## What is MoodWell?

MoodWell mood tracker enables you to keep a private journal of how different activities and changes in weather effect your mental health. Use this super-simple to use diary to know which activities make you feel your absolute best and which ones might be negatively impacting you.

We recommend logging your mood at least once but preferably 2-3 times a day. You should at least log any drastic changes in your mood and factors which make you feel that way. 

Choose from a list of color coded moods and attach optional positive or negative emotions you might be feeling. Add activities on what you have been up to. Describe the weather if you like. You can also add photos and notes to the logs. 

MoodWell uses the recorded moods, activities and weather data to present interesting statistics on your mental health. The graphs and calendar show how your mood changes over a period of time. After logging a few times, you will get valuable insights like - which weekdays do you usually feel your best, which ones are the worst, which months of the year are your best and worst, which activities you do more often when you feel good and which ones make you feel not too good. Are you usually in a worse mood when it's cold and gloomy outside? Are you more energetic when it's sunny?

The color coded Year in Pixels chart shows you how you have felt on every single day throughout the year similar to an old school diary.

These insights will help you understand your mental health better. You can also use the search function to look for specific items - hastags can be used to make the search super powerful. For example:

#n will search for all logs with notes
#p will search for all logs with photos
#awful will search for all logs with awful mood
#exercise will search for all days when you worked out
#sunny will search for all days when it was sunny

MoodWell comes with:
- No ads, No subscriptions and No analytics - data stays on your device privately
- biometric (TouchID or FaceID) authentication to make your app private so only you can unlock it
- ability to create custom activities, emotions, weather tags and rename and remove existing ones (PRO feature)
- attach photos
- attach notes 
- daily, weekly, monthly and yearly charts
- reminders to never forgot to log
- exporting to both CSV and JSON. You can either do this from the settings page (scroll to the bottom > Export Data) or from the bottom graphs drawer's Save button.
- save the graphs as a photo directly from the app
- iCloud Sync: automatically syncs your mood logs, photos, notes, custom emotions/activities/weather/icons and reminders across all your devices which are signed in to the same iCloud account.
- Light and Dark mode. Settings for "Use system dark mode setting" and "Dark mode".
- Custom tint colour theme for the app! Variety of colour choices!
- custom icons for weather. Icons must be PNG format and preferably 100x100 resolution.
- customize the greetings and reminder notification greeting based on time - morning, afternoon, evening and night greetings.
- a new background everyday to keep the app looking fresh
- 10 Free and fully featured logs after which we hope you will buy a one-time small in app purchase to support future updates development and unlock unlimited logs

I offer an ad free, subscription free, tracker and analytics free and simple app for the absolute best experience for my users. If you are finding my app useful, please leave me a positive rating on the app store as that helps get the word out to others!

### 5/5 — The best one

*2025-07-22*

I’m using it every day since 2019.
Trying other apps from time to time, but this one feels the best. Very useful and on point.

### 5/5 — Great and worth it

*2025-07-07*

I was looking for an app where I could record my mood and emotional fluctuations during the day. I also wanted it to be able to track my moods over the period of a month, especially during hormonal times. All of the other apps I found require a monthly subscription which I was not prepared to pay. This app does literally everything I wanted to do. It’s simple it’s pretty and there is only a one off charge which is fantastic. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Such high potential,  but crashes lots NEEDS SOME BUGS FIXED

*2024-07-25*

LOVE the app, and is especially useful for bipolar individuals! Unfortunately it crashes frequently, especially when trying to edit past posts, particularly if attempting to change emotions and or selected picture(s). Also I don’t really understand the filter function of activities below the streaks. Likes: ❤️ Search feature! ⭐️ Best days and month feature for identifying behavioural and seasonal changes ⭐️Can create multiple entries a day - Dark mode option - Ability to add multiple pictures to entries - No subscriptions just a one time fee for premium (😩but there really isn’t a free version due to the 5 entry limit) Suggested improvements: - Being able to see the frequency of emotions (with an editable timeframe) would be extremely helpful— perhaps simply adding a tally on the blue emotion buttons in the summary window (below the all activities section)? And/ or: ⭐️Listing emotions alongside the weather and activities buttons under the moods section (below the pixels graph) would be especially helpful, as that way we can identify what emotions make us good, average, bad etc besides the weather and activities factors already integrated into the mood sections. - Customized rating scales for mood, whether just being able to customize colors, and or number of (1-10 rating, good/bad/neutral, etc.) - Alphabetize emotions and activities toggle (nice to be able to drag around the order though too!), even making the list dynamic with the frequency of use. - Adding weather factors to emotions in the same fashion that activities are listed, to further explore how factors like weather affects our emotions and hence overall mood.

### 5/5 — Amazing app, but...

*2024-01-02, version 21*

Would it be possible for you to fix the padding on the iPhone 15 Pro? The search bar clips the status bar and dynamic island :(

### 4/5 — Dommage qu’il manque le français

*2023-11-19*

Cette app est top pour le suivi d’humeur: humeur, émotions et notes permettent un suivi précis.
Dommage qu’elle ne soit pas traduite en français.

### 5/5 — Simply the Best

*2023-09-23*

After downloading what seems like every mood journaling App in the store at last I have found what can only be described as Simply the Best This app has everything a great mood tracking app should have Great UI Great Categories that you can add to Face ID lock Timeline which you can go back in time to add which is what ultimately I wanted NO subscription just a £5 buy fee frankly it should be more the great thought and work gone into this app iPhone and iPad App Great emotion icons Great mood charts layout easy to read and understand So glad I found this app Simply the Best Thanks please keep up the great work

### 1/5 — This is NOT FREE

*2023-07-12, version 21*

Touting this as free, and then having the screen pop up and tell you you have a few more free logins is dishonest. Put the pricing right up front so people don’t waste any time.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-12-02*

I can't say enough about this app. It's fabulous! I love how it's laid out. It's super user-friendly & colorful & FUN! 
The data is compiled nicely with colorful graphs & I love how I can add or remove anything I want to. Im so glad I found this app it's so incredibly helpful to learn about yourself! HAPPY PAID SUBSCRIBER😃

### 5/5 — Fantastic and fully customizable!

*2022-09-15*

So many apps don’t allow for the customization that this one does and that makes them just not work well if you’re trying to really track and make it personal and meaningful. This one is perfect! I was able to completely change the “what’s the weather” section to a list of things I can do to soothe or evaluate my thoughts, which was PERFECT for me! Tracking has brought awareness of my emotions, helped me see what’s causing them and having a list of things to do to soothe myself has made me a happier and healthier person who feels much safer in this crazy world!  Thank you!!  And I love the simple, clean and colorful design as well as all the insights from the many graphs!  Just wish there was an app for my watch too so I could use it even more!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind feedback. You can enable reminders in the app and add timed reminders which will send notifications on Apple Watch too where you can respond from.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-08-20*

Best mood tracker I’ve found. Really easy to use, and I love that I can look at the chart and notice my high or low days and click them to see the notes, etc. it’s a great way to look for triggers and trends.

My only complaint is I wish I could change the names of the 5 moods. I’m tracking for bipolar and I’m using “great” to represent mania. Not really a huge problem but it would be nice.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind feedback. I will add a feature to customize the name of the moods.
