How to read the screens
Feelmo is a gentle daily companion for watching over the balance of your heart and mind. It isn't an app for "guessing your emotions." So you can use it without memorizing any difficult numbers, the screens are kept to the bare minimum. What you'll touch every day is five tabs (Home, Mood Log, Breathing, Trends, Wellbeing) and the Settings that support them. On this page, we'll walk you slowly through what you can see on each screen, and how to read it.
Start with just this
You don't need to remember everything. In the morning, open Home and meet today's companion. That alone is a perfectly good start. Once you've gotten used to it, feel free to peek into whichever tab catches your eye.
🏠 Home
This is the screen you open first thing in the morning. It gathers, at a glance, the balance your body went through from last night into this morning.
- Balance gauge … Shows your current balance level (Balance score, 0–100) as a circular gauge. Around it, a soft aura adds how far you are from your own baseline (your usual self). What matters isn't comparing yourself to others, but seeing whether you're more settled or more unsettled than your usual self.
- The 6 companions … Rather than the score number itself, we place beside it the face of the companion closest to your current balance. Whether today is closest to Genki (energized), Odayaka (calm), Futsuu (steady), Fuan (anxious), Panku (overloaded), or Tsukare (worn out) — simply receiving that is enough (→ The 6 companions).
- Vital signs card … Lines up the latest signs your Apple Watch read — HRV, resting heart rate, and sleep. These are "everyday signs," not a diagnosis. (More detailed vitals such as wrist temperature, respiratory rate, and blood oxygen (SpO₂) live on the Well-being tab.)
- Stress level … A rough guide to how tense today has been.
- Greeting / balance-change … A word for the day, plus a small window onto how your balance has moved over the last several days. (The colorful look-back at your recent moods lives on the Trends tab and in your Heart Record, not on Home.)
- Weather & pressure card … Turn on "Tomorrow's pressure forecast" in Settings (location permission required) and you can see today and tomorrow's air pressure, today's weather and temperature, and a several-day outlook — all for free — as a heads-up for how you feel. Only the day-before "pressure is about to drop" heads-up notification is Feelmo Premium.
Beyond this is the Feelmo Premium view, for those who'd like to look more deeply (even on the free plan, you can still see today's balance clearly).
- Tomorrow's condition forecast (Premium) … Quietly estimates how easily you might settle tomorrow, based on your past tendencies. Inside it sits your weekday tendency calendar, a soft band drawn from your day-of-week rhythm and your own baseline.
Don't worry too much about the numbers
The score isn't a "grade." A low day doesn't mean you've done something wrong — it's just a sign that you're a little unsettled. To start, simply receiving "which companion is today" means you're already using it well enough.

♡ Mood Log
A screen where your days are recorded automatically and gathered for you to look back on. Every day you wear the watch, that day's balance and mood are set down on their own — nothing to choose or type.
- Today's mood … The mood Feelmo read for the day, already in place. It's auto-judged and final, but you can add a short note to the day.
- Calendar … See a whole month of feelings at a glance, in color.
- Mood distribution … See at a glance which feelings were most common over the period, as a bar chart.
- Weekly / monthly / yearly reviews … Switch the span to revisit the flow. Weekly, monthly, and yearly are all free.
- Recent logs … Your most recent records, newest first.
As your records build up, the balance gauge and your feelings gradually get held up against one another. The more days you gather, the more "what settling looks like for you" comes into view — and because the record keeps itself, you're free to add a word only when the mood strikes.
Long-term trends are separate
The Mood Log's weekly, monthly, and yearly reviews are all free. The long-term charts on the Trends tab (balance, autonomic balance, and HRV over weeks to months) are a separate, Feelmo Premium feature — that's what opens the Premium guidance (Paywall) when tapped.
For more, see Using the Mood Log more deeply.
🌈 Breathing
Guided breathing sessions you can choose to match your state. Breathing is one of the few handholds that can move your autonomic nervous system right here, right now.
- Calm down / lift up … When you want to quiet down, breathing with a slow, long exhale. When you want to feel crisp and alert, breathing that picks up the tempo. Choose according to your aim.
