## What is Mentalyze?

Knowledge is the key to changing your life. 

Mentalyze allows you to plot out your entire year one pixel a day. Color each pixel according to the mood that best represents that day. At the end of the year, the entire chart will be filled and you can either reflect on a certain day or month or begin to notice patterns concerning your mood.

Reflect and answer questions such as: how many days a year am I happy? How many bad days do I experience? Is it linked with the weather, work, health? 

Most importantly, how can you make your year better? Mentalyze makes it significantly easier to learn more about your patterns and habits.

### 4/5 — Pretty good mental health app

*2024-03-13*

If you’re just looking to keep track of your moods and healthy habits, this is a cute free app with an easy user interface. 

i wish you could see all your streaks on the monthly calendar at the same time, and i wish you could edit streaks from the past so it’s more accurate and not just an “i opened this app today!!!” counter but they do their best

### 5/5 — Lucy

I love this it’s the best please write back ♥️♐️❤️‍🩹❤️

### 1/5 — I’m so sad

*2021-05-19*

All of my daily moods were deleted :( I thought it was a glitch and waited a couple days but no they’re really gone :( I had moods for the past 2 years all gone within a day and I don’t know what to do now :(

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear that you lost all of your data. It appears as though you’re using the latest version of the app. This version automatically backs up all of your data within iCloud and only you have access to it. This means your calendar will be synced across all of your devices including new phones. If the app is uninstalled, app data will be deleted from the device. Although it is deleted from the physical device, that same data should be kept within iCloud. Meaning it should be very hard to lose data if you had the latest version before your data loss. For help further help or more details email help@mcfarlanesoftware.com.

### 5/5 — Notification Problem!

*2020-01-17*

Hi! I love this app so much, it works very well and love keeping tracks of my moody days. I have a problem with setting a notification, when I click to notify me to set my mood it crashes.. Can you please fix that? I've redownloaded, restarted and dome everything to get it working but it won't work. It just keeps on crashing. Now I do have few suggestions ( without paying! ) to add a custom mood and custom coloring mood, that'd be a really good feature to have. Especially if we wanna make our pixel board to look nice and colorful depending on the colors and the moods.

**Developer response:** I am glad to hear that you are enjoying the app! I am constantly working on new features, updates, fixes and I will fix this most recent bug as soon as possible. Feel free to email me with additional details and even feature requests at help@mcfarlanesoftware.com!

### 2/5 — is this a joke?

*2020-01-11*

app crashes every time i try setting the daily reminder
main screen is crowed and its weird that they squeezed everything in
cant make your own moods even though theirs are oddly specific and it makes you want to be able to make your mood for the day specific but their options dont really apply fully
literally cant find a way to get out of writing notes of the day

### 4/5 — really nice app!

*2019-07-01*

this app is really great! i have tried it today, and i already really enjoy it! though, the small little calendar overlaps the selections, which is a little annoying. i have an iPhone SE, so i believe that might be the problem. if you could fix that, then it would a five stars for me! ^^

### 5/5 — Great App !!!

### 5/5 — Great idea!

Really cool idea and executed very well.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!!

*2019-01-15*

This app is super helpful, it’s like a journal in your pocket that can keep track of your moods through out the year. In one glance you can see how you’ve been doing emotionally and write down notes about what’s going on. Somebody find black twitter and tell them that a black man made a mental health app!
