Mood tracker & diary for iPhone
Tidepaw
Your inner weather, mirrored.
A mood tracker and diary with a cozy sea-otter companion. Tell the island how today feels, and Nori and the sea mirror it.
Coming soon to the App Store
Why Tidepaw
A steady little place while the world moves fast
News, messages, plans that change overnight. Some days the water is calm and some days it isn't. Tidepaw gives you one small moment a day to notice your own weather, without judging it.
Your island and Nori mirror how you feel. They don't score you, fix your day or cheer you on. Tidepaw isn't a productivity tool, and there are no streaks to keep. Showing up is what counts, and missing a day never takes anything away.
How it works
One small check-in a day
-
Check in your inner weather
Bright, steady, tired, anxious or overwhelmed. There's no right answer.
-
Nori and the sea reflect it
Calm water on a bright day, big waves on an overwhelming one.
-
Drop an anchor
Pick one small thing that helped. Nothing today? That's okay too.
-
Add a note, if you like
One line for your diary. Skip it whenever you want.
-
Look back
See the days behind you and the waves you've ridden.
Features
Small things, kept gently
-
An island that changes with you
The sea and sky follow your mood, and the island follows your local time of day, from morning light to a moonlit sea.
-
Anchors
Keep the small things that helped you stay steady. Each anchor adds something to your island: a lighthouse, a lantern, a little boat.
-
Notes
Add a one-line note to any day. It's your diary, so it's there only when you want it.
-
Look back and weekly card
Every seven check-ins make a weekly card to look back on or share as an image. A note is included only when you choose.
-
Treasures
Sea glass and shells wash up over time and go into your treasure jar. Hard days stay quiet: no confetti, no pressure.
-
Home and Lock Screen widgets
See today's weather on your island and your day count. Your mood shows on the Lock Screen only if you turn it on.
-
Private by design
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your check-ins stay on your iPhone and, if iCloud is on, in your own iCloud, so your island comes back after a reinstall. You can export your data or delete all of it any time.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Is Tidepaw free?
Yes. Check-ins, anchors, notes, look back, the weekly card and treasures are free. Tidepaw Premium is optional and adds the Autumn Cove island, sea glass anchors and outfits for Nori. Support resources are always free.
Do I need an account?
No. There's nothing to sign up for. Open the app and meet Nori.
Where is my data stored?
On your iPhone, and if iCloud is on, in your own iCloud account so your island comes back after a reinstall. We can't see it. Tidepaw doesn't collect any data. See the Privacy Policy.
Does Tidepaw use AI?
No. There's no chatbot and nothing analyses your notes. Nori's little thoughts are short lines written ahead of time, not generated.
Is Tidepaw a replacement for therapy?
No. Tidepaw is a self-care companion, not a medical device, and it doesn't replace professional care. If things feel heavy, the app can show support lines for your country. If you're in crisis, contact your local emergency services.
What happens if I miss days?
Nothing is lost. There are no streaks, and nothing resets. Your island keeps its shape while you're away, and your day count only goes up.
Which countries is Tidepaw available in?
United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
How do I cancel Premium?
Subscriptions are managed by Apple. On your iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, choose Tidepaw and tap Cancel Subscription. Cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period to avoid the next charge. More help
