HOW YOU USE INNERPULSE
1. Capture your mood. In the journal, you log your mood on a scale from 1 to 10, optionally write a few words, and get context-aware writing prompts when you need them.
2. Connect factors. For each entry, you choose from over 110 factors across 11 areas of life: sleep, nutrition, work, exercise, social life, digital consumption, self-care, health, entertainment, environment, and finances. Custom factors and your own categories can be added in seconds.
3. Connect Apple Health (optional). If you grant access, InnerPulse suggests factors based on your health data or activates them automatically: workouts, sleep, cycle, hydration. When the data is clear, the app handles it; when it's ambiguous, it asks. The weather is also no longer something you need to enter manually. Once you enable it in settings, sunny and rainy days are automatically suggested as a factor.
4. Complete clinical questionnaires. In the check-in tab, you answer recognized screening tests: PHQ-9, PHQ-4, GAD-7, and K10. You receive objective evaluations that you can take with you to your next appointment if needed. (Not a diagnosis, that comes from a professional.)
5. Understand your insights. The analysis tab goes deep. You see:
- which factors really influence your mood, and in which direction,
- on which weekdays you typically feel better or worse,
- how your questionnaire results have changed over weeks and months,
- how your mood unfolded across the entire year, a single pixel per day in the "Year in Pixels" view,
- trends, patterns, and correlations you wouldn't spot in everyday life.
6. Make it yours. Choose between four design themes with smooth transitions. InnerPulse adapts to your taste, not the other way around.

Ratings & Reviews
This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
APPLE HEALTH WORKOUTS MAPPED MORE CLEARLY
Until now, InnerPulse had a separate "Functional Training" factor that bundled several workout types from Apple Health. In practice this rarely fit, since most of those workouts are conceptually closer to strength training or HIIT. With 3.3 the mapping is cleaner:
- Functional Strength Training: now Strength Training
- Core Training: now Strength Training
- Cross Training: now HIIT
The "Functional Training" factor is dropped. On first launch of 3.3, InnerPulse removes the default factor automatically and cleans up all existing entries that referenced it. Mood scores, journal text, and all other factors remain unchanged.
Custom factors you created yourself with the same name are left untouched.

FULL THEME BACKGROUND IN EMPTY CATEGORIES
When you opened a custom factor category in Settings that didn't contain a factor yet, the theme background was only visible as a narrow strip in the center of the screen. The rest of the screen stayed empty or dark. In 3.3, the background fills the full width across all themes (Still Water, Paper Ink, Night Owl).

MIGRATION AND PRIVACY
- All mood entries, factors, and questionnaire results from version 3.2 are preserved.
- The migration that removes "Functional Training" runs once and exclusively locally on your device.
- As always, InnerPulse stays 100% local. No data ever leaves your device.
