Ponderwell: Therapy Journal

Therapy Journal & Mood Tracker

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

A private companion for therapy — guided prompts before and after sessions, mood tracking between visits, and a one-tap Prep Sheet for your next appointment. Ponderwell — The Private Therapy Journal & Mood Companion Designed by a psychologist, Ponderwell is a private companion for therapy: track your mood between sessions, journal with guided prompts, prepare for each appointment, and see your patterns over time. It works just as well alongside coaching, support groups, workshops, retreats — or your own daily reflection practice. Everything stays on your device. No cloud. No account. No AI. No ads. No tracking. MADE FOR LIFE BETWEEN THERAPY SESSIONS • Mood check-ins — A fast, science-based mood tracker built on the Circumplex Model of emotion: feeling, intensity, and body sensations. Patterns emerge over weeks of therapy. • Gather & Reflect — Guided journaling prompts before and after each therapy or coaching session, so you arrive more prepared and capture more between sessions. • Prep Sheet — A one-tap summary of everything since your last session: mood check-ins, journal entries, homework, and open agenda items. Review it before you walk in, or share it with your therapist as a PDF. • Private journal — Free-form writing with optional photos and voice notes, plus journal prompts when you want a starting point. • Unsent letters — Write what you're not yet ready to say out loud. • Goals & homework — Track therapy homework and the goals you're working on between sessions. • Session agenda — Capture topics as they come up during the week, so they're ready when you walk in. • Meditations — Short guided modes for grounding, breath work, and present-moment awareness. • Daily contemplations — A new quote each day to pause with, or share with friends and family. • Insights & reports — Mood patterns, before/after session comparisons, and emotion frequency. Export any report as a PDF to bring to therapy if you'd like. PRIVACY FIRST A therapy journal holds your most personal thoughts, so Ponderwell keeps everything on your device. No servers, no cloud storage, no accounts, no logins. The only data that ever leaves your phone is anonymous crash reporting (device model, OS version, error traces — never your personal content). SUBSCRIPTION Try everything free for 10 days. After that: • Free tier stays yours: basic journaling, mood check-ins, one journey, daily contemplations, meditations, unsent letters, homework, and session agenda. • Premium unlocks: the full Gather/Reflect cycle, pre-journal mood check-in, multiple journeys, the Insights dashboard, advanced meditation options, goal tracking, and all reports. • Pricing: $5.99/month, $39.99/year, or $69.99 lifetime (one-time purchase). You always keep full read access to everything you have ever written — regardless of subscription status. IMPORTANT Ponderwell is designed to support the work you do in therapy — it is not therapy itself, not a substitute for professional mental health care, and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you are in crisis, please call or text 988 (U.S. Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or contact your local emergency services. Designed for adults.
