Signing up for X dollars a month to have access to an interface that will simply allow me to make notes about how i might feel at a certain time. Best of all, companies will probably use my own reflections on my mental health to…sell me more shit.

Anyone got a mood tracking app they like, or should I just set up a spreadsheet month by month and invite my therapist to collaborate on it?

    Huawei watch has one, seems pretty good. Kinda funny to get a notification of stressed watching a show or playing an intense game

    Tbh, I just have a special calendar called “mood” and track my mood there when I notice I’m feeling a certain way. I can export it and whatnot, and it is already an app I use and open a lot.

    I can’t personally vouch for any of them, but a cursory search of f-droid shows a few FOSS, local-only mood tracking apps. Probably worth a look.

    My first instinct is to be very weary of a mood tracking app. I would hate to have my thoughts/feelings used as ‘evidence’ of something. Or be shown advertisements for SSRI/SNRIs.

    I’m sorry I don’t have an actual answer of substance to share.

      I have to agree with you here. Which is frustrating, because it makes me think of how useful so much technology could be if they cut the predatory bloat from it.

    I use Super Protectivity as my work and personal life organizer/to-do list, which includes a habit tracker and mood tracker.

    It’s huge overkill for just what you’re asking for, but it’s open source, local-first, doesn’t steal your data, with the capacity to be completely self-hosted, cross-platform, and entirely free. I highly recommend a look, you might eventually find its task list+time tracking useful as well.
