Great free and functional mood journal

I really like this mood journal app. You can select from different moods, add a journal entry and data about how you’re feeling physically and connect to other data like health, weather, and sleep. There are also videos and exercises for breathing, meditation, etc. I like that it shows charts with trends by week or month, although I wish there was more flexibility in the trending displays and a way to share the overview analysis with someone rather than just sharing an export of the entries or just an in the moment notification. Overall it’s hard to beat that it’s totally free and no ads!

Beautifully designed

Love this app, it takes something as uncomfortable as tracking emotions and makes it so pleasurable 💖

I’m discovering my real feelings and I’m more positive and balanced than I realized!

What an invaluable tool I’ve just started using. It’s amazing how identifying the specifics and subtleties has revealed I am really more hopeful, positive and balanced than I realized. What a miracle!!

this app is rly great for emotions and tracking them😁😁😁

Finally! I found it.

Finally I found an app that lets me track my moods and prompts me to write in depth journal entries. The AI asks very reflective questions that help elicit more answers from me. It allows me to go a lot deeper than I would if I just wrote about the topic.
