HOW GAUGES WORK
Share a feeling
at a glance.
Set a dial on your phone. The meter on your desk moves to match — and turning its knob updates your phone.
A gauge is a dial with a meaning you choose: how you’re feeling, a date you’re counting down to, or anything you name yourself. Start free in the app. Add the desk meter when you want it in the room.
- Free web & Android app
- No hardware needed to start
- Desk meter expected January 2027
The app works fully on its own. The Mood Meter desk meter is a preorder request: no payment today, and we confirm the final details with you before payment.
HOW IT WORKS
One dial.
On your phone and on your desk.
The app and the meter show the same reading. Change it in either place and the other one follows.
- Phone → meter. Move your dial in the app, from anywhere. The needle on your desk follows within seconds.
- Meter → phone. Turn the knob on the meter. The same reading shows up in your app.

QUESTIONS
Good questions,
plain answers.
Do I need the meter?
No. The app is free and works fully on its own — in your browser at control.gaugegear.us or on Android. The desk meter is an optional way to give a dial a place in the room.
How does the meter connect?
Over Wi-Fi. Your phone doesn’t need to be next to it: the app can change the meter from anywhere.
Can I change it when I’m away?
Yes. Move your dial in the app wherever you are, and the meter at home moves to match.
What does the knob do?
It changes the dial in person. Turn the knob, the needle moves, and the same reading shows up in the app on your phone.
How fast does it update?
Within seconds, in either direction — app to meter, or knob to app.
What if the Wi-Fi drops?
The meter is designed to keep its last setting and, once it reconnects, catch up to the newest reading rather than replaying every change in between. Final details of offline behavior will be confirmed before shipping.
Does it hang on the wall?
Not this one. The Mood Meter stands on a desk or table and is about 12 inches wide and 6 inches tall (30 × 15 cm). A wall-mounted version is planned for the future.
Does a green dial mean yes?
No. It’s an invitation, never an expectation. A dial never replaces a conversation or consent, and anyone can change their dial — and their mind — at any time.
When can I get one, and how much is it?
The Mood Meter desk meter is $199 and expected in January 2027. Today you send a preorder request — no payment is taken, and we confirm the final details with you before payment. Other gauge designs: pricing confirmed with your preorder request.
What about privacy?
How we handle your account and your readings is explained in our privacy policy.
