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

MyMood?
This is definitely in the direction of what I am looking for, but it doesn’t quite match up to what I want. I would like something that offers a bit more customization and is a bit more empirical. You mentioned that it supports tags, but I wasn’t able to find a way to add them. It allows you to add a note for the entry, but that’s about it. A noteworthy feature that it has, which I haven’t seen before, is the ability to add an overall mood for the day on top of the atomic entries throughout the day — that would probably be a good one to have.

Hmmm. I’m not sure that this would really work as a mood tracker. Mood tracking appears to be a sort of afterthought or minor feature. This app is more for habit tracking than mood tracking. The way that you create entries and handle data isn’t quite what I’m looking for.
I think this one is the most promising so far.
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.
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.
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 @[email protected] 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.
