How it works
Choose, and keep choosing
- 01Pick the closer oneTwo feelings, each with a plain-language gloss so near-synonyms stay distinguishable. Want a harder call? A stepper takes the set up to five at a time.
- 02Pass on what doesn't fitIf neither is right, swipe forward for a new set. Swipe back to return to the last one — which also takes back the answer you gave it.
- 03Read the roundEvery seven picks, a short reading: how pleasant, how activated, which family of feeling dominated, and what kept winning.
- 04Watch the map fill inYour choices are plotted by how pleasant they are and how much energy they carry, ranked against the feelings they beat, and charted day by day.
Why pairs
A forced choice is easier to answer honestly
"Rate your mood, 1 to 10" asks you to be your own instrument. Picking between two named feelings doesn't. Each choice is one small, answerable question — and because every pick is a comparison, the app can rank feelings the way a tournament ranks players: beating content counts for more than beating bored.
Pairs aren't random. The app favours feelings you've seen least, never puts two from the same family against each other, and mostly matches feelings of similar standing, because a close call carries more information than an obvious one.
Your data
It stays yours
Feels Finder has no accounts, no servers, no analytics, no ads, and no third-party SDKs. Your picks live on your device, and — if you use iCloud — in your own private iCloud storage, where only your devices can read them. Nothing is sent to the developer or anyone else.
You can export everything as a CSV whenever you like, and delete everything from inside the app.
Support
Something wrong, or something missing?
Questions, bug reports, and requests for feelings the vocabulary is missing all go to the same place:
