I have been using Daylio for a couple of challenging years now. I have undergone massive upheaval, chaos, anxiety and devastating loss, and often I’ve considered that I was doing a lousy job of managing myself… However, I am able to rummage through my meticulously kept Daylio records and see that I have been constantly pragmatic and surprisingly productive. For the first time in my life, I can honestly say that I am proud of myself. My life is undoubtedly a mess, but my ability to manage that mess is something I have only really been able to recognise because of this app. The moods and activities are infinitely customisable, and the reports are incredibly insightful. I especially enjoy seeing patterns emerge, and being able to smile at the absurdity of an emotion like “distress” frequently correlating with the concept of “self care” and production of “nourishing soup”. I had no idea how reassuringly, predictably proactive I actually was, until I saw it all clearly chronicled in front of me. I was even able to achieve specific goals based on the “shame” I felt for including certain icons in my activities - ie. drinking, smoking… and the satisfaction I felt on the days I didn’t have to include them.

I absolutely and without a doubt adore this app. I have been using this app regularly and have made it a routine to use it in the evening so most of the day has gone by but I’m not too tired to write. I love the simplicity of the app and also the customisability with the icons and the colours of the moods. This has become a must have app for me and I recommend it to lots of my friends to use even if they aren’t particularly regular with their updates. I like that I can also tally up my moods to see how the month has gone. I am yet to use the “goals“ system but I’m looking forward to getting into that as well. One thing that I would like to be able to do on the app is perhaps have the ability to add a picture even if not a video. I also would like if the apps look was a little more cute with icons etc even though I do love the simplicity of the app as something are use regularly it would nice to have the app look the way it does in the pictures on the App Store with the icons being at the bottom of the screen.

I’ve been logging multiple times a day for the past 1800 days now and it’s genuinely been such a life changer and allows me to do so much with analysis of my moods and activities. Not to mention that it’s just nice to have all my thoughts and feelings in once place. Daylio doesn’t have to be for journaling. There’s a lot of customisation and it can be whatever you want it to be and make it.Having said that, I’m aware that you can obviously make new moods, but I was wondering if the developers would be able to implement a feature where you can potentially add moods outside of the 1-5 scale. Say for example, you wanted a mood that was higher than 5, or something even worse than 1, or something inbetween 2-3. I often find that the 1-5 scale can be a bit limiting and I’ve had to create my own little system with numbers, but obviously this doesn’t reflect in the statistics. I wonder if there could be a change for this in the future? Thanks!

This is a fun and great app. I especially love it for the quick and easy use of it. Especially on days we’re I don’t want to do a full dairy entry, this app can get the main points of your day and you can add your own things you daily do. For an example there’s an icon for school but you can add another for “sleeping late” using these icons you can get the main point of what you did in the day without having to do an entire dairy entry. I have a different app for those days when I am feeling like an entire 4 paragraph entry but this one for me is to track my mental being’s and how my emotions have changed or stayed the same over a period of time. And if you don’t want to get a different app for dairy/journal entries there’s still an option to do your entries I just choose not too. Anyways. Sorry for the long paragraphs hope this helped and I really recommend getting it okay have a good day or rest of your day bai😊
