Sam Central
Available soon on the App Store. Private by design.
Privacy PolicySam Central is a calm, daily check‑in journal that helps you understand how your head and heart are doing—and why. In less than a minute each day, you record a simple 1–5 mood rating, select emotions that fit, and mark the “Buckets” you filled—practical life areas like Fitness, Friends, Finances, Self‑Care, and more. Buckets keep you on track; they turn vague good intentions into concrete, repeatable behaviors. Each check‑in becomes a quick audit of what actually happened today.
Behind the scenes, Sam Central converts your inputs into a smart Life Score (0–100) that reflects how consistently you’re showing up for yourself. Over time, this single number makes trends obvious. When the score rises you can see what’s working; when it dips you have a map of which buckets or emotions changed. You can also add a short reflection to capture details you’ll appreciate later.
The Analytics tab transforms your history into insights you can act on. A sleek, tappable calendar shades each day by either Buckets filled or Mood (your choice), so patterns are visible at a glance. Tap a past day to view or edit its entry; tap an empty day to backfill it when you have time (only saved if you complete the flow). A Life Score trend chart shows progress across the selected range and highlights the average with a subtle dashed line. Category Averages (your bucket ratings) display as clean maroon bars so you can tell which areas are driving your mood. A concise Insights card calls out your best day of the week, current streak, and other small nudges that help you stay consistent.
Everything is private by design. There’s no account, no ads, and no tracking. Your data lives on your device and—if you enable iCloud—syncs through your own iCloud account via CloudKit, so your entries follow you securely across devices. Location is optional and used only to tag a check‑in with your city. Time‑sensitive reminders can gently prompt you to reflect at the end of the day, and you can customize which buckets and emotions matter most to you. Dark mode won’t change your carefully crafted light aesthetic, and the interface stays portrait and uncluttered so it always feels calm.
Sam Central is intentionally simple: a daily pause that builds awareness, a few taps that reinforce the habits you care about, and clear visuals that make your progress unmistakable. Whether you’re navigating a busy season, starting a new routine, or just want an honest record of your days, the app meets you where you are—quietly helping you notice what makes a good day good, and repeat it. Made with love for Samantha and thoughtfully expanded for anyone who wants to feel better on purpose, Sam Central turns small moments of attention into a life you can recognize and trust.
