. No accounts, no data mining. A NOTE FROM ME I'm building Notice because I wanted a journaling app I'd actually use: fast, warm, and genuinely good for my mind. I use it every single day, and I'm pouring everything into making it one of the best journaling apps out there. If you have an idea or some feedback, I'd truly love to hear it. -Reece

Feeling something? Moo'd helps you notice it, name it, and actually do something about it — one quick check-in at a time. Moo'd is a mood-tracking and wellness app built for student life: packed schedules, late nights, exam stress, and everything in between. Instead of a blank mood log that's easy to forget about, Moo'd turns checking in on yourself into something you'll actually want to open. Check in, in under a minute: A few taps tells Moo'd how you're really feeling — up to three times a day. Over time, your check-ins build into a clear picture of your patterns, so you can spot what's actually affecting your mood instead of guessing. Write it down, your way: When a quick check-in isn't enough, open your journal. Write as much or as little as you want, and now format it exactly how you'd write it on paper — bold, italic, underline, and full text color, all built right in. Focus when you need to: Starting something and can't get moving? Run a focus timer for 10, 15, 25 minutes, or set your own length, with your own customized companion cow riding along on the timer. Finish a full session and earn points toward your goals. Make it yours Every check-in, journal entry, completed activity, and focus session earns you points. Spend them customizing your very own cow — new colors, outfits, and accessories, mixed and matched however you like. Find real support, personalized to you Browse activities and resources tailored to how you've actually been feeling lately, not a generic list. Complete one and earn points for it too. Built with campus life in mind: Moo'd was designed by a UC Davis student, with a UC Davis-flavored personality (yes, there's a cow) — but it's built for any student, anywhere, dealing with the same stress, deadlines, and need for a mental health check-in that doesn't feel like homework. Your data stays yours. Set a goal, watch your progress, and let Moo'd meet you wherever you're at today.
