Mood tracking apps can be really important and useful, whether you want to be more mindful \u2013 or if you need to track it for your therapist. That said, lots of apps either charge a subscription, are lacking in depth, or don\u2019t have everything you might need. InnerPulse aims to solve that, while keeping privacy at the center.<\/p>\n

First and foremost, InnerPulse has a native-feeling UI, embracing the Liquid Glass design language of iOS 26.<\/p>\n

In the app, you can track your mood on a 0-10 scale, and it supports over 85 mood factors where you can choose what made your day good or bad. Then, from that data, it keeps in mind what tends to make you feel the way you do. You can select factors based on sleep, nutrition, work, exercise, social, digital, self-care, health, environment, and finances. You can also write some additional notes if you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n

Beyond your daily mood entry, InnerPulse also supports in depth questionnaires if you\u2019re facing anxiety or depression, including PHQ-9, GAD-7, K10, and PHQ-4 surveys. These are just screeners, so they aren\u2019t conclusive, but they do give help you keep track of yourself.<\/p>\n

Then, with all of this data, you can look at your trends over time and get a better idea of yourself, or share it with medical professionals.<\/p>\n

InnerPulse is available on the App Store for $4.99. It\u2019s a one time purchase, with no ads or subscriptions. You\u2019ll need an iPhone or iPad running iOS 18.6 or later.<\/p>\n
