What MoodPals does

Daily stress score

Know your stress level in one glance

MoodPals compares each Apple Watch HRV reading with your own last 21 days, not population averages, and shows a clear level: Great, Normal, Elevated or Overload. You also get an energy score built from your sleep, stress and activity.

  • HRV trend coloured by stress level
  • Hourly heart rate and resting heart rate
  • Day, week, month and year stress trends
Body & recovery

Sleep, activity and calm, all in one place

Sleep duration and stages, Move/Exercise/Stand rings, daylight, mindful minutes, steps and noise levels come straight from Apple Health. One tap starts a guided breathing break when your pal looks worried.

  • Sleep detail with stages and heart rate while asleep
  • Calm, box and unwind breathing
  • Water, caffeine and mood check-ins
Stress diary

Find out what actually drives your stress

Every diary entry is matched to your stress level at the time you wrote it. Tag what's going on (work, sleep, caffeine…) and MoodPals shows which tags come up most often on your hardest days, plus a weekly recap.

  • Timeline coloured by stress level
  • "What drives your stress" insights
  • Prompts that change with how today is going
Ask MoodPal

An AI pal that knows your numbers

Ask "Why is my stress high today?" and get an answer based on your own readings and diary, with buttons to start a breathing break, log water or open your trends. Save useful answers to your diary.

  • Suggested questions for today
  • Private: your data stays in your account
  • Not a therapist and not a diagnosis, just a friendly pal
My Circle & Little Signals

Share how you feel with the people you trust

Invite close friends or family with your personal code. Nobody can find you by searching. After a check-in, choose who sees your mood, and they can answer with a Little Signal: a quick emoji hug, a bit of sunshine or a "you've got this". Shared moods disappear after 24 hours.

  • You share your mood, never your raw health data
  • Groups like Close Friends or Family, each with the moods they can see
  • Emoji-only reactions ❤️ 🤗 🫶 ☀️ 💪 🎉
  • Mute, hide your moods from, or remove anyone at any time
Apple Watch

Your pal, right on your wrist

The MoodPals watch app shows the same animated pal as your iPhone, changing with your mood and stress level. Add a MoodPals complication and your mood sits right next to the time, so you can see it without opening the app. Measure your stress on demand, check in with a tap and pick a watch theme that suits you.

  • Mood, Mood & Stress and Stress score complications
  • Measure now: a fresh stress reading in about a minute
  • Tap to change your mood, guided breathing on your wrist
  • Same stress score on your iPhone and Apple Watch
Spiritual reading

A Bible verse for how you feel

After a mood check-in, MoodPals asks three quick questions about what you're feeling and suggests a passage from a curated World English Bible catalog that fits what you're going through, with a short reflection for today. You can choose to let it consider your recent wellness records, too.

  • Verified Scripture with a link to read it at the source
  • Save favorite verses to come back to
  • Your latest verse on your Apple Watch

How it works

  1. 1

    Connect Apple Health

    Approve read-only access on your iPhone. Your Apple Watch already records HRV in the background.

  2. 2

    Build your baseline

    After about 3 days of readings, MoodPals learns what "normal" looks like for you.

  3. 3

    Check in with your pal

    See your daily level, write a quick note, take a breath, and watch your patterns get clearer week by week.

Private by design

Your health readings and diary are stored in your own account and protected by per-user access rules. MoodPals only reads from Apple Health and never writes to it. Your circle sees only the moods you choose to share, never your health data. We never sell your data or use it for advertising.

Read our Privacy Policy

MoodPals is a wellness app. Stress scores are estimates based on your own readings, not medical measurements or diagnoses. In an emergency, contact local emergency services.

Questions

Do I need an Apple Watch?

For the stress score, yes. HRV is recorded by Apple Watch. Without one, you can still use mood check-ins, the stress diary, breathing and Ask MoodPal.

When does MoodPals launch?

We're inviting early subscribers to a TestFlight beta first. Join the list and you'll be among the first to get an invite.

How is the stress score calculated?

Each HRV sample is compared with the median of your previous 21 days, adjusted by your resting heart rate. Lower HRV and higher resting heart rate than your usual push the score up.

Do I have to use the Bible verse feature?

No. Spiritual reading is completely optional. Open it when you'd like encouragement; everything else in MoodPals works without it.

Is it free?

Yes. MoodPals Free includes all six pals, mood check-ins, the daily stress score, the Apple Watch app and My Circle. MoodPals Plus adds advanced trends, extra customization, expanded circles and AI reflections for $1.99/month or $19.99/year.

Do I need an account?

No. You can start as a guest and even subscribe to Plus without one. Create an account when you want to sync across devices or use My Circle; your data and subscription come with you.

What do my friends see when I share?

Only the mood you choose to share (for example "Calm"), with the groups you pick. They never see your heart rate, HRV, sleep or diary. Shared moods disappear after 24 hours, and you can stop sharing with anyone at any time.

How do I cancel Plus?

Open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and choose MoodPals. Cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date to avoid the next charge.

How do I contact you?
