Tools for feelings.
Seven small things that cost nothing: work out what you’re feeling, find the words for something you’ve never said, or put it somewhere private. No account, and nothing you type leaves your browser.
Today’s mood
One feeling a day, chosen for everyone.
It changes at midnight. Come back tomorrow and it’s something else.
Today
Calm
Free opening, then $1–$5 to go the rest of the way.
Take a moment — free
Before any of this is a shop.
You didn’t come here for nothing.
Maybe a link. Maybe a search at an hour you wouldn’t admit to. Either way, something moved you enough to open a page about feelings — and most people scroll straight past those.
Whatever today has been, you carried it. Nobody watched you do that. There was no moment where someone stopped and said: that was heavy, and you did it anyway. So let this be that moment. It’s small, and it’s from a stranger, but it counts.
You’re allowed to put it down for a minute. Not solve it. Not be positive about it. Just set it on the floor beside you and sit here, where nothing is being asked of you.
That was free, and there’s no catch attached to it — no email, nothing to close, nothing that follows you.
Want all of them?
One evening. Eight feelings.
The Complete Mood Pack
Every piece on the shelf, opened by one link. For the weeks where you can't name it in advance.
$9 once
$23 one at a time — save $14
- All eight feelings, one payment
- One link that opens every one
- New feelings added to the shelf, free
- Send any of them on, as often as you like
The pack isn’t buyable yet — there’s no checkout behind it, and a button that takes $9 and delivers nothing isn’t a button. Single feelings are open now.
Send a feeling
Sometimes words are easier to send than to say.
Pick a feeling, write one line, and send them the link. They open it and read your note first. Nothing is stored anywhere — your words live in the link itself.
How it works
Three taps, no account.
-
Pick a feeling
The one you’re actually in, or the one you want to be in. Read its opening free first.
-
Take the moment
One tap on Buy Me a Coffee — card or Apple Pay, a few seconds. Nothing to create, nothing to remember.
-
The feeling opens
Their redirect drops you straight onto your page. Bookmark it — the link stays live for you.
- No account required
- Opens the second you pay
- A tiny experience, not a subscription
- Paid through Buy Me a Coffee
Questions
The honest answers.
What exactly am I paying for?
One web page with one short piece of writing on it — around 200 words, set in its own colour and typography for that one feeling. It opens in your browser the second you pay. There's no file, no app, no account.
Two hundred words? That's short.
On purpose. These are meant to be read slowly, once, and felt — not skimmed and filed away. A piece that takes two minutes and actually moves you beats one that takes twenty and doesn't.
Can I read something before I pay?
Yes — every one of the eight. Each mood page opens with the real first lines of that piece, not a teaser written to sell it. Three other pieces are free in full.
Can I send one to someone else?
Yes, and it's the best thing here. You can send a feeling to someone before you've bought anything — pick the mood, write a line, and the link carries your note. Nothing is stored anywhere; the note lives in the link itself.
Do I need an account?
No. Payment happens on Buy Me a Coffee and their redirect takes you straight to the piece. Moodshop stores nothing about you and can't email you even if it wanted to.
Can I come back to it later?
Yes. The link stays live — bookmark it after you pay and reopen it whenever the feeling comes back around.
What if it doesn't do anything for me?
Then it cost you a dollar or two and you should tell me so. Message me through Buy Me a Coffee — refunds on a $2 piece of writing aren't worth anyone's afternoon, so I'd rather just send you a different one.
Who’s behind this
Who’s behind Moodshop
Moodshop is one person, not a company.
I chose these eight feelings, and I wrote them with AI in the loop — I’m telling you because you’d guess anyway, and I’d rather you hear it from me. What I did was decide what stays: nothing is on this shelf that I wouldn’t send to a friend having a bad night.
A dollar or two, on purpose. No account, no email list, nothing follows you after you close the tab.
