Our verdict

Third of our top three journaling apps

For: People who would rather tap a mood than write an entry

Daylio is a mood tracker and micro-diary: a daily entry takes two taps, a mood and the activities you did, and can be extended with notes, photos and voice memos. Charts, correlations and a Year in Pixels view show how moods and activities line up over time. Entries are stored on the phone and are not sent to Daylio's servers, and the free version has no time limit. Its iPhone and iPad app averages 4.8 from about 61,900 ratings. It is third because it is built for tapping more than writing, on one phone: there is no desktop or web version and no real-time sync between devices. Advanced stats, automatic backups and PDF export need Premium, and Daylio publishes no price list.

What is Daylio?

Daylio is a mood tracker and micro-diary for iPhone, iPad and Android. A daily entry takes two taps, a mood and the activities you did, and can be extended with notes, photos and voice memos. The app turns entries into charts, correlations and a Year in Pixels view, and adds goals, reminders and a lock. Data stays on the device with optional backups to iCloud or Google Drive; there is no desktop or web version and no real-time sync between devices.

Daylio has a free plan. Paid plans start at $4.99 (lowest US App Store in-app purchase; billing period not shown). See every plan

Good for

  • People who want to log a mood in a couple of taps instead of writing
  • Seeing which activities go with better or worse moods over time
  • Privacy-minded users who want entries kept on the phone, not a vendor server

Worth knowing

  • No desktop or web version: Daylio says the app is not being developed for computers or the web.
  • There is no real-time sync; using a second device means a manual backup and restore each time you switch.
  • Advanced stats, automatic backups, PDF export and, on iOS, the PIN lock require Premium.
  • Daylio's site publishes no price list; Premium prices appear in the app and on app store listings.
