InnerPulse is a mood journal that uses clinical screenings (PHQ-9, GAD-7, K10) and automatic correlation analysis to show users what lifts or drains their mood, running entirely offline on iPhone with a one-time purchase.
What is InnerPulse?
InnerPulse is an iOS app built for people in therapy, between sessions, or on a waiting list. You enter a mood score (1–10) and tap influence factors (e.g., exercised, slept well, deadline stress). The app automatically calculates each factor’s impact on your mood and stores all data locally on your device. It was created by solo developer Marvin Blome in Hamburg, Germany.
Key Features
- Clinical questionnaires — Includes PHQ‑9, GAD‑7, K10, and PHQ‑4. Complete a questionnaire in-app and see your score over time; export results as CSV for your therapist.
- 100+ influence factors — Tag each mood entry with factors like sleep, exercise, stress, time outdoors. InnerPulse automatically reveals which factors correlate with higher or lower mood (e.g., “Exercised +2.5”).
- Fully offline, no account — No cloud, no tracking, no account creation. Your data stays on your iPhone. Face ID lock is supported.
- One‑time purchase — €9.99 on the App Store. No subscription, no in‑app purchases.
- CSV export — Exports mood scores, factors, notes, and questionnaire results as a properly formatted CSV file, ready for Numbers, R, or direct email to your therapist.

- Privacy‑first — GDPR‑native, made in Europe. No data leaves your device.
Who is it for?
