A Daylio alternative you talk to
Daylio is a mood tracker where you tap a mood and the activities of your day. VitaMood is a mood journal you speak into: you talk for up to a minute, and the app writes it down and suggests the mood and tags.
How the two apps differ
| Daylio | VitaMood | |
|---|---|---|
| Making an entry | Tap a mood and activities. Add a note, photos or a voice memo if you like. | Talk for up to a minute. The phone turns what you said into text. |
| Mood and tags | You pick them. | Suggested from what you said: a mood score, tags, a one-line summary, and your energy when you mention it. You can correct the mood. |
| Health data | Steps, sleep and exercise time from Apple Health. | With VitaMood Pro: sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, steps, workouts, active energy and respiratory rate from Apple Health or Health Connect, plus mindful minutes and time in daylight on iPhone. |

| Languages | 34 on iPhone. | 21. |
VitaMood suits you if
- You would rather say how the day went than pick it from a list.
- You want your mood next to your sleep, HRV and resting heart rate, day by day.
- You want the recording itself to stay on your phone. The text of what you said is sent to make the summary.
Daylio suits you if
- You want an entry in a few taps, with no speaking.
- You do not want an account, or you want backups of your entries.
- You want a free version with unlimited entries.
How a VitaMood check-in works
- In the evening the app asks "How was today?".
- You talk for up to a minute.
- Your phone turns the audio into text. The audio never leaves the phone.
- You get a mood score, tags and a short summary. With VitaMood Pro they sit next to that day's health readings.
