How often should I log my mood?

Once a day is enough to see patterns. Log more often on days when your mood swings. A daily reminder helps you keep the habit.

Consistency matters more than detail. A one-tap entry every day tells you more than a long entry once a week.

Pick a fixed time, for example before bed. Set it in Settings > Reminder.
On busy days, log only the mood. Everything else is optional.
Missed a day? Tap that day in the calendar and add it later.
Want to catch ups and downs within a day? Add several entries. The calendar shows the day's average.
