Feelings and Notes
After the mood tap you can tag a feeling from a list or add a short note with a name, place, or trigger. Both fields stay optional on every check-in so quiet days still count when you only save the mood score.
Feelings are quick labels you pick from a list. Notes are free text for a name, place, or one line about what triggered the mood.
Tags and notes on each entry
Tags help when the mood number alone does not tell the full story, for example a neutral score during a stressful workday.
Notes are meant as short reminders for later, not full journal entries. The product nudges toward brevity without hard character limits.
Some people add detail every day. Others only tap the mood. Andy supports both patterns in the same log.
Reading tags and notes later
On the timeline, tags and notes appear beside the mood color so you can scan a difficult week without opening each day again.
If you bring logs to therapy, a one-line note often carries more meaning weeks later than you expect, especially when it names a situation or person.
Flexible formats across weeks
You can mix strategies across weeks: tags only during work stress, notes only on therapy days, mood-only taps on travel. Andy does not force a single format, which matters when energy for writing comes and goes.
Tags also make charts more readable later because you can spot repeated labels across a month faster than rereading full sentences. That is especially helpful when anxiety makes same-day memory unreliable.
When labels feel limiting
If a label list feels limiting, pick the closest feeling and refine in a note. The goal is a quick capture, not perfect taxonomy. You can change how you tag as your vocabulary stabilizes over time. Notes remain editable when you reopen a saved entry on iPhone.
