Mood Track Pro

Every emotion has a job to do:

They're not "bad feelings." They're teammates trying to help.

This app helps you see who's working overtime—and what they need from you.

Inspired by parts-work ideas (like Internal Family Systems)—an evidence-based way to see emotions as helpful teammates, not flaws.

Your emotions 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.
