baseline: a better journal

The lack of attention this app has compelled me to write a review, because it is a beautifully simple app. The features other than journalling involves a "get help" page with details on mental health assistance which is very useful. There is also their "gap fund" assistance program available for those that really need a bit of financial assistance and I think that is heartwarming.The app itself has no distracting ads. It's easy as setting a time and writing at that time. Currently I've only had the app for a week, missing quite a few entries. I'm hoping to make a better habit of it so I can use this in addition to therapy as I always just say "I've been fine." Which doesn't do much. For reference I'm tracking my mood and recent activity for BPD.Some suggestions: I always find myself wanting to edit a recent log to add onto it seconds after I did it, but I can't find how to do that. I've tried holding, swiping, and the settings menu, so I assume it isn't a thing (I'll keep looking though haha).Second! Aesthetic themes. Humans (me) are more likely to look at personalized pretty things so this is super optional.Finally, I think the graph is a bit hard to understand for me, but it's not that important. Reason is I would put "Average +2" and then "Above Average +2" or something and the circles would be in the same place on the mood line. I think they should be different.That's all! Thank you so much for creating a free app that helps people. I am grateful for what the app has and want the creator to know it has helped me so far. I have 14 entries and more to come. I hope to see this app grow and become more popular!

I found this app from the developer's reddit post. I've been looking for a tracker with exactly the -5 to 5 scale, but no other app seemed to have it so I've just resorted to using google sheets for awhile now. I found myself using the app multiple times a day even without notifications, whereas before I only ever logged my moods once at the end of the day. I realize that my old habit wasn't as comprehensive or indicative of my patterns when it came time to analyze it at the end of the month/quarter. And I'm not super into journaling because I can't manage being so consistent, but I gravitated towards opening the app often enough to write a few entries. It's definitely made me so much more aware of my moods as opposed to once-a-day logging. It's started to become an enjoyable thing as opposed to a chore. Unlike most people, I like that this app is online. I want to be able to access my data on my computer jnstead of just my phone. This app is new, I think it's only been three months. It has great great potential. It works for folks who like bare bones tracking. I have to use other apps to log medications, exercise, menses and all other things relevant for my mental. I also have other apps that generate reports of those logs so I can see the long-term patterns and make connections between certain habits that could be influencing my moods. While this app has a weekly recap, I'd love for the feature to go further than that. I'd just really like to be able to send those patterns to my healthcare team. But these are simply my two cents and doesn't take away from how good this app already is. I love the interface, ease of use, and accessibility, they're some of the main reasons this app has become one of my most-used. The creator made it clear that they believe in creating free resources and services for mental health. This advocacy is one of the reasons I feel good about using this app and will continue to support whatever they release in the future.

Baseline is a really great app! It’s good for any person, for any use. If you are trying to decided whether or not to get this app, you definitely should! It gives weekly review quizzes which is helpful for you to know how the week went in all. Everything is free-may I add! You get results on how much stress and anxiety is in your life and ways to fix it, as well as potentially having depression. This app knew I had depression so I talked to my doctor and i took a few tests and the app was right! Extremely reliable!! All round amazing app!!
