Record your precious day with a ghostdiary! You can record your daily life easily and quickly with cute ghost characters. "Emotional Records" Record your mood as a ghost butler character, and check out the calendar at a glance. It is also possible to classify the diary by each emotion. "Daily Diary" Record who you spent the day with and what you did with various icons. Write it simply with icons on a daily basis, and on a special day, with pictures and long articles. "Mood Tracker" Check the statistics on emotions and activities recorded. Identify the factors that affect my emotions.

There'll be a note in it that'll help. When you have negative thoughts such as depression, insomnia, or irritation, stress pull out a fortune cookie and control your mind.

Both are free to download. mood! sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and GhostDiary sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for mood! against 4.7 for GhostDiary.

Written reviews are what separate them: 86% of mood!'s written reviews are positive against 87% of GhostDiary's.
mood! ships an update every 9 days, GhostDiary fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
