The app presents timelines, weekly trends, a monthly calendar, a yearly heatmap, and a mood stability score. AI features provide plain-language feedback, weekly summaries, activity-mood correlations, and personalized recommendations. Habit tools include streaks, reminders, milestones, progress statistics, and searchable journal history. The free plan includes unlimited mood logging, basic insights, 90 days of history, CSV export, streak tracking, and three AI insights. Pro adds unlimited AI insights, yearly trend analysis, PDF export, unlimited history, and priority support. Monthly Pro costs $1.99 a month, yearly costs $14.99 a year, and Lifetime Pro costs $39.99, paid once. Moodflow is made by a Spain-based company.

Skrive is a daily journal built around one plain-text entry per day. Users can browse entries by date and search the full text of their journal history. The free app does not limit how much users can write, and entries are saved locally first, so writing and reading can continue offline or when the cloud service is unavailable. Skrive is available for macOS, iOS, and Android, and entries can be exported as JSON or plain text. Before transmission, entries are encrypted on the device with AES-256 using a key controlled by the user. The maker says encrypted backups are stored on servers in the EU. Skrive Pro adds encrypted cloud backup and sync across devices; it is listed at $3.99 a month. The encryption passphrase cannot be recovered if lost, and entries may become inaccessible after signing out, changing devices, or reinstalling the app. The maker is based in Oslo, Norway. The product has a free plan and a 14-day trial.
