Mood Easy
Read full descriptionHide full description
Mood Easy turns each day into one colored square. Tap the face that matches how you feel, and over the months your year fills in as a grid you can read in a second. FIVE FACES, ONE TAP Great, good, okay, bad or awful, each face in its own color, from bright yellow down to deep indigo. Tap once to check in. Tap a different face to change it. Add a short note when something is worth remembering. THE YEAR AS A GRID Twelve columns for the months, a row for every date. Good stretches and hard weeks stand out by color alone. Tap a square to open that day, change it, or fill in a day you skipped. ASK SIRI Say "Check in with Mood Easy" and tell Siri how you feel, and the app can stay closed. In Shortcuts you can open Year in pixels or Insights, or add a check-in to an automation. WHAT THE NUMBERS SAY How your moods split, your average, your current and longest streak, how weeks and months compare, which weekday tends to go best, and the words you write most. Counts and charts, no verdicts. HOME SCREEN AND WRIST The medium widget checks you in with a tap and lines up the last seven days. A Lock Screen widget keeps today's face in view. The Apple Watch app checks in from your wrist and hands it to your iPhone. APPLE HEALTH, YOUR CALL Switch it on and each day's mood is written into Apple Health as a State of Mind sample (iOS 18 or later). Mood Easy writes and never reads, and notes are never sent there. A NUDGE AT YOUR HOUR Pick a time for a reminder. Once you've checked in that day, it stays quiet. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE Nothing to sign into, no advertising, no usage stats, and the only network call Mood Easy makes is the App Store loading the optional tips. Your history is stored on your iPhone and paired Apple Watch. Export it to a CSV spreadsheet at any moment. COLORS AND ICONS Pick Light, Graphite or Black, plus one of eight accent colors, and the Home Screen icon changes to match. A TIP, IF YOU LIKE Mood Easy is free and has nothing to unlock. If it helps you check in with yourself, you can leave a one-time tip in Settings: a Smile, Sunshine, a Bouquet or a Rainbow. Tips go through the App Store and change nothing in the app. Mood Easy is a self-check tool. It doesn't diagnose or treat anything. If a day feels too heavy, reach out to someone you trust or a professional; in the US, 988 answers around the clock.
