MyDays is a daily mood journal built for one calm check-in, not endless notes. Log how you feel each day, add what mattered (activities, sleep, gratitude, and more), then open Stats to see trends, tag insights, and what relates to your mood over time. ONE ENTRY A DAY A simple rhythm: open the app, rate your mood, optionally fill in the rest. Your calendar colors by mood so the month reads at a glance. TRACK WHAT MATTERS TO YOU Mood is always required. Everything else is optional. Start from a template (Balanced, Minimal, Health, Mindful, or Social), then turn fields on or off and reorder them to match your life. SEE WHAT SHAPES HOW YOU FEEL Charts show how mood moved. Correlations and next-day effects help you notice links (for example sleep or who you were with) without turning your journal into a spreadsheet. A week digest sums it up in plain language. OPTIONAL HEALTH & WEATHER Pull sleep, steps, and activity from Apple Health when you want them. Suggest today’s weather for your entry. Both stay optional. GENTLE REMINDERS Get a nudge only if today’s entry is still empty, plus an easy catch-up for yesterday. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your journal lives on your iPhone. No account required to start tracking. MyDays is for anyone who wants a lightweight mood tracker with real insight: a daily journal that stays short, custom, and useful.
