A mood tracker for people who think mood trackers are kinda cringe
iOS product page
A 30-second check-in that turns your week into color.
MoodLight is an iPhone mood tracker built around five orbs — calm, bright, heavy, off, and numb — instead of a 1-10 scale. Tap an orb, add an optional one-line note, done in fifteen seconds. Your week becomes a soft gradient strip you can actually look at, share, or save for therapy. No bank of questions, no streaks to lose, no account, no cloud. Just a quiet daily moment of self-honesty.
Your day rarely holds one mood. MoodLight now keeps every moment you log — and can write you a gentle line about how the day actually moved. No streaks. No scores.
30 secper check-inTap an orb, add an optional one-line note, done. Faster than typing a single sentence in any other journal.
5 orbsinstead of a 1-10 scaleCalm, bright, heavy, off, numb — the real states most apps ignore. No “happy/sad,” no clinical wheel, no comparison anxiety.

Lifestyle
Built for people who bounced off Daylio
Most mood apps treat your feelings like a spreadsheet — rate yourself 1-10, fill out a wheel of 100 emotions, miss a day and lose your streak. MoodLight is the opposite. Five plain words. Five colors. One tap. The result is a gradient map of your week that says more than a bar chart ever could, and a daily habit that takes less time than scrolling TikTok. Sister to Reset — same studio brand: soft tools for hard days.

Key features
What makes MoodLight stand out.
01
Five orbs, thirty seconds
Tap calm, bright, heavy, off, or numb. Each orb has its own color and a soft breathing pulse. Add an optional one-line note if you want context, or just tap and close the app.
02
Your week, in color
Open MoodLight and your last seven days are right there as a soft horizontal gradient. The shape of your week tells the story before you read a single word — no charts, no scores, no shame.
03
A mood map you actually want to see
Plus unlocks the month and year mood maps — 30 or 365 days of color in a single image. Spot the heavy weeks, the bright runs, the long flat stretches. The visual itself is the insight.
04
Soft, shareable mood cards
Export a week or a month as an aesthetic mood card. Post it to your story, send it to a friend, or save it for yourself — dusk-toned and designed for TikTok and Instagram, not a clinical PDF.
05
Bring it to therapy
Your mood map is a 30-second answer to “how have you been feeling lately?” Save your therapist real time and get to what matters in session faster.
06
Private by design
No account. No sign-up. No cloud. No analytics SDK. Your check-ins, notes, and mood maps live only on your device — the way a journal should.
What's new
Version 1.1.0
Released on the App Store
Your day rarely holds one mood — so MoodLight stopped pretending it did.
MORE THAN ONE MOMENT A DAY
Check in as often as your day changes. Every moment is kept, never overwritten.
• Today's moments now sit under the orb on Home, each with the time you logged it
• A day that swung shows as bands in the week strip instead of one flat colour
• Counts are moments now, not just days — nothing you logged disappears
TODAY, REFLECTED (PLUS)
A sentence or two about how today actually moved between its moments. Warm, never clinical, never advice. Only mood names are ever sent — your notes never leave your device.
YOUR RHYTHM
A quiet look at when you tend to check in: morning, afternoon, evening or night. Just when, not how often.
THE MONTH AS A CALENDAR (PLUS)
The Mood Map's month view is now a calendar of orbs, so a Tuesday sits under the other Tuesdays and repeats become easy to see.
ALSO
• Rate MoodLight from Settings
• Reduce Motion is respected throughout
• Clearer, more honest wording on what Plus includes
Still no streaks, no scores, no account.
Who it's for
Built for real workflows.
The morning check-in
Wake up, open MoodLight, tap the orb that fits, optional one-line note, close the app. Fifteen seconds total — faster than scrolling Instagram.
The "what kind of week was that?" Sunday
Open the app on Sunday night and see your week as a horizontal gradient. The shape says “this was a hard week” or “this was a good run” without needing words.
The therapist share
Export your last 30 days as a single mood-map image and bring it to your first session. Save ten minutes of “how have you been feeling lately” and get to what matters.
The TikTok / Instagram story
Your week looks like a sunset (golds and sage). Tap Share, export the gradient as a square card, post to your story. A quieter, more aesthetic kind of mental health share.

How is MoodLight different from Daylio or How We Feel?
MoodLight uses five visual orbs (calm, bright, heavy, off, numb) instead of a 1-10 scale or a wheel of 100 emotions, and a check-in takes about thirty seconds. There are no streaks to lose and no clinical framing. The output is a colored gradient map of your week, not a bar chart — the visual itself is the insight.
Do I need an account?
No. MoodLight has no sign-up, no email, and no cloud. All your check-ins, notes, and mood maps stay on your device. Uninstalling the app removes everything.
Is MoodLight a mental health treatment?
No. MoodLight is a journaling and self-awareness tool, not a clinical or medical product. We deliberately avoid words like “therapy,” “diagnose,” or “treat.” If today feels especially heavy, please reach out to someone — the app links to crisis resources in Settings.
How much is MoodLight Plus?
The free tier includes unlimited check-ins and the 7-day mood map. MoodLight Plus unlocks the month and year mood maps, pattern insights, custom reminders, and image/PDF export: $4.99/week with a 3-day free trial, or $39.99/year (about 84% less than weekly). Cancel anytime in iOS Settings.
