Most mood tracker apps tell you what you felt. PAL goes a step further — it helps you make sense of it. Five things that work together to build real emotional self-awareness over time.
Start each day — or end it — with a two-minute check-in. Not a number from one to ten. A prompt that asks what's actually going on.
The check-in is designed to surface what's underneath the surface feeling. "Stressed" is usually covering something else. "Fine" often isn't. The check-in helps you find out.
Takes two minutes. Changes what the rest of the day looks like.
You said you feel overwhelmed. What's the one thing driving that most — if you had to pick just one?
After you check in, PAL asks questions — not to challenge you, but to help you look closer. These aren't generic journalling prompts. They're generated based on what you just said, designed to push gently past the first answer.
The first answer is usually the safe one. The second or third is where the real thing is.
The right question at the right moment. Not advice — just the question.
Some things don't fit in a check-in box. Some things need to be talked through. PAL's conversation mode gives you a space to do that — an AI that listens, reflects back what it's hearing, and asks the kind of follow-up question that helps you find the thing you were trying to say.
It doesn't give advice. It doesn't have opinions about your decisions. It helps you organise what's already in your head so you can hear it more clearly.
Not a chatbot. Not a therapist. A thinking partner.
Couldn't figure out why I was so short with everyone. Now I think it was because I hadn't slept properly in five days.
Slept eight hours. Completely different person. The connection between sleep and patience is so obvious I can't believe I didn't see it.
A free-form mood journal that sits alongside your check-ins and conversations. Write as little or as much as you want. What makes it different from a blank notebook: your entries are connected to your emotional history, so you can look back and see what was happening when you wrote what you wrote.
Patterns emerge over time that are invisible day to day.
Not a void. A record of how you've been doing — and how far you've come.
Over time, PAL builds a mood chart from your check-ins and journal entries. Not raw data — a readable picture of how you've actually been doing. A visual mood scale that shows where you tend to land, what tends to move it, and when.
The patterns that are invisible day to day become obvious week over week. And seeing the pattern is most of the work.
Not a snapshot. A record of your emotional patterns — built automatically, just by showing up.
Your mood has been trending up for 3 days.
The five features aren’t separate tools. They’re a loop — and over weeks, that loop builds something genuinely useful.
Surfaces the feeling
Helps you explore it
Processes it fully
Captures what you found
Shows the pattern
People who use PAL consistently notice patterns they couldn’t see before.
That the anxiety on Sunday isn’t about the week ahead — it’s about a specific relationship.
That the low days cluster around particular events or conversations.
That what feels like anger is usually disappointment first.
That their mood scale on Sunday evenings has been lower for months — and they can see exactly when it started.
Seeing the pattern is most of the work.
