What mood scale does Pixy use? Can I create custom moods?

Partly

Pixy uses a fixed 7-step scale: Excellent, Very Good, Good, Neutral, Not so good, Very Bad, and Terrible. You cannot add or rename moods. Emotions and tags let you describe the day in more detail.

A fixed scale keeps every day comparable, so charts and your year in pixels stay readable over years.

To describe a feeling more precisely, add emotions. Pixy has 72.
To change the colors of the scale, open Settings > Appearance > Colors.
Want a different scale? Request it in Settings > Feedback > Request Feature.

Exist
- Why are scale values 1-9?
  We use a 1-9 scale rather than 1-10 because this means there's a value (5) that sits exactly in the middle of the scale. If we used 1-10, there would be no exact middle value.
iMoodJournal
- Can I customize labels or colors on mood scale to accommodate it to my emotions?
  Yes, you can do this using the option “Moods” in Settings. However, we encourage you to treat the scale as a characteristic of your general wellbeing and make notes about emotions using hashtags like #angry or #cheerful.
