small steps, brighter days

Find the word that actually fits.

“Fine” is not a feeling. Feelwheel starts you at fear or love and walks you out through 48 words until you reach the one that is true. No score. No broken streak. No AI telling you what you feel.

Start at the centre. Fear, or love?

The check-in

Three taps from vague to specific.

one

Start with fear or love

Every feeling in Feelwheel grows from one of two roots. Choosing between them takes a second and already tells you something.

two

Narrow to a family

Six families sit under each root — anxious, sad, joyful, peaceful and the rest. Pick the one that is closest, not the one that is perfect.

three

Land on the word

Four shades sit under each family. This is where "bad" becomes "let down", and where "good" becomes "grounded". Then write, if you want to.

Inside the app

One quiet minute, once a day.

Swipe through. This is the whole app — there is not a hidden feed or a leaderboard behind it.

What is inside

Quiet software that stays out of the way.

A journal that stays yours

Notes, photos and voice moments attached to an entry, stored on your device.

Search how you think

Find past entries by feeling, or by the words you wrote yourself.

Patterns, not verdicts

Weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly views that show you shape rather than score.

Where your day already is

Reminders, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Control Center and Shortcuts.

Check in from your wrist

Name a feeling on Apple Watch and it lands on your iPhone.

Yours to take away

Export and re-import the whole journal as JSON. Optional Apple Health mirroring.

Private by default

We cannot read your journal.

Not as a policy we promise to keep — as a thing the app is not built to do.

  • No Feelwheel account, and no Feelwheel server to hold your journal.
  • No advertising, no cross-app tracking, no third-party analytics SDK.
  • No cloud AI reading what you write.
  • Optional iCloud sync goes to your own private iCloud database, never to us.
  • Apple Health mirroring is off until you turn it on, and is write-only.

The full detail, including retention, exports and your rights, is in the privacy policy. Questions go to cankatsarac@gmail.com.

Free, and Plus
