Within shows you what's already there: your emotional landscape, your shifts over time, the threads running through your reflections. A short tour of what the app does, grouped by how you use it.

How you reflect.

Full Entries

Write freely, or speak it. Voice-to-text is built in via Apple Speech. Full entries are where depth happens.

Pulse

A thirty-second check-in. Tap your emotions, mark your energy, move on. Pulses build a continuous emotional signal on the days you can't write.

Intentions

Set an intention for the day, the week, or a stretch ahead. Intentions sit alongside your entries: a first-class reflection mode, not an afterthought.

Reminders

Quiet nudges on your schedule. Within works around your life, not the other way around.

What Within shows you back.

Emotional Blend

A real-time mirror of how you're actually feeling. Not a single label — the full mixture, updated with every entry.

Emotions

Within uses a 27-emotion taxonomy grounded in affective science. Top three emotions and undercurrents are surfaced, not flattened to a single mood.

Empowerment

Your sense of personal agency, tracked over time. Moving toward things, or pulling back?

Style

Reflection style (reporting, exploring, or integrating) and how your writing deepens.

Patterns & Themes

Recurring threads connected across weeks and months that a single entry can't reveal.

Digests

Weekly and monthly retrospectives (a longer view), surfaced when the signal is strong enough to say something.

Motifs

Recurring tensions and alignments that only show themselves across many entries. Patterns you live inside but rarely see.

Micro-Exercises

Short, contextual interventions (sixty to one-hundred-twenty seconds), offered only when the moment calls for one.

How it stays yours.

Encrypted on your device

Your entries are scrambled on your phone before they're stored or synced. We don't hold the keys.

Personal details stripped before processing

Names, places, and other identifying details are removed before any AI processing. The pattern analysis never sees them.

No ads. No data for sale.

The business model is a subscription. Your reflections aren't product inputs for anyone but you.

Behavioral analytics only

We use Mixpanel to understand how the app is used, never what you write. Content and signals stay encrypted and local.
