Name what you feel, spot the patterns in your mental health, and turn checking in on yourself into a journaling habit you look forward to.\n\n\"I’ve never been able to journal, but this little fox helps me process my thoughts and emotions.\" - App Store Review, 2026\n\nA mental health journal you will actually keep up.\nMost mental health journal and mood tracker apps get abandoned within a week. Foxtale is built to be picked up: short guided journal prompts, a cozy world that changes with each entry, and a self-care pet who is glad to see you. People tell us the journaling feels less like a task and more like a hobby, and that a few minutes each morning or evening has quietly become part of their self-care routine.\n\nUnderstand your emotions, not just log your mood.\nEach journal entry starts by naming the emotion, not just \"good\" or \"bad\" but the specific feeling underneath. That one step is what helps you process an emotion and move through it rather than sit in it, which is why Foxtale works as mental health support and not only as a mood tracker. Over time your mood tracker shows what lifts you, what drains you, and how your emotions shift across the week, so the mental health insights are about your life, not a generic score.\n\nA self-care pet, not a chore.\nAs you journal, your fox gathers your emotions as glowing orbs to restore a forgotten world. You can dress your fox and decorate their home, but the game stays in service of your self-care rather than the other way round. If you have tried a self-care pet app before and wanted more substance underneath the cute, Foxtale was made for you.\n\nMental health support for the hard stretches.\nFoxtale is often downloaded in the middle of something difficult: an anxiety flare-up, grief, a breakup, burnout, a diagnosis you are still getting your head around. The prompts are written for those moments, and the mood tracker gives you a calm, private place to put what you are carrying and to see your mental health steady over time.\n\nA journal built for minds that work differently.\nFoxtale is used by people living with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, BPD, PTSD and OCD, and by ADHD, autistic and AuDHD people who find open-ended journaling hard to start. Guided prompts, emotion labels and a feelings wheel give structure when a blank page does not, and gentle reminders help the habit stick without nagging. It also helps if you struggle to identify your emotions (alexithymia), or experience mood swings and shutdowns that a standard mood tracker misses.\n\nWhat's inside your mental health journal:\n\nMood tracker and emotion tracker with clear visual insights\nGuided journal prompts and emotion labels\nGratitude and reflection prompts for daily self-care and mental health check-ins\nShort emotion and mental health lessons grounded in real psychology\nA self-care pet fox and an evolving story driven by your entries\nCustomizable journal templates and reminders\n100% private: your journal and mood tracker data stay on your device\n\nBuilt by the mental health tracking team behind Bearable: Foxtale comes from the team behind Bearable, the health and mood tracking app used by hundreds of thousands of people living with chronic and mental health conditions. Everything in Foxtale, from the journal prompts to the mood tracker insights, is built on what we learned about what helps people keep tracking and what does not.\n\nStart your story today. Your fox is waiting.\n\nGet in touch with questions & feedback: support@joinfoxtale.com \nWebsite: https://joinfoxtale.com \nTerms: https://joinfoxtale.com/terms \nPrivacy Policy: https://joinfoxtale.com/privacy \nStandard Apple EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/\n\nFoxtale is a self-care and journaling tool.
