Built by someone who needed it

I built InGauge because I was tired of mental health apps that either told me to "just breathe" or wanted $300/month for actual help.

With a B.S. in Psychology and a B.S. in Political Science, I'd spent years studying how humans actually work—the neuroscience, the attachment theory, the emotional regulation research. But there was no app that put it all together in a way that felt like a real system for understanding yourself.

So I built one.

The 6 Gauges aren't arbitrary—they're based on established psychological frameworks. The Human Manual draws from 22+ academic textbooks. The AI tools are trained on therapeutic communication principles, not just general chat.

This isn't a meditation app with a subscription paywall. This isn't a chatbot pretending to be your therapist. This is a serious attempt to give people the tools to understand their own minds—tools that should have been taught in school but never were.

You are not broken. You are a system. And now you have a dashboard.
