Some days you cry and you don't know why. Crying Diary helps you see the pattern. Log a cry in about ten seconds: how many tears, sad or happy, why, and a note if you want one. Then let the charts show you what you couldn't see day to day — which weekday is hardest, how the months compare, what keeps coming up as the reason. Your data never leaves your phone. Not as a promise — as a fact. The app has no network access at all. No account, no cloud, no ads, no trackers. Everything is stored locally on your device, and backups are files you control. • Calendar with a teardrop on every day you logged • Happy vs sad tears, weekday patterns, tears per month, top reasons • Longest streak without crying • Custom categories with your own names and emoji • Shareable stats card • Light and dark theme • English, French, German, Serbian, Slovenian • Free, no in-app purchases Export your diary any time, including to the Day One format.
