Understanding how your day affects your mood is the first step towards a more happy and fulfilling life. But what if you can’t find the energy to start a regular practice of journaling and reflecting? That’s where Daylio comes in, a simple-yet-smart diary app that can be personalised to your needs. All it takes is one minute per day.
Get to know Daylio: By tapping a variety of activity icons instead of writing your thoughts, Daylio gets you into the habit of journaling without adding another time-consuming item to your day.
It turns your short diary entries into insightful statistics: Were you more happy when it was sunny outside, when you were physically active or a major milestone happened? The Statistics tab makes you feel smarter about your daily choices and how they impact your wellbeing.
Improve your tomorrow: If you regularly reflect on your day with the app set up perfectly for you, you’re more likely to be grateful for the good moments in your life and learn how to improve it.
Daylio can help you calm down in a moment of upset and is a safe outlet for your feelings and thoughts that keeps your privacy in mind – all your entries are stored on your device and in your iCloud storage. If desired, bring Daylio along as a therapy companion, so you can discuss any interesting correlations with your practitioner.

Tip: When you start using Daylio, Bednár and Mitrík recommend keeping it simple – stick with one journal entry per day and start with the activity tags that are already available. After a while, you will notice what your needs are and what would be truly meaningful to personalise and track. If you often forget to add your daily entry, consider setting up a Daylio widget on your Home Screen to remind you.
