Mood tracking apps can be really important and useful if you want to be more mindful or need to monitor for your therapist. That said, many apps either charge a subscription fee or lack depth or everything you might need. Internal Pulse aims to solve this by keeping privacy at the center.
Best features
First of all, Internal Pulse It has a native interface that incorporates iOS 26’s Liquid Glass design language.
In the app, you can track your mood on a scale of 0-10 and it supports more than 85 mood factors from which you can choose which one makes your day good or bad. Then, based on that data, it considers what you tend to do to make you feel. You can choose factors based on sleep, nutrition, work, exercise, social, digital, self-care, health, environment and finance. You can also write additional notes if you want.
Apart from your daily mood, Internal Pulse It also supports in-depth questionnaires if you are experiencing anxiety or depression, including the PHQ-9, GAD-7, K10 and PHQ-4 questionnaires. These are just filters, so they’re not definitive, but they help you track yourself.
Then with all this information, you can look at your trends over time and get a better picture of yourself or share it with medical professionals.
