Private mood tracker

A mood tracker only works if you still open it on a tired Tuesday. DayBloq is built around that constraint: pick a color, tap today, done. Notes and stickers are optional. The year view is a heatmap, not a feed.

DayBloq is a journaling tool. It is not therapy, diagnosis, or a medical device. If you are in crisis, contact local emergency services or a licensed professional.

Mood tracking without a blank page

Most people abandon written diaries because a blank page asks for sentences. A Year in Pixels asks for a color. That is enough to keep a daily record; the note field is there on the days you actually have something to say.

• One tap fills the pixel for today.
• The same color key all year so patterns are comparable.
• Optional text, stickers, and extra journals (habits, gratitude, symptoms you track for yourself).

Why “private” is part of the product

Mood logs are easy to over-share with a cloud you did not mean to join. DayBloq stores journal data locally on your device. The website you are reading is separate: it may use analytics and a contact form — details on the privacy page.

Local-first means a lost phone can lose the journal unless you keep your own backup. That tradeoff is explicit. We would rather you own the file than silently upload it.

How this differs from Daylio-style apps

Apps like Daylio are excellent at fast emoji logs and stats. DayBloq is closer to a digital bullet journal: the Year in Pixels grid is the main object, and decoration (stickers, covers, templates) is part of the ritual. Choose Daylio if you want activity correlation charts. Choose DayBloq if you want a visual spread you would have drawn on paper.

A simple daily flow

1. Open the journal.
2. Pick the color that fits today — not yesterday's story.
3. Tap the pixel.
4. Add a one-line note only if the day needs context.

After a month, scroll the heatmap before you add new colors to the key. The grid will tell you if your legend is too fine-grained.
