I’m currently using Daylio. It works fine, but, given the sensitive nature of the information, I want something more private/trustworthy. The following is what I am looking for in the app:
Essentials:
- Android app.
- Support custom tags and notes when recording a mood.
- The ability to add a mood for a specific day/time other than current (for example, if I miss an entry).
- Support multiple entries per day.
Nice-to-haves:
- Visualizations of the moods, and other data, over time
- Data exports/backups
You must log in or register to comment.
I think this one is the most promising so far.
Also interested in this. Though I’ve been thinking about writing a bash script to record my moods and use something like olive tin to give myself an interface for it.
I’m learning bash so it would be a good exercise for me, and I’ve been wanting to give olive tin a try.
Honestly, you can just use the habit tracking app.
Loop Habits Tracker is a good one.
You just create a measurable habit and use 1-10 scale for your mood tracking.- It does have the option for notes but no tags unfortunately.
- You can add entries retrospectively.
- It has nice data visualization and you can export data.
- Since it’s a habit tracker it’s pretty private. You can name your mood tracker (habit) however you want, nobody can even tell it’s a mood tracker.
I’m not sure how well it works as a mood tracker, but I love this app, I’ve been using it for years.
This doesn’t quite meet my requirements for a mood tracking app, but thank you for the recommendation of it as a habit tracker! I will definitely make use of it for tracking habits.
Not sure if it has every feature you’re looking for, but I was able to transition from Daylio to Daily You and be ok with it. Can’t track what activities you did with buttons, but can track your mood every day with a journal entry for each day, and an image if you want. There’s even a Python script to convert your entries from Daylio into Daily You!

Thank you for your recommendation! Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite meet my requirements.
Tickmate is a one-bit journal to record if something happened or not, each day.
Preset categories or create you own categories. Can create AM and PM mood categories for more granularity.
Exports to a .db file in SQLite format.
Thank you for your recommendation. IIUC, this appears to be similar to what @Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de suggested. Unfortunately, the UI is rather unappealing to me (if I am not mistaken that this is indeed the app that you are referring to).
I would trust Pixels over Daylio any day, but it’s not open source. Solo dev
Thank you for your suggestion 😊. Unfortunately, that app doesn’t allow multiple entries per day. I neglected to put that in my list of essentials. I will update it.
