I first started using Daylio over 5yrs ago at the recommendation of my psychologist after complaining that had to use multiple apps to monitor everything. Since then none of the many mood trackers I’ve tested have out done Daylio & I come crawling back. Deceptively simple, this small but mighty app is an elegant and intuitive multi tool for emotional tracking. While not having some of the bells and whistles of it competitors it wins out due to its modularity. Fantastically customisable you can create a system as detailed or succinct as you please and you only have to track the thing that matter to YOU. I used the free version for so long I decided to upgrade just to thank the developers (one off payment NOT a subscription model thank god). I’m so glad I did because since then the couple of features I felt were “missing” were added along with a number of function I hadn’t realised I needed but now couldn’t live without. Anyone wanting to track emotions, habits and health, particularly those with a mood disorder, should absolutely give this a download!

Daylio is easily customisable, giving it multiple uses. It functions fantastically both as a mood, behaviour and health tracker, and as a diary/journal. It functions well as a habit tracker with the option to implement personalised notification reminders if wanted.Daylio is particularly interesting as it provides reports that assess correlations between moods and behaviours, which can act as useful indicators of potential problematic or healthy behaviours.Importantly, data is regularly backed up to the cloud, and easily exported into PDF or CSV documents. If of interest, CSV exports data in a clean manner, allowing for easy data analysis in statistical programs.The sole downside to the app is that entries require users to select a mood in order to log written entries, photos, or behaviours, which makes backdating entries difficult. I would appreciate being able to add photos/notes to days even when I cannot remember my mood. Considering the app is marketed as a mood tracker, this is understandable, of course. Lastly, Daylio puts recognisable effort into maintaining and improving their app. They have increased the number of photos that can be added per entry, which is fantastic. I also look forward to them someday allowing videos to be saved/linked in entries: the true advantage of digital over physical diaries/trackers!

I use this app every single day to track what I’ve done + how my mood has changed throughout the day (+ week, months, years) as I have adhd and it can be really hard for me to remember what I’ve done/how I’ve felt otherwise.I like the reminder and goal-setting functions and that there’s also a space to write things + add a photo in your entry as you can decide whether or not to just select the mood and the activities or to write something as well. Everything is so customisable down to being able to create new moods and activities and also being able to change the colour palate, which I love. I currently have a streak of 869 days on this app and I haven’t missed a day since I started, which is unusual for me as I would usually keep it up for a week and then stop but I just love this app so much that I’ve been able to keep up the habit!!

I have had postpartum depression and anxiety. I found this app when I was looking for a journal-type app as my psychologist recommended that I work on being more organised and setting achievable goals. I never write reviews, but I’ve been using this every day, several times a day, and recommending it to everyone. I love it’s simplicity - charting my moods throughout each day, finding patterns, I love ticking off my daily goals, I love the customisation features (labelling each of my moods, changing colours, customising my goals). The app also encourages you to keep achieving your goals and gives you little reward badges. I have it set as a widget on my phone so that I can quickly see it and tap as my moods change. I actually look forward to using it. I’m going to search for any more apps from this developer 😅👍🏼)
