Journal
Write about your day.
Write a quick note or a longer entry. Keep the ones you want to return to, search for something you wrote, or leave a draft to finish later.
Start with the weather.
Choose the weather that feels closest. Set its intensity or add a note if you’d like more detail. You can check in again if your day changes.
Stormy
Loud and charged
Rainy
Heavy but moving
Cloudy
Low and quiet
Breezy
Restless but moving
Partly Cloudy
Mixed but open
Sunny
Clear and light
History
Look back at your check-ins.
Open a day to see what you logged, or view a weekly recap. It’s a way to remember how things felt at the time, including the details that are easy to forget.
The First Aid Kit
Something to try on a difficult day.
Try a breathing exercise or a grounding prompt. The First Aid Kit also includes affirmations and links to support resources.
- Guided breathing
- Grounding exercises
- Daily affirmations
- Support resources
Choose a style you like.
Keep the colour of Default, switch to Ink’s cream paper, or use Nocturne’s dark background. You can change it in Settings.
Keep what works for you.
Rearrange your home screen and History, choose your tabs, and make your own colour palette. Add weather buttons, compact summaries or a quick-save shortcut if you’d like them.
New in 2.3
In your own words.
Change the descriptions beneath each weather, look back by context, and export a summary to share. There are also thirty new affirmations in Lift and a warmer paper colour for Ink.
Your words
Change the line under each weather to words that fit you. They’ll appear on your home screen, in History and on your widget.
Weather by context
See the weather you logged alongside each context, like work or sleep. It simply describes what you noted, with no scores or comparisons.
A summary to share
Export a PDF of a week or a month to share with a therapist, carer or GP. Your notes and journal stay out unless you choose to include them.
Privacy
Saved on your device.
No sign-up, advertising, or tracking. Your journal and forecasts are stored on your device. Add a Face ID lock if you’d like another layer of privacy.
Where is my writing stored?
Your entries are saved in protected files on your device and excluded from automatic device backups. There is no Inner Forecast account or server holding your journal.
Can I keep a backup?
Yes. Export a backup and a readable text copy from Settings. You choose where to keep them. You can import an Inner Forecast backup later, and turn on a monthly reminder to make a copy. Backups can also carry your personalisation choices.
Can I share my check-ins with someone who supports me?
Yes. Share a summary makes a PDF of the dates you choose, right on your device. Notes and journal entries are only included if you turn them on, and nothing is sent until you choose where it goes.
What about Apple Health?
Sharing check-ins with Apple Health is optional and off by default. If you enable it, those entries are subject to Apple’s Health privacy and sync settings. Your journal writing is not sent to Health.
Why I made it
I wanted a mood journal that didn’t become another thing to keep up with, or another subscription. Something you could use twice in an hour, leave for a week, or open just to log how you feel without writing anything.
