A difficult emotion isn't a flaw to fix. It's a signal about the direction you're heading. my helpmate gives you a way to read it, and a way to move through it.
Free. No one reads what you write.
No account to create, no cloud AI, no one reading what you write. Your insights are computed on your device: correlations and trends need no server, and there are no ads. Your entries are saved to your personal iCloud, which is on by default and can be turned off in settings: they never pass through a server of mine, because there is no such server.
Seven steps, from contraction to expansion. You name what you feel, place it, and see which direction you're heading. When an emotion weighs on you, a guided inquiry walks you through it: name it, welcome it for three breaths, trace what set it off, let it speak, then thank it. In writing or out loud, and only if you switch this option on.
A flower opens and closes at the pace you choose: inhale, pause and exhale, all set by you. A vibration marks each change of phase, in silence, so your eyes can stay closed. On the train, at the office, next to someone asleep: no one needs to know. A breath sound is there if you want it, off by default.
Write what you want to hear: a gratitude, a soothing word, a sentence that puts things back in their place. You can dictate it too. The app reads it back to you out loud, in the language, voice and pace you choose. Sort them by theme, keep the ones that carry you, archive the rest. The kind words born from an inquiry gather on their own in a collection, “My healings”. And when a reading ends, a discreet card simply asks where it leaves you, right now.
In My sky, set down what truly matters across twelve areas of life, as a photo, a drawing or a few words. Each intention becomes a star. What you live day to day draws the constellations closer or further away, without a single number and without deadlines.
Correlations between your activities and your mood, an emotional forecast, trends over time, your sleep read from the Health app. It's all computed on your device, to spot what lifts you as well as what needs attention. A dip is shown as a dip, never as a failure.
An intention for the day, a gentle review in the evening, breathing when things tighten, a gratitude to listen to, an affirmation on your home screen. The rest builds itself, at your own pace.
my helpmate follows you on iPad too. A full backup you can export whenever you want, in a file readable on any computer. And eleven languages.
Two home screen widgets, an affirmation and a window onto your sky. Siri to log an emotion without opening the app. Face ID to lock it.
No locked features, no ads anywhere. In-app purchases exist to support the project, never to unlock anything: a tip or a supporter subscription, from the settings. Available in eleven languages.
“The app has become my daily companion. I love being able to note my gratitudes and best moments. It has helped me take a step back and better appreciate the little things in life. I highly recommend it!”
No progress bars, no deadlines, no virtual companion asking you for something. Open it whenever you like, and the app meets you where you are.
Not through me: the app creates no account and I have no server. Your entries are saved on your iPhone, and by default they are also saved to your personal iCloud, which you can turn off in settings. No one reads what you write.
No, none at all. The correlations between your moods and your activities, the trend and the word cloud are computed by the app on your device, with simple rules. Nothing is sent to a model, here or anywhere else.
It is on by default, as long as you are signed in to iCloud on the device. Your data travels between your own devices through your iCloud account, under your Apple ID, and passes through no server of mine. You can turn it off in settings (the change takes effect at the next launch): the app then works entirely offline, on this device only.
No, and there is no way to create one. You download, you open, you write.
It is an optional layer that adds a stepped scale to place an emotion, a guided exploration to trace its cause, and the link between your intentions and how you feel. While it is off, the app stays a plain journal. You can switch it on and off whenever you like, without losing anything.
A vision board shown as a starry sky. Each intention is a star, each area of life a constellation, and how far a constellation sits depends on the last time you came back to it. No deadlines, no numeric targets.
By default, your data reappears when you sign in to your iCloud account on the new iPhone. If you turned syncing off, the app exports a full backup to a file you keep wherever you like and import again later.
Yes, entirely, and every feature is included. The App Store listing mentions in-app purchases: those are tips and a supporter subscription, entirely optional, and they unlock no features.
A marker of how many days in a row you've used the app, with milestones at 3, 7, 14, 30 and 100 days. It isn't a leaderboard or a competition, just a personal marker you can ignore completely if it doesn't speak to you.
Eleven: German, English, Korean, Spanish, French, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese and Swedish. The app follows your iPhone's language, with variants for British English and Brazilian Portuguese.
