The Inner Game

Quiet the mind, play your best

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

New: redesigned Journal and Insights. Write about the actions your coach gives you, track their status, and watch your patterns become visible. Your potential is already there. What gets in the way is interference: the doubt, fear, and self-judgment that show up right when it matters most. The Inner Game is built on a simple truth from Tim Gallwey's classic framework: Performance = Potential − Interference. You don't perform better by trying harder. You perform better by getting out of your own way. This is daily mental practice for athletes and performers. Tennis, pickleball, running, golf, chess, and anyone who's felt their mind work against them under pressure. HOW IT WORKS You start each morning with a short clip that teaches you a skill of the inner game, from a course you've enrolled in, or from our growing library. Then you talk it through with your coach and set your intention for the day. A moment to reflect in your journal closes the loop. Over time, you learn to recognize your own interference, the specific thoughts and patterns that pull you out of your game, and to quiet them. Not by force. By awareness. Your Insights section tracks these patterns as they emerge, so the shift becomes visible, not just felt. Want to learn at your own pace? Check out the Academy: courses, sessions, and a growing library of video on the topics that matter most to you. BUILT AROUND YOUR MOMENTS Your matches, races, and rounds aren't just dates on a calendar. They're what the practice points toward. Tell us what you're preparing for and when, and the closer you get to it, the more your training — and your coach — sharpens for that moment. WHAT YOU'LL FIND - A daily practice that fits into real life - Courses that take you deeper into the inner game, one lesson at a time - Coaching that meets you where you are - Concrete actions from your coach — tried in real play, tracked in your journal - A growing understanding of what interferes with your performance - A calmer, clearer mind when the pressure is on It all comes down to a moment. We help you get ready for it. Terms of Use: https://www.theinnergame.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.theinnergame.app/privacy

The Inner Game is a performance psychology coaching app. It combines a live AI voice coach, an AI text chat, a content library (the Academy), a daily guided practice, journaling, and personal insights. How the core experience works: on the Today page, users are assigned short audio clips to listen to, then talk to the AI coach to apply the concept to their own life, and finally reflect in the journal. The Academy is a library of content users can explore at their own pace. The Insights section surfaces patterns about the user over time — including "actions" (small practices the coach suggests), "interferences" (mental patterns that get in the way), and "best self" moments. - Microphone access is required to speak with the coach; please allow the mic permission when prompted. It is used only for live voice coaching sessions. - To talk to the coach: tap the + button in the bottom right, or start the morning ritual on the Today page. - An active internet connection is required at all times to speak with the coach. - The app allows users to listen to audio excerpts via the Today tab or the Academy tab, both with the app open and in the background with the phone locked. - Most of the Academy content is gated behind a subscription paywall. The provided demo account has no active subscription, so you can test the full purchase flow. Purchases complete through the sandbox environment at no charge. New in this version (1.4.0): - The Journal tab shows entries and coaching sessions in one timeline; a filter in the top-right lets users hide sessions. Journal entries can also be written about a specific action (via the action's page in Insights). - In Insights, each action, interference, and best-self moment opens as its own page. Users can change an action's status (pending / trying), archive it, mark an interference as quieted, or delete either. - Note: actions and interferences are generated from coaching sessions, so a fresh account shows empty Insights until a session has been completed. Subscription & AI disclosure: - The paywall displays all required auto-renewable subscription information: title, length, price and price-per-month, auto-renewal terms, and functional links to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use (EULA). These links are in the paywall's fixed footer and are always visible without scrolling. - All new subscriptions in the app go exclusively through Apple's In-App Purchase system. Separately, some users first subscribed on our website (billed via Stripe). For those users only, Profile → Subscription shows their existing plan, and "Manage Subscription" opens Stripe's secure billing portal in an in-app browser so they can update payment details or cancel the subscription they already hold. This is account management of a previously purchased subscription (per guideline 3.1.3(a)) — the app never offers, advertises, or links to an external way to purchase. Users who subscribed inside the app manage their subscription through the native App Store subscription sheet instead. - AI features (the live voice coach and text chat) process data via LiveKit, Deepgram, OpenAI, Cartesia, Voyage AI, and Anthropic. Users consent at sign-up by accepting the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service (required checkbox), and via the system microphone-permission prompt shown before any session.
