# Daylio

> Mood tracker and micro-diary you fill in with a couple of taps

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.

## Ways to pay less

- **One-time purchase instead of a subscription** (Lifetime license): Daylio's terms describe a One-Time Purchase that grants access without a time limit, alongside monthly and yearly Premium subscriptions. The price is shown in the app. Source: https://daylio.net/faq/terms-of-use/
- **Apple Family Sharing for Premium** (Other savings): On iOS, a Daylio Premium purchase can be shared with family members through Apple Family Sharing once it is set up in Apple settings. Source: https://daylio.net/faq/docs/daylio-faq/about/daylio-family-sharing-on-ios/

## Key features

- **Two-tap entries:** A daily entry is a mood plus the activities you did. Notes, writing templates, photos and voice memos can be added, and moods and activities are customizable.
- **Stats and correlations:** Entries feed weekly, monthly and yearly charts, from simple mood lines to correlations between moods and activities. Advanced stats are a Premium feature.
- **Year in Pixels:** A single chart shows the whole year with one dot for each day. It can be exported as a picture and shared with other people.
- **Goals and reminders:** Daily, weekly or monthly goals sit alongside the diary, with achievements for habits. The free version limits the number of goals and reminders.
- **On-device storage and backups:** Entries are stored on the phone and are not sent to Daylio's servers. Backups go to iCloud on iOS or Google Drive on Android; automatic backups need Premium.
- **Lock and export:** The diary can be locked with a PIN, fingerprint or Face ID, and entries export to PDF or CSV. The PIN lock on iOS and PDF export are Premium features.

## 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.
