Mood Track Pro

Every emotion is a protector trying to help you:

Based on Internal Family Systems (IFS) concepts—an evidence-based approach that sees emotions as parts doing their job, not character flaws.

Your feelings aren't the problem. They're messengers. This app helps you understand what they're trying to tell you.

I have ADHD. I was building a mood tracker, but kept procrastinating by reading books in a reading app.

One day I noticed my achievement badges. One said: "Masterpiece Enthusiast."

Something clicked. What if emotions had positive names like that?

Three words appeared in my mind: Boundary Defender. Myth Buster. Truth Seeker.

(Looking back, those were probably my most active protectors. My subconscious recognized patterns I'd been living with for years.)

I asked an AI to help me expand the list. It gave me 18 archetypes—characters representing different emotional patterns.

I kept building. Then I asked another AI for feedback. It said: "You just described Internal Family Systems therapy."

I told my therapist. She'd learned about IFS in her training and thought my archetype system was creative—but she didn't see it as an application of IFS therapy.

I looked it up. IFS is a 40-year-old evidence-based framework about emotions as protective "parts." My archetypes weren't original—I'd accidentally borrowed concepts from an established therapeutic approach.

But maybe that's the point: if these therapeutic concepts can emerge independently through self-reflection, they shouldn't be kept as secret. They should be in everyone's pocket.

Note: This isn't IFS therapy—it's a self-tracking tool inspired by IFS concepts. It helps you notice patterns, not replace professional support. If you need therapy, please see a trained therapist.
