InnerOS vs IFS Guide

An AI guide called Sunny you work with by voice or text, alongside a manual parts mapper, a library of educational video on the IFS model, and live facilitated workshops.

IFS Guide Strengths

  • Manual parts mapper — you place parts and their relationships yourself
  • A library of parts you build up over time
  • Educational video library on the IFS model
  • Live workshops with real facilitators
  • Available on iOS, Android and web

IFS Guide Limitations

  • Built around one guide walking you through the protocol
  • Aimed at learning and mapping rather than resolving a specific decision

The Verdict

IFS Guide is a learning-and-mapping tool with an AI guide attached, and it is the strongest option here if you want to see your system drawn out. InnerOS is narrower: competing parts, given voices, working one decision to a next step.

When to Choose InnerOS

If you want to see your system laid out and learn the model, IFS Guide is genuinely the better tool and its manual mapper has no equivalent in InnerOS. Come to us when the problem is not understanding your parts but getting them to agree on something.

Common Questions

Does InnerOS have a parts map like IFS Guide?

No. IFS Guide lets you draw your inner system by hand and that is one of its best features. InnerOS takes a different route: instead of mapping the parts, it gives them voices and lets them talk about your actual situation. If a visual map is what you want, IFS Guide is the better choice.

Which is better for learning IFS?

IFS Guide. It ships an educational video library and runs live workshops with facilitators, which InnerOS does not. InnerOS assumes you want to use the idea rather than study it.
