About this tool
I spent a long time telling people I was fine when I was not, not because I was being dishonest, but because I genuinely could not see the pattern. A hard week felt like my permanent state. A good day felt like luck. What changed was having seven days of data in front of me. You stop treating a single difficult morning as a reliable report on your entire life when you can see it in context.
I built this tool because I wanted the simplest possible version of mood tracking. A few seconds a day, no account, no app to download. Pick your level, add an optional note, save. Come back tomorrow. The bar chart does the rest. The goal is not to optimize your emotional state. It is to understand it, which is the first step toward anything useful.
Frequently asked questions
Mood tracking is supported by research in cognitive behavioral therapy as an effective tool for increasing self-awareness and identifying emotional patterns. Studies show that simply labeling and recording an emotion (a process called "affect labeling") reduces the intensity of the emotion. The seven-day chart reveals patterns you can't see in the moment: weekly cycles, the impact of sleep, or the emotional weight of certain activities.
The five levels are Thriving (energized, engaged, everything feels manageable), Good (generally positive, on track), Okay (neutral, neither up nor down), Low (flat, tired, or mildly discouraged), and Struggling (a difficult day: emotionally heavy, unmotivated, or overwhelmed). The labels are deliberately general. Use them to describe your dominant emotional tone for the day, not a single moment in it.
The chart shows your last seven days, including today. Days where you didn't log a mood appear as a flat, near-empty bar. The tool stores your full log in localStorage; only the past seven days are shown in the chart, but older entries are retained in case we add longer-range views in the future. All data stays in your browser and is never uploaded.
Completely. Your mood log is stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage. It is never sent to a server, never associated with an account, and never accessible to anyone other than you on your device. Clearing your browser's site data will erase it. The tool works fully offline after the first page load; no connection is required to log or view your entries.
Yes. Simply select a different mood level and click "Log today's mood" again. The new entry will overwrite the previous one for today. The note field also updates. You might find it useful to log once in the morning and again in the evening; the evening log will replace the morning one, so choose whichever moment you feel best represents the day overall.
