Your co-pilot for mental health care

Anticipate is a private mood journal that predicts your mood, spots patterns, and helps you prepare for mood swings, depression, stress or anxiety spike while your phone stays in your pocket.

Anticipate is designed to help you understand yourself with far less effort than traditional mood diary apps. Instead of relying on constant manual input, much of the tracking happens quietly in the background. Signals like sleep, activity, weather, travel, and calendar events are captured automatically whenever possible while always giving you full control to review, edit, or adjust anything at any time.

This approach helps improve accuracy over time without turning mood tracking into a daily chore. Each morning, Anticipate greets you with a gentle mood forecast and a short, guided journal prompt, making reflection feel simple and approachable rather than overwhelming.

Anticipate is also private by design. The app is ad-free, transparent about how your data is collected and stored, and built so your personal information stays yours — never sold, shared, or used for external advertising or AI training.

Anticipate works as a mood tracking app by bringing together signals from multiple parts of your daily life. Our technology uses a sensor-fusion model that blends data such as your sleep from the previous night, today’s weather, device motion, calendar events, recent travel, and your past mood entries or notes. Together, these inputs help Anticipate identify patterns and provide context around how you may be feeling.

You can also add your own events or emotional triggers manually such as social plans, work stress, or personal milestones and compare them over time with your mood and activity data. This makes it easier to spot relationships between how you feel and what’s happening in your life.

If you prefer a lighter approach, you can simply open Anticipate in the morning to see a short mood snapshot. Based on your connected data, past tags, and journal notes, the app offers a gentle overview of how you might be feeling that day giving you awareness without requiring constant input.

In this way, Anticipate combines automated insights with personal reflection, offering a more flexible and customizable approach to mood tracking than traditional apps.

Anticipate keeps gathering signals, so your calendar doesn’t go blank. When you return, you’ll still see sleep, activity, and weather patterns for the days you were away.

No. Opening the app for a moment before bed lets your iPhone track motion and model sleep overnight, no watch required. An Apple Watch can improve accuracy, but the core features work fine without it.

Accuracy comes from patterns across multiple signals, not a single sensor. Even without watch-grade sleep, Anticipate combines movement, weather, and previous mood entries to stay directionally helpful. You can always tweak a forecast if it doesn’t feel right.

Your feelings are sensitive. Face ID makes sure only you can see them and also gates areas that hold raw travel or self-reported information.

Anticipate can be used as a private journaling app, designed to help you reflect without giving up control over your data. To make journaling easier, Anticipate pre-fills daily starting points using signals from sources you’ve chosen to connect such as Apple Health, device motion, and other approved apps. This information is used to suggest mood insights and prompts, helping you begin your journal entry with context rather than a blank page.

Only you can read your journal. All journal entries are protected with Face ID or device-level security, and the Anticipate team does not have access to your private entries or personal insights. Your journal content stays on your device and is never shared, sold, or used to train external AI models now or in the future.

Everything you write belongs solely to you.
