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.
