Every high.
Every low.
One bear that gets it.
Bipolar Bear is a free, private mood journal and survival kit built for the swing of bipolar disorder. Track mood, energy, sleep and meds — then spot the patterns before they spot you.
Made for the way bipolar actually feels
Not another generic habit tracker. Every part is shaped around mood that moves.
Daily mood journal
Log mood, energy, sleep, medication and notes in seconds. Your day, captured before it slips.
Your survival kit
Coping strategies, crisis contacts and reasons to stay — built calm, ready for when it isn’t.
Spot your patterns
On-device insights link sleep, alcohol and more to how you feel the next day.
Encrypted on your device
Entries are scrambled on your device before they ever leave it. Turn on Private journal and not even we can read them. Without an account, your PIN encrypts them, if you choose to set one.
Streaks that stick
Gentle nudges and streaks help the habit hold on the days that are hardest to hold.
Never alone
Step into Bipolar Anonymous — an anonymous peer community — right from the app.
Your mind, in your pocket.
The everyday companion for living well with bipolar — quietly tracking the things that matter so you can see yourself clearly.
- ✓ Mood, energy, sleep, meds & free-text notes

Share your thoughts,
not your identity.
A separate, standalone app: an anonymous peer community for people living with bipolar. Pick a moniker, post what’s real, and find people who actually get it.
- ✓ No real name — just a moniker you choose
- ✓ Posts to relate to, not perform for
- ✓ Recognised across all your devices
- ✓ Your email is only ever stored as a hash
Built by James Markey MBE
Bipolar Bear began as one person’s tool for living with bipolar — and grew into a free app for everyone who needs one. James builds in the open and shares the whole journey, highs and lows included.
No investors. No data harvesting. Just a tool he wished existed.
