VillageMind: Mood Tracker

Yijun Kim

About this app

VillageMind is a small, quiet village built for people who live alone. A gentle mood tracker, mindfulness journal, and mental wellness companion — without followers, likes, or leaderboards.

Every day, you take a one-minute check-in: mood, energy, stress. A soft "survival ping" that nobody performs for social credit, because there is no social credit here. No DMs. No streak-shaming. No notifications that pretend to be urgent just to drag you back in.

— A safety net for living alone —
If you skip check-ins for 3+ days in a row, VillageMind automatically pings a trusted contact you've chosen yourself (a family member, a close friend, a neighbor). The fear of living alone is not loneliness — it's the silence of "if I collapse, nobody will know." VillageMind exists to close that gap.

— The daily check-in —
• Pick an emotion, jot a one-line journal note if you want — or don't.
• Mood, energy, stress on one calm screen.
• No scores, no grades, no ranks. Like a short meditation.

— A cozy village you tend —
• Plant seeds in your garden, decorate your home, have quiet conversations with NPC neighbors. NPCs are not quests to "clear" — they're just neighbors who notice you're around.
• Visit other players' islands through the dock and leave a kind note in their guestbook.
• A weekly mailbox shows the notes friends have left for you.

— A gentle weekly summary —
Your weekly report says things like "you felt at ease most often this week" and "walks seemed to restore your energy" — written gently, with no score, no grade, no ranking. Helpful for anyone managing anxiety, low energy, or burnout.

— Key features —
• Daily mood / energy / stress check-in
• Auto-alert to a trusted contact after 3+ missed days
• Local-first mood journal with optional server sync
• Personal garden, home decoration, gentle NPC encounters
• Visit other islands, guestbook, mailbox
• 11 languages (Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese Simplified/Traditional, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian)

— Privacy principles —
VillageMind is built on the premise that emotional data belongs to you alone.
• Journal and check-in content is encrypted on-device before it ever touches our servers.
• The smallest viable data is synced. At any time, export your full account as JSON or delete it entirely.
• We do not collect location, contacts, call logs, or browsing history.
• We do not use advertising identifiers.

— Who it's for —
• People who live alone and want a quiet journaling habit
• Anyone tired of loud social apps, looking for a calmer mental wellness tool
• Beginners to mindfulness who want a low-pressure, daily mood tracker
• Anyone who carries the quiet anxiety of "what if no one notices?"

Recommended for ages 13 and up. Younger users are encouraged to register a parent or guardian as their trusted contact.
