Inner Compass

What is Inner Compass?

Inner Compass is a voice journaling app that turns messy, real-life thoughts into clear insights and small, value-aligned actions. It’s designed to help you build psychological flexibility using ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) principles.

What the app is

Inner Compass is a private journaling companion. You can speak a voice note or write a text entry. The app helps you reflect on what you’re experiencing, then offers a practical next step that fits who you want to be.

  • Capture: record a voice note or type a quick entry
  • Understand: get a grounded reframe that helps you “unhook” from sticky thoughts
  • Act: receive a couple of small, doable actions aligned with your chosen values

What problem it solves

When you’re stressed, anxious, stuck, or overwhelmed, it’s hard to think clearly — and even harder to take the next right step. Inner Compass helps you slow down, name what’s happening, and move forward without needing a perfect mood or perfect plan.

The goal isn’t to “fix” your feelings. It’s to help you respond in a way that’s kinder, clearer, and more aligned with your values.

What makes it different

  • ACT-based: built around evidence-informed ACT concepts (values, acceptance, defusion, committed action)
  • Voice-first: you can talk naturally instead of typing everything out
  • Action-oriented: not just insights — you get small “micro-actions” you can complete in real life
  • Values as the “North Star”: your chosen values shape the actions and direction over time
  • Privacy-first: your journal text is encrypted at rest on the server

Who it’s for

Inner Compass is for people who want a simple daily practice that helps them handle difficult thoughts and emotions, while still moving toward the life they care about.
