Best for logging your day in a few taps
DailyBean is a diary for people who don't want to write. Pick a mood bean, tap a few icons for what you did, add a photo if you like, and the day is logged. It's free with ads. It's also phones and tablets only, and syncing between devices needs the Premium Pass.

- Handy when you want to see how sleep, exercise and what you did line up with your mood
- A treat if you like decorating a calendar with themes and icons

- Not for you if ads bother you and you won't pay, since the free version shows them
