How was today? Tap record and talk for up to a minute, in your own words and in your own language. VitaMood turns what you said into a short check-in you can read back. WHAT YOU GET - A transcript of what you said - A one-sentence summary of your day - A mood score from 1 to 10 - Your energy level: low, medium or high - Up to four tags, such as work, family, sleep, training or stress - Your check-ins saved on your device and in your iCloud backup, listed by day in Journal YOUR MOOD NEXT TO APPLE HEALTH (VITAMOOD PRO) VitaMood works with Apple Health. With Pro, and only if you allow it, VitaMood reads your sleep, heart rate variability, resting heart rate, steps, workouts, food energy, active energy, respiratory rate, mindful minutes and time in daylight (iOS 17 and later) from Apple Health. It only reads and never writes to Apple Health. Each measure is compared with your own usual range. - Next to each check-in: how today's measures compare with your usual range - The Insights tab: your mood over 5, 10, 15 or 30 days, your better and harder days, and links between your mood and your measures - Daily goals for sleep, steps, workouts, active energy, mindful minutes and time in daylight - A weekly report on your week - Export your week as a PDF and your journal as CSV or JSON These show what happened alongside your mood, not what caused it. YOUR VOICE STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE Your recording is transcribed on your iPhone or iPad and never leaves it. The text of your check-in is sent to create the summary. With Pro, a few measures worked out from your Apple Health data, such as last night's sleep compared with your usual range, and figures about your mood go with the summary and weekly report requests, so Google's Gemini can write a short insight. They are not stored. Your Apple Health readings themselves stay on your device. If your device cannot transcribe your language by itself, VitaMood offers a one-time speech model download, and only when you choose it. 26 LANGUAGES English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian, Chinese (Simplified), Polish, Ukrainian, Romanian, Turkish, Italian, Dutch, Czech, Greek, Hungarian, Slovak, Japanese, Serbian, Uzbek, Korean, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Hebrew and Swedish.