- Breathing pacer … Following the circle on screen, you bring your inhale and exhale into rhythm, at your own pace.
It's fine if it doesn't go perfectly. Rather than counting or correctness, treasure the sense of "ah, I loosened up a little just now."
Does it work for you, too?
"Is this breathing really helping my own balance?" — Which habits help you (Premium), the habit-impact analysis in the Kokoro Report's "This week's insight," answers that question using only your own records. The one you compare against isn't the world's average — it's your usual self.
For more, see Breathing sessions. You can also try it for just 30 seconds on the web: feelmo.jp/#breathe
📈 Trends
A screen for tracing how your balance, autonomic balance, and HRV shift over time — from a week out to a whole year. It's a place to look at yourself as a flow, rather than as one day's point.
- Balance over time … Follow, as a line, how your balance level has moved over days to months.
- Autonomic balance & HRV … See the tendencies of your autonomic balance — recovery, activation, and variability — laid over the shifts in your HRV.
- Switching the span … Switch the view by week, month, and year.
- A Feelmo Premium feature … The entire Trends tab is part of Feelmo Premium. Without Premium, you don't see your own real trends here — only labeled sample previews that show what the screen looks like. Your real week, month, and year trends all open with Feelmo Premium.
The trick is to watch the gentle slope, without getting swept up in the day-to-day ups and downs.
🌙 Wellbeing
A screen that automatically records sleep, sunlight, activity, and more, and gently watches over their relationship with your balance. It brings your vital signs and small daily habits together into a single timeline.
- Today's mini-cards … Sun exposure, steps, and respiratory rate line up as that day's mini-cards, and each opens its detailed screen with a tap. Sleep sits on its own card, and a vital-signs panel (sleep, resting heart rate, wrist temperature, respiratory rate, and blood oxygen) rounds it out.
- Autonomic trajectory … Gently watches over the tilt of your autonomic state — recovery, activation, and variability.
- Water (water & caffeine) … A record of the water and caffeine you took that day.
- How your habits are holding up … The flow of the habits you've kept, viewable back across past days (today and yesterday are free; further back is Feelmo Premium).
- Sleep details … See last night's sleep in detail. Weekly and monthly are free; the yearly (12-month) view is Feelmo Premium (→ How to read your sleep).
- Sun exposure details … See how much light you've taken in. Today and this week are free; going back to days before yesterday is Feelmo Premium (there are no monthly or yearly summary views).
- A way back to past days … A doorway to look back over days gone by.
The "actions that help you settle" differ from person to person. That's exactly why, rather than imposing an average right answer, we gently pick out from your own records the habits that seem to be working for you.
For more, see Wellbeing and habits.
⚙️ Settings
A screen that brings together notifications, permissions, appearance, privacy, Premium, and more. It isn't a tab — you open it from the gear icon in the top right of each screen.
- Notifications … Turn reminders and notifications on and off (→ Notifications and reminders).
- Health integration … Manage access to HealthKit (→ Apple Watch and HealthKit). Feelmo reads HRV, heart rate, sleep, and more on your device. Because the wrist is sensitive to body movement, seated on-demand measurement or while you sleep is the most stable.
- Appearance … Settings for widgets, language, and the like.
- Privacy & data … App Lock (Face ID / Touch ID / passcode), Privacy Mode (a cover over the screen in app snapshots), and deleting your data (→ Data and privacy). HRV-derived data and scores, as a rule, stay on your device, with no automatic upload. You can delete them anytime.
- Feelmo Premium … Check your subscription status, and manage or change your plan.
What's inside the balance level
For reference, the balance level (Balance score) on the Home gauge is calculated from the HRV (heart rate variability — the fluctuation of R-R intervals) derived from your Apple Watch. It summarizes multiple HRV-derived clues, measurement quality, and movement from your own baseline. Lower means more unsettled, higher is a sign of being more settled — but, again, the way to read it is by the difference from your usual self, not from other people.
An important note
Feelmo is not a medical device. It isn't intended to diagnose or treat any illness, and the scores and signs it displays do not establish your health status. If you have symptoms that concern you, please consult a medical professional.
If you're unsure
The screens are designed to be minimal. To start, just open Home and begin by meeting today's companion.
