About this app

Understanding what you’re feeling and why is often way harder than it should be. baseline is here to help. By giving you a distraction-free, easy way to journal and track your mood, baseline gives you easy opportunities to write and reflect on what you’re feeling throughout the day. With time, you’ll start to understand yourself and your brain better.

baseline is designed not just to help you write and reflect more often, but also to help you understand more about yourself and your mood over time. You’ll get mental health surveys and reviews each week, and we have beautiful visualizations across our app that are designed to help you better see what you’re going through and when you’re struggling.

Ratings and reviews

This app is wonderful, I just wish I could add entries for days/times I forgot to enter. I often have an entry from that exact day that I want to transfer to this app but I can't. One time I fell asleep after writing my entry in app, but didn't hit submit, so when I woke up it looked like it was my entry/mood for the following morning. Might be a small detail but I can't accurately see my mood chart when I can't put in the correct time.

This is a great tool for staying aware of your moods and feelings and checking in with yourself periodically without having to write paragraphs. A few simple questions and if you want to add more for your own reflection, you can. I like that the data is anonymized so the developer doesn't know what you're writing. It's meant for today's "go go go" generation and this Gen Xer loves it!

Took a long time to look for a mood tracker that has a 0-10 (or -5 to 5) scale and gives me a graph with each mood point, and with baseline I finally found it :) I also really enjoy the week reviews and how they give me a sense of how my general state is developing on different levels. A big con: the app doesn't work offline, so if I don't have internet I can't track my mood – and I can't make past entries once I'm online again. Any chance of fixing that?
