Understand your emotions, capture meaningful moments, and make time for what matters with private mood tracking, journaling, memories, and Focus Sessions.
Soul Journal is a private mood tracker, journal, and focus companion that helps you understand how you feel and make space for what matters.
Check in with your mood, capture meaningful moments, and turn focused time into reflection. With Focus Sessions, you can read, study, work, meditate, create, or choose a personal activity in a calm full-screen timer, then save how you feel when the session ends.
Log your daily mood in seconds, add reflections, attach photo memories, save the song that matched your day, and track the books you are reading. As your entries grow, Soul Journal turns them into clear, personal insights with mood analytics, calendar history, reading habits, private photo memories, Home Screen widgets, featured memories, and on-device journal reflections.

Soul Journal has become part of my daily routine. This app is beautiful and incredibly easy to use. I love being able to quickly track my mood and write down my thoughts and look back. I like how you can add the song that was on repeat that day for your music section.

Great mood tracking app

This app has one of the best UI I’ve used for mood tracker. Takes a few seconds to track my moods, and journals. Connect them to songs and books is great concept. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much! Reviews like these make all the hard work worth it. 🌸❤️
Check-ins are now simpler to create and easier to revisit.
• Journal, Photo, Music, and Book attachments are neatly organized in a compact selector, with one focused preview at a time.
• Mood Details now use clear, compact tiles with smoother transitions, including a read-only summary for logged Focus Sessions.
• Focus timers and Live Activities stay accurate when your device is locked or asleep. Paused timed activities now show the correct remaining time.
Thank you for journaling with Soul Journal.
