--:-- · one tap is the whole check-in

Just talk.
That's the whole check-in.

No form to open, no streak to protect, no account to make. Say how today went — Squirl sorts the rest, entirely on your phone.

the problem

Every tracker asks for exactly what's hard.

Typed forms need working memory you don't have left by evening. Streaks turn a missed day into a failure. Cloud accounts ask you to trust a server with your medication history. None of that is a character flaw — it's the wrong interface for this brain. Most people don't quit tracking. They quit the tracker.

how it works — three real steps

Speak. See it land. Understand the week.

01

Speak

Say how you're doing — under a minute, in your own words. No tagging, no fields to fill.

02

Extract

WhisperKit transcribes it on your phone. A 718-entry lexicon built for how ADHD minds actually talk pulls out mood, energy, focus, sleep, and medications — the same way, every time. No cloud call, ever.

03

See

Every check-in lands on a day, not a feed. Look back a week or a month and see what actually happened — no infinite scroll, nothing trying to keep you here.

the signal glyphs

Five things, read from how you actually talk.

Squirl doesn't guess with a black-box model. A fixed, on-device lexicon reads your words for five signals — mood, energy, focus, sleep, medication — and renders each as its own glyph, never an emoji face, never color alone.

718-entry lexicon · 32 categories · fully on-device · deterministic, not probabilistic

quiet by design

When a dose wears off, it just goes quiet.

The medication pill fills in as coverage runs down, with a soft pulse at onset. No red banner. No "you're late." When it's worn off, it simply stops being full — a quiet fact, not an alarm.

what you won't find here

  • No streaks, points, or badges — missing a day isn't a broken chain
  • No red alerts or "you're late" nagging on medication
  • No emoji faces standing in for how you actually feel
  • No account, no social feed, no one else sees your check-ins

nothing leaves your phone

There's nothing to leave with.

Transcription happens on your phone. Reading what you said happens on your phone. Storage happens on your phone. There's no account, no server, no cloud sync by default — no upload step, because there's nowhere to upload to.

grounded in — not just decorated with

Three ideas Squirl is built on.

  1. [1] Information tends to slip away the moment it leaves working memory — a well-documented pattern in ADHD. Saying it out loud catches it at the moment you need it.
  2. [2] Stating a plan out loud measurably improves follow-through — shown across 94 independent tests.
  3. [3] Putting a feeling into words is linked to a calmer, less reactive response to it.

Squirl draws on this research — it doesn't diagnose, treat, or replace a clinician. It's a wellness journal, not a medical device.
