About How Now: Advice for your mood
How are you, right now? Most mood apps hand you a slider from sad to happy. But feelings don't live on a single line. How Now gives you a small, honest grid — two directions, energy and pleasantness — and you place one dot for exactly where you are in this moment. Then you get one thing. Not a feed, not a score — a single, plainly-worded card of advice for the state you're actually in. Something you can read in a breath and carry with you. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • A grid, not a slider. "Tired but content" and "wired but anxious" are real, different places to be — and How Now respects that. • The mood becomes the screen. A soft, living gradient re-tunes its color to whatever you pick. The feeling you chose is the thing you're looking at. • One card at a time. For your state, you get a single piece of advice — paraphrased in plain language from real psychology books and research. You read it, you close the app. That's the whole idea. • Calm by design. Serif headlines, warm dark palette, generous space. Closer to a good notebook than to a productivity tool. No streaks, no guilt, no numbers to chase. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the app and mark how you feel now on the grid. 2. Get a short, human piece of advice for that exact state. 3. Come back whenever you want to check in. That's it. HOW NOW PLUS Your first 14 days include full Plus — no card required, nothing charged. After that the app continues on a free plan; your entries stay with you, and nothing is charged automatically. If you'd like Plus later, you can choose it yourself. A GENTLE NOTE How Now is a tool for reflection and self-care. It is not therapy and not medical advice, and it isn't a substitute for professional help. If you're going through something serious, please reach out to a qualified professional.
