Mood logging
Rate each mood on a 1-to-7 scale and attach a written note. A widget provides a faster way to record a mood without opening the full journal.
Moon: Mood Tracker & Journal
Moon: Mood Tracker & Journal is an iPhone mood tracker and journal with 1–7 ratings, notes, charts, recaps, Apple Health, iCloud sync, privacy modes, and paid AI analysis.
Overview
Moon is an iPhone mood tracker and journal from SCADA SIA. It combines 1-to-7 mood ratings with text or voice notes, then organizes the resulting history into a calendar, searchable journal, charts, and periodic recaps.
The app focuses on helping users examine their own mood patterns rather than providing advice. It can compare recurring factors in journal entries with higher or lower recorded moods, while explicitly presenting those relationships as correlations rather than causes. Optional Apple Health context and iCloud syncing extend the information available around each entry.
Core features
Searchable journal
View entries in a searchable feed, making it easier to revisit notes and locate past observations.
Trends and mood calendar
Review mood patterns across day, week, month, and year views. Charts link points back to the related journal entry for added context.
Fills & Drains
Moon identifies recurring factors in notes—such as people, places, activities, and habits—and shows which factors are associated with higher or lower recorded moods. The app presents correlations rather than causes.
AI recaps
Day, week, month, and year recaps summarize changes and possible patterns across the user's history, including recurring rhythms and unusual days. Advanced AI-powered recaps are part of the paid plans.
Input, context, and privacy tools
Use voice dictation, Apple Health context including sleep, workouts, steps, and activity, reminders, iCloud sync, and privacy controls such as Local Mode. Availability of several of these features depends on the plan.
Ways to use Moon
Daily mood check-ins
Create a lightweight daily record by rating your mood and adding a short note, with reminders or the widget helping maintain a regular logging habit.
Personal reflection
Use the journal feed, search, calendar, and charts to review how mood changed over a particular week, month, or year and jump from a chart point to the relevant entry.
Pattern exploration
Look for repeated associations in notes, such as whether particular activities, places, habits, or people appear more often alongside higher or lower mood ratings. Treat the results as observations for reflection, not diagnoses or causal conclusions.
Mood and activity context
Add sleep, workouts, steps, and activity from Apple Health to provide additional context when reviewing mood entries, where the relevant paid feature is enabled.
Privacy-conscious journaling
Keep selected entries on the device with Local Mode, or use iCloud sync and backup options when continuity across devices is more important than device-only storage.
