A private mood diary and calming toolkit for anxious days and ordinary ones.
iPhone first, Android later · Free · No ads · No tracking
Some days are heavy. Brain Pal gives you one tap to say so, one minute to settle, and one small thing to do next. No streak guilt. No noise. Just a soft place to land.
One gentle step
at a time.
Check in
One tap to say how you feel.
Tap a face, add a note only if you want to. Thought records walk you from a worrying thought to a kinder one.
Calm down
Slow your body in a minute.
Guided breathing with soft haptics, plus 5-4-3-2-1 grounding. Notice how you feel before and after.
See patterns
Your month, at a glance.
A calendar of faces and simple charts. Spot what helps without needing to be good at maths.
Worry time
Park it. Plan one small step.
Write a worry down for later, then choose whether to plan around it or let it go.
Progress
Skills that only go up.
Levels grow with what you actually do and never go down. Progress is your effort, not a streak to lose.
Journal
A private place to write.
Feels like your notes app, with optional prompts when words are hard to find. A line is enough.
Small things that
help every day.
Five daily anchors
Up to five tiny habits like water, a walk or one line of writing. Deliberately not a big to-do list.
Reminders that respect you
Gentle nudges that skip themselves once you've already done the thing.
Sleep, if you want it
See sleep from Apple Health next to your mood. Read-only, and it stays on your phone.
Coins for showing up
Spend earned coins on rest days that protect your streak. No real money, ever.
Works offline
Everything works with no signal and no account. Sync between devices is optional.
Apple Health
Save breathing sessions to Mindful Minutes when you choose to.
Privacy
What's on your phone,
stays on your phone.
Everything is stored on your device by default. An account only adds sync. Sleep data is read only if you allow it, and it never leaves your phone.

Yours to delete

Meet Pal.
Your soft sidekick. Pal cheers you on when you show up, keeps you company when things are hard, and never guilts you for missing a day.
Waving hello
Thinking it through
Celebrating you
Resting with you
Questions.
Is it really free?
Yes. Brain Pal is free, with no ads, no subscriptions, and no in-app purchases.
Do I need an account?
No. It works fully on your phone. An account is optional and only adds sync between devices.
Where is my data stored?
By default, on your device. If you choose an account, data is stored securely so only you can access it, and you can delete your account and data in the app.
Does it use AI?
Only if you add your own Google Gemini key. AI helpers are off by default.
Is it a replacement for therapy?
No. Brain Pal is a self-help companion and does not diagnose or treat any condition.
Is there an Android version?
Brain Pal launches on iPhone first. Android is planned for later. Tell us your phone in the form above and we'll email you when it's ready.
