Mood tracker

The section asks a question, “How do you feel today?”, and offers five moods: “Great”, “Good”, “Okay”, “Down”, “Sad”. A tap on one of them immediately shows a line written for it. “Great” gets “That's wonderful — carry this feeling with you.”, “Down” gets “That sounds heavy — rest if you can, and move slowly today.” Below, a free field collects the context, a word or two is enough, and a button saves the day's entry.

Under the form, the last seven days line up as dots, the most recent on the right, each in the color of the mood it carries: green for a good day, lilac for a hard one, gray-blue for a neutral one. One entry per day, today's replaces the previous one. The week reads at a glance, with no chart to decipher.

A magazine running a wellness column, a school supporting a class, a gym, a follow-up program: as soon as your app comes back into your users' day, a daily appointment gives them one more reason to open it. And this time, the content is theirs.
