ColorMood

Track your mood without writing a word. ColorMood lets you pick one color that matches how today feels, then turns your days into a living mosaic you can actually read at a glance. Most mood trackers ask you to grade your feelings on a scale or fill in a paragraph. ColorMood is different: you choose a hue on a color wheel, name the feeling if you want, and that single tap becomes your entry. Over weeks, your calendar blooms into a palette that shows your emotional patterns far faster than any journal. WHAT YOU GET - One-tap mood logging with a full color wheel and brightness dial - A calendar that fills in day by day into a mosaic of your moods - A scrolling history timeline you can revisit, edit, or delete - Insights that reveal your dominant colors and week-by-week patterns - A mood-brightness trend chart across your last 30 days - Daily streaks and a gentle reminder so the habit actually sticks PERFECT FOR - People who want to understand their moods without long journaling - Anyone building a calm, daily mindfulness ritual - Self-trackers who love seeing patterns in their own data - Creatives who simply want a beautiful, personal color journal WHY NOT JUST USE A NOTES APP? Because words are slow and hard to compare. A color you can feel in an instant, and a year of colors tells a story a wall of text never could. ColorMood turns reflection into something you look forward to. PRIVACY Your colors and notes stay on your device. No accounts, no ads, no tracking, and it works 100% offline. FULL ACCESS The free version lets you log up to 14 days of color. Premium unlocks unlimited mood entries, the full Insights suite (trends, weekday patterns and dominant-color reports), and CSV export to back up or analyze your data. Premium is available as a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Pick today's color and start your mosaic.
