A daily mood tracker that lives on your desktop
Most mood trackers are phone apps, which is fine until you want to write more than a sentence. Daily Mood Tracker Diary is a daily mood tracker and mood journal built for a Windows PC, with a real keyboard for the note and a full screen for looking back.
Logging a day takes a few seconds. Under How are you feeling today? choose one of ten mood faces: Happy, Sad, Angry, Anxious, Neutral, Bored, Confused, Shocked, Love or Crazy. Give the day one to five stars, tick the tags that fit, and type a note of any length before Save Entry. Some days are not one mood all day, so a date can hold several entries, each with its own face, stars, tags and note.
Each logged day turns into a colored tile on the Month calendar. A few weeks in, the colors start telling you things you would not have noticed day to day.
Mood journal insights: the habits behind your good and bad days
Under What was part of it? each day can carry tags such as Good sleep, Poor sleep, Exercise, Work, Friends, Family, Outdoors, Sunshine, Rain or Me time, or choose Add your own. Insights then compare your better and harder days against those tags.
After seven logged days, What your days say starts reporting patterns, such as a tag that keeps turning up on good days or one that goes with rough ones. A tag is only judged once there are at least three days with it and three without, so one lucky afternoon does not become a rule. With 14 days logged it can name the weekday that tends to run lowest or brightest, and it compares your most recent fortnight with the one before it. Hover over any insight to highlight the matching dates in the calendar.
Your year in pixels, and a look back on this day
Switch from Month to Year and each date of the year shrinks to one tinted square in a single grid, the year-in-pixels view people often draw by hand in a bullet journal. Save it as a PNG image to print or share.
On this day puts today next to A month ago and A year ago, so you can see how far a hard stretch really was. Search your entries finds past days by the words you wrote, a mood, a date or a tag, and each month shows its mix of moods and your current streak.
A letter to your future self, sealed until the day
Time capsule lets you write a note under Write to your future self… then set its opening date with In a month, In 6 months, In a year, or a calendar day of your own. Seal it and it cannot be read early, not even by you. When the day comes, a notification lets you know, and you choose Break the seal to read it.
A private diary app for Windows with a daily check-in
Turn on Remind me to check in and pick a time under Remind me at; it starts at 8:00 PM. The reminder only arrives on days with no entry yet, and it carries buttons for your four most-used moods, so a single click logs the day without opening the app. Send a test reminder shows exactly what it will look like.
Entries are stored on this PC, encrypted to your Windows account. Password lock adds a password the diary asks for each time it opens. An optional EvlarSoft ONE sign-in can back up an unlocked diary to move it to another PC; a password-protected diary and sealed time capsules always stay local.
