Oniontape

A mood log that takes five seconds

Most mood-tracking apps ask too much, so you stop after a week. This one is a single tap. Pick the face that matches how you feel, add a word if you want, and you're done. The value isn't any single entry — it's the pattern you see after a month, when the bad Tuesdays and the great weekends start to line up with what was actually going on.

Features

  • One-tap logging on a five-point scale, from 😖 to 😄
  • An optional note for the why behind a mood
  • A running average so you can see your baseline at a glance
  • A breakdown showing how often each mood shows up
  • A dated history of every check-in, newest first
  • Nothing to set up — open it and tap

Getting the most out of it

  1. Log at the same time each day (after dinner is a common anchor) so entries compare.
  2. Keep notes short and concrete — "slept badly," "good call with mom."
  3. Don't judge the number. The goal is to notice patterns, not to score yourself.
  4. After a few weeks, scan the history for what reliably lifts or drains you.

Customize after copying

  • Add a sleep field (hours) and look for a correlation with your mood
  • Track energy separately from mood — they don't always move together
  • Add tags like work, social, or health to group what drives each day
  • Record the weather to test whether grey days really get to you
  • Add a gratitude field for one good thing, regardless of the score
