BEFORE YOU BEGIN

SEVEN THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOUR FIRST CONVERSATION — AND EVERY ONE AFTER IT.

01
Show up honestly
The more genuine you are, the more you'll get out of it. Leave your ego at the door. Saying "I've been feeling stuck and I don't really know why" will take you somewhere real. "I want to improve myself" won't.
02
Be specific
Vague questions get vague reflections. Instead of "why do I get stressed?", try "I had a reaction yesterday that surprised me — can you help me understand what was underneath it?" The more grounded the question, the easier I can find you and meet you where you are.
03
Have a conversation, not a transaction
Your map grows as you talk, not from one quick question. If an answer doesn't quite land, push back — "that's not quite it, let me try again." Nothing is locked in. You're always in control of where the conversation goes.
04
Give context about where you are
Inner Mapping can't see your life — you have to bring it. "I'm in the middle of a difficult situation at work and I keep responding in a way I regret" gives it something real to work with. The more context, the more accurate the mirror.
05
Ask it to reflect, not just respond
Try asking "what pattern do you notice in what I've just told you?" or "what am I not seeing here?" That's where Inner Mapping does its best work — not in the answer, but in the reflection it surfaces.
06
Don't perform. Just talk.
There's no right way to show up to a session. You don't need to have it figured out or sound articulate. The messier and more honest your thinking, the more accurately your map gets built.
07
Want shorter answers? Just ask.
If you want a concise response, simply add "short answers" to the end of your question. Responses will stay brief without losing the substance.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER

Every conversation, you choose how it's kept. Save only keeps it in your chats — private, revisitable, but it doesn't touch your map. Save & map keeps it too, and pulls out what surfaced and adds it to your map as something to carry forward. Neither is right or wrong — some conversations are just for talking. Others are worth remembering.

Your map keeps this month's insights open, and quietly holds everything older as a small mark you can still tap and revisit — nothing is ever lost, it just gets out of the way. Every node can be dragged and arranged however feels right to you, and Settings gives you more control over the map — open or close everything at once, delete individual entries you'd rather let go of, or clear the whole map to start fresh.

The biggest unlock is remembering that Inner Mapping is a mirror, not an oracle. It can only reflect back what you bring to it. The more honestly you show up, the clearer the picture of your own mind becomes.

Inner Mapping is designed for adults. If a child or young person is using it, we recommend an adult stays with them.

Part of navigating this kind of conversation is knowing when you've reached your own natural stopping point. There's no right time — only yours.

ABOUT

Inner Mapping was built because I needed it — and I didn't know I needed it until I started using AI to have honest conversations I'd usually hide away from. No judgement, no repercussions, just honest, structured, unopinionated guidance.

But nothing held onto what I learned. Nothing showed me the patterns over time.

So I built something that does.

Inner Mapping isn't therapy. It's for people who wouldn't go to therapy — who would otherwise sit with it alone and gradually get worse. But it's also for anyone curious about how their own mind works. It fills that space without excluding anyone. A place to be honest, build self-awareness, and understand the patterns that shape you.

Built by someone who has been there. Designed for people who get it.

WHAT YOU'RE BUILDING

As you talk, your reflections quietly form a personal map — patterns, triggers, beliefs, and strengths you've surfaced over time. Nothing is ever lost; it grows with you.

When you're ready, you can turn it into a Support Map — your own honest insights, reframed as reminders, exported as artwork you can print and keep somewhere you'll actually see it.

Using a larger screen, such as a laptop or tablet, makes it easier to arrange your nodes and see the whole artwork on one page. To move your map across: on your phone go to My Map → Save → Back up everything, send that file to the larger device, then open Inner Mapping in its browser and choose Save → Restore from a backup. Carry on your sessions on whichever device you'll use most.

WHAT THIS ISN'T

Inner Mapping doesn't have the answers. It can't tell you where you are or what you need — only you can work that out, over time, through your own honesty. This isn't a diagnosis, a solution, or a substitute for professional support.

It's a reflection tool: a quiet space that helps you notice your own patterns, at your own pace. It won't be right for everyone, and that's okay — but feel free to come here to reflect on anything you need to offload.

YOUR DATA

Your map, conversations and notes are stored only on this device. When you send a message, the conversation is passed to the AI provider to generate a response. Messages are sent without your name, email or any account, so they aren't linked to you. If you use the microphone, your voice goes through your device's speech service to be turned into text, which may be processed by your device provider. Nothing is kept by Inner Mapping on any server.

Inner Mapping is designed for adults. If a child or young person is using it, we recommend an adult stays with them.
