Why We Chose It

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for better mental health, but Daylio lets you customize mood-tracking tools and activities so that they’re tailored to you.

Pros & Cons

Overview

Sure, a no-frills, straightforward journaling app is sometimes all you need. But customization features, such as the ability to add and change emojis and personalize prompts and reminders, can make mood-tracking more fun (and thus, more likely for you to use).

The Daylio app is a colorfully designed micro-diary app that lets you track and monitor your daily moods and activities, offers insights to determine any patterns, and suggests active steps to decrease your anxiety or avoid stressors and improve low moods.

Once or multiple times throughout the day, simply open up the app to choose or enter your current moods and activities, with the option of customizing emojis, color themes, and descriptions and adding notes to help record details of important events. You can then review entries with stats, charts, and calendars to measure the impact of certain activities on your moods and ultimately build habits, set goals, motivate yourself, and collect achievements.

Daylio’s many features include:

• Customization: The app has a database of icons for personalized activities, and you can mix and match your moods with emojis and customize color themes,
• Statistics and reports: Explore monthly or yearly statistics created from your entries and export them. 
• Reminders: Set reminders so you never forget to create a memory or note an interesting observation.
• Goal setting: Create daily, weekly, or monthly goals to motivate yourself and build healthy habits.

Daylio is free, but a premium subscription lets you enjoy more personalization, set an unlimited number of goals, remove ads, and access more features. The app is available from the App Store and Google Play.
