Worth knowing
DailyBean
- Offered for iPhone, iPad and Android only; no web or desktop version is listed.
- The free version shows ads and allows 1 photo a day; Premium Pass removes ads and allows 3.
- Syncing across devices, up to 5, and in-depth analysis require Premium Pass.
- The vendor's site shows no prices; the US App Store lists several monthly and annual pass price points.
Moodflow
- There is no web or desktop version, and the App Store listing is for iPhone only.
- The site lists no Plus prices; the App Store shows $3.49, $9.99 and $14.99 purchases without saying what period each covers.
- The Google Drive backup file is not separately encrypted, and only the 4 most recent backups are kept.
- Because entries live on the device, the vendor cannot restore them if the phone is lost without a backup.
Key features
DailyBean
- Entries in a few taps
- Choose a mood bean, tap icons for activities, routines and meals, then add a photo and a short note if you want. Longer text notes are also possible.
- Custom blocks and icons
- Category blocks can be added, removed and edited so the log tracks what matters to you. Custom and special blocks are included in the free version.
- Mood calendar and themes
- Each day's mood colors a monthly calendar, building a year-in-pixels view. Themes for decorating the calendar are released every month.
- Analysis reports
- Charts show how habits and activities relate to your mood. Basic analysis is free, and in-depth analysis is part of Premium Pass.
- Sleep, exercise and health logs
- Besides notes and photos, you can log sleep time, exercise, a song of the day, step count and menstruation, or sync health data instead of typing it in.
- Lock, backup and device sync
- The app locks with a PIN or Face ID, and records are tied to an account so they restore on a new phone. Premium Pass syncs up to 5 devices.
Moodflow
- One-tap check-ins
- Rate the day from 1 to 5 and pick the emotions you felt, then optionally add the activities you did and a note. Several entries can be made in one day.
- Insights and correlations
- Charts break mood down by activity, social interaction and life factor, and rank how relationships and habits correlate with it over any time window.
- Daily, gratitude and symptom journals
- The daily journal takes free writing with photos and places, the gratitude journal gives a daily prompt, and the symptom journal logs symptoms and triggers.
- Calendar and year views
- Each day takes a color from its mood. Months can be shown in ring, gradient or average styles, and a year grid shows one square per day.
- Routines and 28-day challenges
- A routine planner tracks routines step by step, and 28-day challenges at several difficulty levels are meant to build simple habits.
- On-device storage and backups
- Entries stay on the phone and are not sent to the vendor. An optional backup goes to a hidden folder in your own Google Drive, and Plus backs up entry photos to the vendor's cloud.
