Daylio Journal - Daily Diary

5 Stars. It's a great journal app, and I love the personalization that premium offers. The one and only thing that keeps me from fully committing is the lack of an hourly view. I would *love* to be able to see the mood by hour throughout the day for daily energy tracking and such. I think it would fit in beautifully with the stated goals and purposes of the app. Other than that, it's very nice, and I would definitely recommend it.

Daylios has been an incredible app! I've used it since 2018. However, today I encountered an error where it will not let me add any more entries, and since this morning it has become worse - now the app crashes upon opening. I have restarted the app, cleared my cache, cleared all app data, reinstalled, everything. Nothing works. Edit: my bad. I was using the "greater than" and "less than" symbols in an attempted entry, causing the app to read parts of my written entry as data.

I suffered from depression for many years in my life, in 2018 I discovered this app to help cope with it. Daylio at first was simplistic for me. I would choose a happy face or sad face depending on my mood and leave a short blurb of the day sometimes. It was easy enough for me to do and didn’t require that much effort so building the habit of early journaling was easy. little by little I added activities so I didn’t necessarily even have to type anything but could just choose an activity I did, it helped me begin to be able to track what was making me happy and what was making me sad and spotting the consistency of these activities correlating with my moods. Almost 6 years later, my journal entries have become very detailed. If I’m trying to recall what I did days, weeks, or even months ago, I have the resource to find it. Daylio is become the single most important app on my phone because it’s help me establish a record of my life. The continued updates have made it worth buying the premium version. You don’t require subscription to use it as so many other apps and services nowadays have become obsessed with bleeding consumers dry. I recommend this app to anybody who feels like they’re in a rut, to anyone who needs an eye-opening self reflection tool. Do you want to get a better understanding of your habits and who you are as a person? This app can be your greatest resource to do so.

Great! I've used it for a while and probably one of the longest been on a dairy app. wish it had a website version and transcription, but super incredible service. Easy to see snap shots of my mood and feelings and see what affects me. (4/8/23) Update: adding that I've stuck with this and it's made Journaling so easy. Best app and so simple for my needs. Just wish had PC compatibility, but I do know some work around.

I was looking for a mood tracking app where I could have multiple entries throughout the day, not just one at the end. I use this app to help track my anxiety and how I feel leading up to an anxious period as well as other moods. I love that I can go back and add entries even days later if I forgot. I also love that it’s completely customizable and I can have tons of options. I did end up upgrading to premium to unlock unlimited moods and activities because I find it really beneficial and absolutely worth the around $20 a year. I have an activities folder with ranges for my heart rate so so can track that during an anxiety attack, I have one with different physical symptoms like sweaty, dizzy, etc., and even a folder for methods and techniques I’ve already tried to calm down. I hate having to type out every little thing so being able to just go through and simply pick what applies at the moment is great. The small comment section is great as well if I want to add a small note about something that might be important but not frequent enough for its own button. This app is really fantastic for helping track moods and keeping a record of how I am feeling and when in an easy to use format that’s customizable to every person, even down to the color scheme. I started off simply looking for an app where I could have more than one daily entry but this app goes above and beyond.

I have always loved to journal and document both important and mundane days in my life. It’s easy to do with this app, even if you only have a few minutes to check in with yourself to see how you are feeling. All you do is click a few buttons to record what you’ve been doing and how you feel, the app records the time stamp and you’re done! Or if you have more time you can add text too - a little or a lot - I’ve written paragraphs at times. As someone diagnosed bipolar over 20 years ago, using this app is a great way to track moods (I too am in to the popular “mindfulness” trend, even before it became popular): it allows me to pause throughout the day, take a few minutes to sit quietly, notice how my body feels, see what kind of feelings my thoughts bring up in me, and then record that snapshot. Then, at any time I can look at the app’s simple reports that show a variety of trends in you activities and mood over a given period of time. I may think, “wow, I’ve been down and frustrated a lot lately” and then look over the report for the month and see that I actually had a lot of really positive times too. It helps me focus on the positive and work on training my brain not to go automatically to the negative. With practice, our brains CAN be rewired that way! I’ve done it successfully with a couple different things I wanted to change. Anyway, try the app. It’s great!
