The Patterns tab: the week in words and the Atlas with drawings and findings for your landmarks.
The Today tab with the hunger question, ink marks for your moments and Bo beside you.

Three places, a seal, and more

The strip never leaves. Everything is one tap.

  • Today

    What is this hunger about? A small ink mark records what your body said. Bo keeps you company.

  • Patterns

    Your week in words and the Atlas with drawings and findings. Open a landmark and fly to it on the map from there.

  • The seal

    The wax seal at the centre of the strip opens a new moment. One tap away from any screen, at any scroll position.

  • Logbook

    Your history, one mark a moment. What your body said, day by day.

  • More

    Explore, with your illustrated map, the camp and Bo. Plus Findings, the journal, the reading, gratitude and every setting — from wherever you are.

What Essgefühl does not do

Awareness instead of control.

Most food apps count something and then tell you how well you did. Essgefühl counts none of it.

No

No calories

There is no field for them. What you ate is neither judged nor counted.

No

No points, no daily grade

No streak that punishes you, no score that drops. “Gave in” counts exactly as much as “didn’t”.

No

No diet program

No plans, no restrictions, no targets you can miss.

No

No account

No sign-up, no cloud, no advertising analytics. Your moments stay on your device.

Explore: an illustrated map with the camp, Bo and a whole-land view.
Explore

The camp

Bo is waiting by the fire.

You are unexplored territory. Every moment clears a little fog: Sleep Mountains, Stress Gorge, Routine Plains, Social Coast and Mood Forest make connections visible without judging them.

Explore shows an illustrated map, a whole-land view and a quieter night by the fire with Bo, your small expedition companion. Altitude stages celebrate consistency, never restriction.

From your moments

Described, never graded.

Patterns shows your week in words and the Atlas with drawings and findings for your landmarks. The Logbook beside it keeps your history with one mark per moment. Under Findings, read what your moments show, with their counts and time periods.

Essgefühl describes what you recorded — “Relaxed appeared in 4 of 9 moments” — and says in the same breath that this is not a diagnosis and not a cause. Moments you did not record are not included, and it says that too.

Seven short stages about noticing what you need, with reflections that stay on your device. The first stage is free — so you see what you are getting into before you decide.
