Daylio offers the wellness benefits of keeping a journal without the commitment of actually writing one. Daylio is a quick and easy way to take stock of how things are going, and how you are feeling. The visual impact of the mood chart and activity logs allows you to find the links between your mood and the activities that promote your health and happiness – whether that be sports, meeting friends, or spending time with a pet.

Its key features are: 

• Mood-tracking at the end of each day is a quick and easy way to take a moment to pause, be present, and reflect on how you are feeling.
• In 5 minutes, Daylio allows you to record your mood and activities for the day. With repeat use it can give you statistics for your mood patterns and habits, over a week, month, and year.
• If you are looking to develop new habits – for example running, or reading – Daylio is a great visual tool to see how you’re doing in keeping on track with these goals.

Our Top Tip: 

Daylio is a great tool for keeping a routine and developing accountability when forming new habits. Try and do your log at the same time each day to get into the habit of taking time out for yourself. Similarly, if you allow notifications, the app will send you reminders and updates on your various streaks making it easy to see how you are getting on with that daily meditation, piano practice, or evening walks.
