LocalMood

LocalMood is a mood journal that saves with one tap and never leaves your phone. Pick any of eight tags if something is behind how you feel, and write a line if you want to, or do not. Then tap one of five faces, from very low to great, and the entry is saved. That is the whole entry, and it is short on purpose, because the journal you keep is the one that does not ask much of you. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Log how you feel on a five point scale, each point with a face and a plain word: very low, low, OK, good, great. - Tag an entry with what is behind it: work, family, sleep, exercise, food, stress, social or gratitude. Use several, or none. - Add a note in your own words when there is something worth writing down. - Log more than once a day if your mood moves. Every entry from the last seven days counts toward your average. - Watch your seven day rolling average, the plain mean of those entries. - Keep a logging streak, counted back day by day from today. - Scroll back through your 50 most recent entries, each with its face, its date and your note. - Delete any entry in that list, with a confirmation so you never lose one by accident. - Work in dark or light, following whatever your phone is set to. AT A GLANCE The top of the screen shows your streak in large type, and under it the average of your entries from the last seven days, with each face scoring one to five. Both update the moment you tap a face. WHO IT IS FOR Anyone who has been asked to keep a mood diary and could not face a page of questions every night. Anyone who wants a seven day average of how they have been without filling in a questionnaire. Anyone who wants a private record without an account attached to it. PRIVACY LocalMood makes no network requests. There is no account, no sign up, no cloud, no analytics and no advertising. Every entry is written to your own device and stays there. Nothing is ever uploaded, and there is nothing to delete anywhere else. LocalMood is a personal journal. It is not a medical or mental health service, it does not assess or treat anything, and it is not a substitute for talking to a professional.
