PARQS Compass is a self-guided reflection app created by award-winning author Elaina Kelly Smith to help adults interrupt autopilot, hear their own answers, and build greater trust in their judgment.
The app brings the PARQS™ framework—Preferences, Awareness, Right Action, Questions, and Self-Acceptance—into practical, in-the-moment tools people can use when they are overthinking, responding automatically, unsure what they want, navigating a decision, or trying to act in a way that better reflects their values.
PARQS is supported by a growing body of published work, including Changing Course Gracefully: A Strategic Guide to Building Foundational Self-Trust, CHOICE, and companion resources. Smith’s books and related work have received independent recognition from Kirkus Reviews, BookLife, Readers’ Favorite, Literary Titan, and the Southern California Book Festival. This gives partners a framework with an established publishing foundation, independent editorial visibility, and a body of work they can explore before deciding whether it fits their audience.
PARQS Compass extends that work into an interactive mobile experience.
PARQS Compass includes:
- Guided PARQS practices and grounding tools
- Help Me Choose, the Of Course self-acceptance practice
- Private on-device journaling, printable journal entries
- A Welcome video, and short audio guides with readable transcripts.
New users can begin with 3 journal entries and 2 grounding practices free, giving them an opportunity to experience PARQS before deciding whether Annual or Lifetime Access fits them.
PARQS Compass is publicly available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.
