Vedana
A mood journal.
Record how you feel in a couple of taps, see the shape of it over weeks and months, and keep the whole record on your own device.
- An emotion taxonomy of categories, groups and feelings, so a mood can be named precisely rather than reduced to a number.
- A Home Screen widget that records without opening the app, and a watch app and complication for the wrist.
- Notes, photos and places attached to an entry, and Apple Health integration for State of Mind.
- English and Korean, with an in-app language setting independent of the system.

Insights (Apple Intelligence)
Apple Intelligence draws a fitting insight from the moods you have recorded. Insights are generated safely by on-device AI, without your data ever leaving the device. (iPhone 15 Pro and later)
Vedana has no account, no login and no server of ours. Entries are written to the device and, if the user is signed in to iCloud, mirrored through their own private iCloud database, which we cannot read. Nothing is sent to us, and there is no analytics or advertising SDK in the app.
A journal entry can be locked with a passcode held in the device Keychain, and notes are encrypted with a key that never leaves the device. Data can be exported to a file or deleted outright from within the app.
Insights are written by Apple’s on-device model, so the summary it reads stays on the phone. A locked note is left out of that summary rather than decrypted into it.
