## What is MoodLight?

How are you, really?

MoodLight is a 30-second mood check-in that turns your week into a colored gradient. No 1-10 scale. No clinical questions. No streaks to break. Just a quiet daily moment of honesty with yourself.

— FIVE ORBS. THIRTY SECONDS.
Tap calm, bright, heavy, off, or numb. Add an optional one-line note. Done.

— YOUR WEEK, IN COLOR.
See your mood as a beautiful gradient — no charts, no scores. The visual itself tells the story.

— SHARE WHAT YOU FEEL
Export your week or month as a soft, aesthetic mood card. Share it on TikTok, Instagram, or save it for yourself.

— BRING IT TO THERAPY
Your mood map is a 30-second answer to "how have you been feeling?" Save your therapist real time.

— PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No bank login. No account. No cloud. Your check-ins live only on your device.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-18

Your day rarely holds one mood — so MoodLight stopped pretending it did.

MORE THAN ONE MOMENT A DAY
Check in as often as your day changes. Every moment is kept, never overwritten.
• Today's moments now sit under the orb on Home, each with the time you logged it
• A day that swung shows as bands in the week strip instead of one flat colour
• Counts are moments now, not just days — nothing you logged disappears

TODAY, REFLECTED (PLUS)
A sentence or two about how today actually moved between its moments. Warm, never clinical, never advice. Only mood names are ever sent — your notes never leave your device.

YOUR RHYTHM
A quiet look at when you tend to check in: morning, afternoon, evening or night. Just when, not how often.

THE MONTH AS A CALENDAR (PLUS)
The Mood Map's month view is now a calendar of orbs, so a Tuesday sits under the other Tuesdays and repeats become easy to see.

ALSO
• Rate MoodLight from Settings
• Reduce Motion is respected throughout
• Clearer, more honest wording on what Plus includes

Still no streaks, no scores, no account.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-06-03

This update is about seeing your story a little more clearly — and just as gently.

 • Widgets — today's mood and your week, right on your Home & Lock Screen
 • Journal — scroll back through every check-in and search your notes
 • Your year in color — watch a whole year unfold at a glance (Plus)
 • Gentle insights — quiet observations like when your brighter days tend to land (Plus)
 • More than one reminder a day — soft nudges that fit your rhythm (Plus)
 • A warmer, calmer first-time setup

Still no streaks. Still no scores. Just a quiet moment with yourself.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-05-12

• Daily reminders. Pick a time in Settings and we'll send one soft nudge at that hour.
• If you've already checked in today, we skip the reminder. No streaks to break, no guilt for missing a day.
• Small polish under the hood

### 1.0 — 2026-04-22

No release notes.
