MoodCanvas

MoodCanvas isn't a complicated emotion-analytics tool. It's the most minimal mood tracker and micro-journal there is: once a day, log how you feel in about five seconds. How was today? Great, Good, Okay, Bad, or Awful — tap one of five and you're done. Want to remember more? Add feelings (12 built-ins like joy, calm, grateful, anxious, tired), activity tags (work, study, family, exercise, rest…), a one-line note, and a single photo. All optional. Fast, gentle, no pressure. HOW IT WORKS (the 5-second log) • Pick a mood — one tap across five levels for how today feels. • Add context (optional) — feeling chips, activity tags, a one-line note (typed or on-device voice-to-text), one photo. • Watch the canvas fill in — each day is one square of color; a month fills in like a painting. • Log as many times a day as you like — a mood is a moment, not a whole day. WHAT'S INSIDE • Today — big mood buttons, today's entries, your canvas quietly filling in • Calendar heatmap — your month painted by mood; good days and hard days at a glance • Insights — mood trend chart, distribution, your streak, gentle insight cards • Feelings & tags — 12 feelings and editable activity tags to capture context • One-line note — type it, or use on-device voice-to-text • Gentle reminders — a soft nudge at the time you choose • Face ID / passcode lock — keep your most private notes to yourself (free) PRIVACY FIRST (this is the whole point) Everything is processed on this iPhone. No account, no server, no cloud sync, no ads, no tracking. Even voice-to-text runs entirely on-device. Your data never leaves your phone. Need a backup? Export it yourself as JSON or a beautiful PDF — and you decide where that file lives. Our App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected." NEVER PUNITIVE Streaks encourage; they never pressure. Miss a day and there's no guilt screen — just start painting again whenever you like. START FREE, UNLOCK ONCE FOR LIFE Free: unlimited entries, all five mood levels + 12 feelings + the built-in tags, 1 photo per entry, this-week + streak + the current-month calendar, one daily reminder, JSON backup & restore, Face ID lock, light & dark. Pro (one-time lifetime unlock, $4.99): advanced insights (mood×tag correlations, long-range trends, per-feeling analytics, weekday averages), the full Year-in-Pixels canvas, all premium color themes, custom feelings & tags, unlimited photos, a beautiful PDF report export, Home- and Lock-Screen widgets, and multiple daily reminders. Not a subscription. One tap a day to paint how you feel. Color in today's first square.
