MIRA — Video Journaling App for Emotional Wellness & Mood Tracking

Best video journaling app for emotional wellness. Daily reflection with AI transcription, mood tracking, mindfulness habits, and privacy-first design.

Someone suggested trying FlowDeck as an alternative to SweetPad for iOS development in Cursor or Visual Studio Code. It seems promising so far. I’ll give it a try over the next few days: flowdeck.studio.

I couldn’t agree more. When I hear top CEOs say: we will run everything with AI and no longer need SWE, I laugh. Essentially I see it as a super fast and tireless typist with me being the architect and brain doing the actual thinking. But that’s may just be my experience.

I have a few widgets on my phone that I created for different apps. I enjoy journaling, and this one is my favorite so far.

Give it a try: apple.co/3V8rkho

I’ve been experimenting with Apple Intelligence in MIRA lately.

The goal: to make journaling feel even more personal.
Soon, MIRA will be able to give you inspiring prompts that fit your current mood or focus, powered by AI.

I’m really excited about where this is heading.

I’ve been loving having the new MIRA Journal widget on my Home Screen.

See today’s journaling prompt, your consistency, and your personal best streak, all at a glance.

✨ A gentle reminder to slow down and reflect.

Smartphone screenshot of a journal app. The screen is black with purple text and icons. The top of the screen has a purple icon and the word "MIRA." Below that is the title "MIRA Journal" in white text. Underneath the title is a line of gray text that reads "See today's prompt and your progress, with quick access to capture new or revisit past reflections." Below that is a dark gray box with a purple border that reads "Today's Prompt: What made you smile today?" in white text. Below that is a purple icon with a smiley face and the word "Sensory" in white text. Below that is a purple button that reads "Respond." To the right of the dark gray box are three purple icons with white text. The first icon has a flame and the text "5 Active Days." The second icon has a crown and the text "12 Personal Best." The third icon has a calendar and the text "7 This Week." At the bottom of the screen is a purple button that reads "Add Widget."

I’ve been working recently into integrating Apple Intelligence into MIRA, my video-first journaling app. Now that I am more familiar with the API, it’s great to see more support for the same but on a larger scale.

For those building apps with Foundation Models framework or interfacing with other LLMs to provide insights to users, do you collect any kind of telemetry for further improvements? I quite like how Bevel Health does it.

A mobile phone screen displays a message about managing energy levels despite poor sleep quality. The text highlights the user's Energy Bank at 40%, which is above the typical baseline, and suggests mindfulness to maintain energy. There are also prompts for further questions about strain.

SwiftAI is a pretty cool project. I haven’t used it yet but from the documentation, it looks good for a snappy integration if you were already using Foundation Models: github.com/mi12labs/Swi...

MIRA already helps people reflect. But more than that, it has a lot of ready-to-use integration points I can take advantage of.
Feels like the perfect way to explore Apple Intelligence meaningfully.

I'm super-excited to start building. 🌿

Then this morning, while making my usual morning espresso, it hit me like a truck.
The first step doesn’t have to be big or complex.

It can be simple.
And the simplest place to start isn’t Glu Sight. It’s MIRA, my journaling app.

Sometimes we think too much about how to start.
Last week I spent days creating a roadmap on how to bring Apple Intelligence into @glusight.app.

I wanted it to feel thoughtful, mindful, and a smooth UX. Not just an AI integration for the sake of it.

Hahaha! For a brief moment after I got the notification, I thought my app became sentient. It’s a beautiful name indeed. :)

slowbrewed.studio @creativewith.in · 11d

I started building MIRA because I wanted to journal more often but struggled to stay consistent.

Now I capture short video reflections that feel natural and effortless.

Its mood-tracker has also become a simple way to understand how I’ve been feeling over time.

Screenshot of a mobile app page for "My Diary - Video Journal." The app features a purple and black color scheme with three main sections. The left section shows a video thumbnail with the text "Reflect with ease" and "Capture meaningful moments." The middle section displays a list of journal entries with details like "Your Growth Path" and "Your Progress Story." The right section includes a mood chart labeled "Understand your feelings" and a mood timeline. The top of the page has the app name, categories, and a "Get" button for in-app purchases. The bottom has navigation icons for the app.

Ever tried #journaling but couldn’t stay consistent?

That’s exactly why I built MIRA: a video-first journaling app that makes reflection feel effortless.

Record short videos, track your moods, and see your growth unfold over time.

It’s incredible. For me it’s one of the best games I’ve played this year.

Glyppo • your GLP-1 sidekick

Screenshot of an app store page for a GLP-1 and weight tracker app. The app icon features a stylized face in orange and black. The page highlights features like "Never miss a GLP-1 dose," "Log doses in seconds," and "Review your history." Screenshots show the app interface with dose scheduling, symptom tracking, and recent activity logs. The background is a gradient of pink and blue.

I just wrapped up my submission for the @revenuecat.com #Shipaton 🎉

I built two apps. Had to make a choice as to which I thought would make sense to submit. Ended up deciding on Glyppo.

Excited to see what everyone else is shipping!
