Daily Mood Tracking
Andy centers on one daily question: how do you feel now. Tap one of five mood levels and save. The scale stays in the same order every day so the check-in stays fast when you only need a quick read on how the day landed.
The home screen centers on one question: how do you feel right now. You tap Very low through Great and the entry saves. That is the core loop.
The daily check-in
Many journaling apps ask for long nightly write-ups. Andy deliberately keeps the daily step small so the habit is easier to maintain over months.
The scale stays the same every day. You are not relearning the interface when you are already tired.
If you skip a day, the app does not penalize you. The next check-in appears when you open Andy again.
Colors and what you see later
Each level maps to a color you will see again on the timeline and in charts, which makes scanning a week of entries faster than reading text alone.
Daily mood tracking pairs with optional feelings, notes, and review screens. Start with the tap alone, then add detail on days when you have the energy.
Why a small daily tap helps
People use the daily tap as an anchor during anxious weeks because it records that the day happened even when memory later compresses everything into one blur. Over months, the log becomes evidence you can compare with gut feeling, which is often skewed after poor sleep or a string of stressful meetings.
If you already track sleep or exercise elsewhere, Andy still adds value by capturing felt mood in the moment. You can correlate those entries visually on the timeline without merging apps into one dashboard.
Morning vs evening check-ins
Night check-ins work well for many people because the day is mostly complete. Morning check-ins capture sleep hangover or dread before meetings. Either is valid as long as you stay consistent enough to compare weeks.
