Most journaling apps read one keyword, decide how you feel, and call it insight. Verafeel reads what you actually wrote, then asks you a question about it, and lets you overrule the answer in your own words.
Naming what you feel is the hard part. Most apps skip straight past it. We built the whole thing around it instead.
A mood tracker files the word away and shows you a chart of it later. Verafeel treats the word as the start of a question, because naming what you feel is the hard part, and that's exactly what most apps skip.
This is the real mechanic below, not a recording of it.
Six real things worth knowing about. Every screen here is the actual app.
From the closed beta. Nothing trimmed, nothing paraphrased.
"How does it know I am sad"
"I love the mascots, they are cute and the colors are relaxing"
"Stamp Journaling is so cool"
"The app is designed with intent and really gets the pain points of keeping two apps, where it does both journaling and mood tracking"
Eight core emotions from a long-standing psychology model, each with its own color throughout the app. A bar or dot in one of those colors always means that emotion, never decoration.
Breathing, grounding, thought reframes and gratitude, drawn from established practice. Offered as a gentle suggestion, never a diagnosis or therapy.
Everyone starts on one shared rubric, no assumptions. Each time you correct a reading, your own baseline shifts, so a 6 out of 10 comes to mean your 6, not a stranger's average.
We don't sell, rent, trade or license your entries to anyone, at any price. The business model is people paying for the app, which is the only reason your writing never has to be the product.
A full copy of your entries as a CSV, right from the You tab. Free.
Account deletion, with a day to change your mind, then it's gone.
Face, fingerprint or PIN is handled by your phone. We never see it.
Entries are read to score them, then that's it. Encrypted at rest, row-level security on every row.
A small group is testing it on iOS and Android while the core loop settles. Leave your email and we'll reach out when a spot opens.
Or email verafeelapp@gmail.com directly. One person reads it.
