InnerPulse is a mood-tracking app for iOS. You log your mood each day, mark the factors that influenced it and watch patterns emerge over time. The app works fully offline. All data stays on your device.
The four areas of the app
InnerPulse has four tabs. Each tab has one clear job.
- Journal – where you log your daily mood.
- Check-In – where you take clinically established questionnaires like PHQ-9 or GAD-7.
- Insights – where the app shows you trends, top factors and statistics.
- Settings – where you manage reminders, factors, theme and data export.
Onboarding
The first launch runs you through a seven-step walkthrough of the core features. You can skip it at any time. It only appears once.
Your first entry
Open the Journal tab and tap the plus icon. Drag the colour slider to your current mood. Pick one to three factors. Add a short note if you want. Tap Save. Done.
Your first check-in
Switch to the Check-In tab. Pick a questionnaire from the list. Answer the questions one page at a time. At the end you'll see your score with a clear interpretation. You can repeat any test as often as you like.
The onboarding checklist
The insights page shows a small checklist at the start: create your first entry, track on ten different days and complete your first check-in. It disappears once you've finished all three.
Worth knowing
- You don't have to track every day. The app has no streaks and doesn't penalise pauses.
- There is no account and no cloud sync.
- Everything you enter stays on your iPhone.
