A mood diary you can walk.

One step a day

Morning and evening, tap the colour closest to how you are. That’s the whole check-in. Add feeling words or a note if you want to.

Each check-in moves you one step across your own stretch of hill country, onto ground as high as you felt.

Ups and downs

The map shows the shape of a season, not a score. There’s no average to beat and no streak to lose. Low days are part of the walk, and the path always carries on.

Intentions and cairns

Set a few small intentions for the day. Each one you do adds a stone to that day’s cairn. They’re about what you do, never about how you should feel. In the evening you can carry one to tomorrow or let it go.

A new map each season

Every season starts on fresh ground. Finished maps go on a shelf, kept exactly as you walked them, so you can look back at your autumn or your spring.

What stays on your phone

• Your colours, notes, feeling words and intentions stay on your iPhone.
• iCloud sync is optional. It uses your own private iCloud, which we can’t see.
• Saving to Apple Health is optional. Each colour goes in as a State of Mind.
• Sharing anonymous usage is off unless you switch it on. It never includes your colours or anything you write.
• There’s no account and there are no ads.

Check in from widgets on the Home Screen and Lock Screen, or from Control Centre. Reminders, if you want them, skip any day you’ve already checked in. Paper-light by day, and its own night colours in Dark Mode.

Who made it

Gloaming is made by Callum Deas in Scotland. The name is Scots for twilight. The five colours come from it, and each one is lighter than the last, so they still read in greyscale and for people with colour blindness.
