A mood tracker that doesn't shame you for skipping a day
tadoy's mood tracker is built for people who want to notice how they're feeling without being shouted at about it. Quick daily check-in, two-way Apple Health sync, quiet streak chip, no red dots, no broken-streak banners. Mood data lives on your device.
What's in the mood module
- Daily check-in — valence and energy on a 2-axis grid, two taps to log.
- Contributing factors — tag sleep, work, people, food, weather (optional).
- Short note — one line if you want, nothing if you don't.
- Widget check-in — one-tap from the lock screen or home screen.
- Trends view — read mood over a week, month, or longer.
- HealthKit two-way — writes to Apple Health's State of Mind; reads existing entries back.
- Cross-section signals — the daily page shows mood alongside sleep, habits and what you logged in the journal.
Streaks, kept quiet
Most mood trackers turn streaks into the headline because streaks drive engagement metrics. tadoy keeps the streak — there's a small chip if you've kept it up — but it isn't the point. No red dot on the app icon. No broken-streak banner. No shame notification when you missed yesterday. Skip a day. Skip a week. Come back. The page is still there, and the trend view shows the shape of the month rather than just a number you can break.
Mood inside the daily page
Mood is most useful when it's surrounded by the other things you noticed that day. tadoy puts mood on the daily page so a low day shows up next to the four hours of sleep, the three meetings, the missed habit. The evening review (opt-in) can synthesise the pattern across days if you want it to.
How tadoy's mood tracker compares
- vs Apple Health (State of Mind) — Apple's mood surface is free and well-designed. tadoy is the editorial daily page that sits around it and reads/writes State of Mind cleanly.
- vs How We Feel — How We Feel is the best free mood-only app, designed with Yale's Marc Brackett. If mood-only is what you want, it's excellent. tadoy is for people who want mood as one ingredient in a wider page.
- vs Daylio — Daylio is the muscle-memory low-friction mood tracker. tadoy's check-in is similar in speed, with a calmer aesthetic and the bundle around it.
- vs Finch — Finch gamifies mood as part of a Tamagotchi-style pet loop. tadoy is the editorial opposite — no pet, no shame loop, just the daily page.
Privacy
Mood entries live on your device. They aren't synced to tadoy's servers and aren't used to train any model. If you opt in to the evening review, a summary of the day's mood is included in the message that's sent to the AI — not the full history. Full detail on the privacy page.

Common questions about the mood tracker
- Does it sync with Apple Health?
- Yes, two ways. Writes to State of Mind, reads existing entries back.
- How quick is the check-in?
- A few taps. One tap from the lock-screen widget.
- Are there streaks on mood?
- A quiet streak chip, yes — but no red dot on the icon, no broken-streak banner, no shame notification.
- Can I have mood-only?
- Mood is part of the full subscription. For mood-only, Apple's State of Mind and How We Feel are excellent free options.
