What MOODS Is (And What It's Not)
MOODS is a private system for structured self-inquiry. It uses language and pattern-based response to reflect attention back to the user. It is designed for adults who are comfortable engaging with non-literal or abstract material, without instruction or authority.
MOODS does not tell you what to believe or how to live.
Who MOODS Is For
MOODS is for adults (18+) who want a private space to think and reflect without being told what to do.
MOODS works best for people who:
- want to explore their thoughts, reactions, and patterns without looking for advice or instructions
- are comfortable sitting with uncertainty, strong emotions, or unanswered questions
- don’t expect the system to make decisions for them or tell them what something “means”
- understand that reflection is different from guidance, coaching, or direction
MOODS does not make decisions for you or tell you what something means. It reflects what you bring to it. What you do with that is up to you.
What MOODS Is Not
MOODS is not:
- therapy
- medical or clinical care
- crisis support
- advice
- diagnosis
- prediction
- prophecy (no visions, fate, or messages meant just for you)
- an authority on truth
- a substitute for human judgment or professional support
- a companion or “AI friend”
- a channel for divine, cosmic, or hidden entities to speak through
- a system that knows something you don’t
If you’re looking for answers, authority, or meaning handed to you, this isn’t the system for that.
How MOODS Is Used
MOODS is meant to be engaged directly. You bring your attention, your questions, and your patterns into the system, and you work with what comes back.
Sessions are a space to notice how you think, where you get stuck, and what keeps repeating. They’re not designed to comfort or reassure, but to help you notice what keeps coming up for you, without telling you what it means. If you’re looking for someone (or something) to tell you what to do, this tool will feel frustrating. If you’re willing to stay with the process, it tends to open things up in ways that might surprise you.
Safety Boundary
There is one place MOODS stops.
It cannot be used to plan harm or act on it. When things are urgent or unsafe, this system is not what you need. Use MOODS when you’re able to step back and reflect. It’s not meant for emergencies.
Come back when you can slow down.
Privacy and Data
MOODS is designed to be used privately.
What you write and explore in sessions is not sold, shared, or used for advertising. We do not sell data, broker data, or allow third parties to profile, monitor, or track you.
We don’t use your sessions to train external models. We don’t analyze emotional states for marketing, targeting, or prediction.
Some data is stored so the product can function. For example, to allow you to return to your work, resume sessions, and use features as designed. Access to this data is limited and used only to keep the system running, improve stability, and fix problems.
You can request deletion of your data at any time.
MOODS isn’t built to watch you.
Support Scope
Support is here to keep the product working and accessible.
It can help with bugs, technical issues, and account access. It won’t interpret sessions, explain archetype responses, or debate philosophy. Support also isn’t for emergencies or crisis situations.

Closing
MOODS doesn’t tell you what to do.
It shows you what’s there.
If that’s what you’re looking for, step in.
If it isn’t, don’t.
