Cercle

What is Cercle?

Cercle is a social wellness app built around private emotional check-ins rather than public feeds. Users share their current mood with close friends, partners, or a small trusted circle. Friends can see those updates in the app or on a home-screen widget, making it easier to notice when someone is struggling or wants connection. It is useful for close friendships, long-distance relationships, families, and support circles that want lightweight emotional awareness without likes or followers.

How to use Cercle?

1. Install Cercle on an iPhone and create a private account.
2. Invite the close friends, partner, or trusted group members who should see mood updates.
3. Check in by choosing a current mood and optionally adding more context.
4. View friends' active mood updates in the app or on the home-screen widget.
5. Reach out when a friend signals that they need support, space, or connection.
