chapter one

Meet Tochi, your mood companion

Tochi isn't a chart or a checklist — Tochi is company. Share how your day went, and this small hedgehog listens, reflects with you, and remembers what matters.

  • Morning reflections

    Begin the day with a soft check-in and a thought worth carrying.

  • Exchanges, not entries

    Tochi responds to what you write — a gentle back-and-forth instead of a blank page.

  • CBT-inspired prompts

    Guided questions help untangle heavy days, one thread at a time.

Every feeling becomes a little light

Log your mood in seconds. Each one becomes a glowing orb — and over the weeks, your days gather into constellations you can actually see.

Capture in seconds

No essay required. Tap how you feel, add a note if you like, and your orb takes its place in the day.

Fuse orbs into reflections

Related feelings can merge into deeper insights — small moments becoming a bigger picture of you.

See your patterns

Weekly stats and gentle insights show what lifts you and what weighs on you — without a single red warning.

a few questions

Frequently asked

Short answers, honestly given.

Is Tochi free to use?

Yes — Tochi is free to download and use on both iOS and Android. Optional premium themes and extras exist for those who want to support the little hedgehog.

What makes Life Chapters different from a normal diary?

A normal diary sorts your life by date. Life Chapters sort it by meaning — twelve illustrated books like Little Beginnings, Rain & Resilience, and Love That Stayed, each holding the entries that belong to that season of your life.

What exactly is a mood orb?

It's the fastest way to check in: your mood becomes a small glowing orb of color. Days fill with orbs, orbs reveal patterns, and related orbs can fuse into deeper reflections.

Will Tochi guilt me if I stop for a while?

Never. There are no streaks or scores anywhere in the app. Coming back after a month feels exactly like coming back after a day: Tochi is just glad to see you.

Is Tochi a replacement for therapy?

No. Tochi is a self-care and reflection companion — not a medical device and not a substitute for professional care. If you're struggling, please reach out to a qualified professional.
