If a part of you likes the idea of a private space that helps you track your inner world and you don’t mind a few rough edges while it’s new I’d love to hear from you.
Stop treating your feelings like a “vague danger cloud.” Join our private beta to master Emotional Granularity the art of naming feelings with precision to quiet the nervous system. Help me build a higher-resolution way to reflect.
“How can I help?”
The best feedback is specific. When you use the app, ask yourself:
- Did naming the emotion (Granularity) actually make it feel smaller?
- Was the helper ‘10% kinder’ reframe actually helpful, or did it feel ‘fake’?
- Did the SOS tools help you settle when you felt anxiouse or stressed’?
- Tap the “Feedback” icon in the app settings to send us a quick note. I will read every word.

Journaling For Free
I am trying to create a free private sanctuary for your inner world, built to help you slow down, tell the truth, and grow. Between Paths Journal is a local‑first, encrypted space for people who crave clarity without distraction. It supports you when your mind is busy, and softens enough for your own voice to come through.
No ads. No tracking. No cloud. Just your words, on your device, protected like they matter — because they do.
Facts vs Story
This is one of the core tools.
It helps you separate:
- What actually happened (observable facts)
- What your mind added (interpretation, fear, assumptions, old scripts)
It’s not about judging yourself. It’s about seeing more clearly. And that often changes everything.
Mood + life tracking (without making it clinical)
Track Mood, Energy, and Stress, alongside habits and context like:
- sleep
- exercise
- social time
- routines that help (or don’t)
Over time, patterns become visible. And you start to understand what your nervous system is asking for.
Calm tools for when the world gets loud
When you’re overwhelmed, writing isn’t always possible. So Between Paths includes an SOS suite you can use in the moment.
- Guided breathing (Box Breathing + 4-7-8) with smooth visuals and optional haptics
- 5-4-3-2-1 grounding to bring you out of your head and back into the room
- Body scan to find tension, soften it, and come back into your body
Sometimes you don’t need insight first.
Sometimes you need steadiness first..
