Note

Due to its many features Mood Patterns is NOT the simplest mood tracker. It probably will take you a few minutes until you know your way around the app. But we try our hardest to make it worth your while with helpful, detailed, and multifaceted insights. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask them at [e-mail] or our FB page (link in the app).

Gain insights into your feelings

A mood journal or mood diary is a great way to keep a record of your feelings, but Mood Patterns can do much more for you. It is not just a mood tracker but links how you feel, to your location, company, and activity as well as to how you slept and to recent events in your life. Use it to explore the patterns in your mood.

Capture how you feel in your daily life

Classical diaries have one major flaw - they are subject to recall bias. Some activities in our lives are more salient than others. We remember them better and more vividly and therefore often believe they take a larger part of each day than they do. However, for most of us, routines fill the largest part of our daily life, and those are often overlooked in diaries.

To capture all parts of your life that matter Mood Patterns uses a technique of the social sciences: ecological momentary assessment also known as experience sampling.

You are unique

Where we go, who we meet, and what we do is individual. With Mood Patterns, you do not have to choose from a fixed set of categories but can tailor your options to your personal needs. Be as nuanced as you like in configuring places, people, and activities.

Your data is yours

How you feel is sensitive private data. We believe it should not be carelessly entrusted to anybody. Mood Patterns does not request Internet permission, therefore no data transfer in the background without your knowledge is possible. Mood Patterns will not send us or anybody else your data.

Your data is safe

Denying Mood Patterns Internet access frees you from the need to trust us, but what about others? An app lock assures that only you can use your Mood Patterns app. To prevent that the app lock is bypassed by connecting your mobile phone to a PC, all data is 256-bit AES encrypted. Unfortunately, there is no 100% safety, but Mood Patterns makes it hard to get your data without your consent.

Ratings and reviews

The app is thoughtfully designed, has a very minimal and undistracting UI and is strongly privacy focused. It even requires authentication from the user to view historical data and trends. There have been no tracking attempts from it to any external services and I feel safe trusting it to store my day-to-day data about my feelings, whatever they are. The free-tier limitations are annoying but it's very useful tool that I don't mind paying a very small money subscription fee for.

Very flexible. You may customize this to be simple to use consistently for your exact needs, or set up complex tracking. Crunchy, powerful, and granular, beyond what the feedback in the app can make use of. The export data is excellent for spreadsheets for generating charts, so you (or your clinician) can see how your cycles interact with each other. It's the best.

Finally, an app that lets you just track mood data on your phone without having to give anyone your email. Wonderful! This app is highly customizable, allowing you to track your mood, custom moods (for example, I added an uninspired vs creative slider), where you were, what you were doing, events that were happening. The dev is highly responsive- I emailed them about a bug and it was fixed in less than 24 hours. Couldn't ask for more!
