Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about MoodGrade — from getting started with mood tracking to understanding our privacy practices and premium features.
Getting Started
What is MoodGrade and how does it work?
MoodGrade is a comprehensive mood tracking and journaling app that helps you understand your emotional patterns. You log daily check-ins with your mood (choosing from 52 distinct emotions), sleep quality, energy levels, and optional journal notes. Over time, MoodGrade identifies patterns and correlations in your data to help you build better self-awareness and emotional intelligence.
How do I start tracking my mood with MoodGrade?
Create a free account on moodgrade.com, then complete your first mood check-in by selecting an emotion, rating your energy and sleep, and optionally adding a journal note. You can also install MoodGrade from a supported browser as a Progressive Web App.
Is MoodGrade available on iOS, Android, and web?
MoodGrade is currently available as a web app at moodgrade.com. It can be installed from supported mobile browsers as a Progressive Web App, but account access and web sync still require an internet connection. Native store releases are not currently advertised.
Do I need to create an account to use MoodGrade?
Yes. An account is required for product data, history, summaries, and premium export. You can sign up with email or Google.
Features
What are the 52 emotions in MoodGrade?
MoodGrade offers a granular emotion wheel with 52 distinct labels, including serene, nostalgic, restless, overwhelmed, grateful, melancholic, and energized. The labels help you describe a check-in more precisely than a simple happy-or-sad scale; they do not diagnose an emotional or medical condition.
How do pattern summaries work?
MoodGrade summarizes relationships in the mood, sleep, energy, and routine data you choose to record. These summaries support personal reflection; they are not medical advice and do not establish causation.
Can I track medication alongside my mood?
Yes. MoodGrade lets you record medication names, dosages, reminders, and adherence beside mood entries. These records can support a conversation with a qualified healthcare provider; MoodGrade does not interpret medication effects or provide treatment advice.
Does MoodGrade support journaling and reflection prompts?
Yes. Mood check-ins include an optional journal area, and the product can provide reflection prompts to help you begin writing. Prompts are informational and are not therapy or medical guidance.
Can I set reminders for daily check-ins?
Yes. MoodGrade has a flexible reminder system that lets you set custom notification times for daily mood check-ins, medication doses, and journaling sessions. Reminders work through the PWA notification system, and you can configure quiet hours to avoid disturbance during sleep or focus time.
Privacy and Security
Is my mood data private and secure?
MoodGrade stores web product data on private infrastructure and transmits it over HTTPS with authenticated access controls. We do not sell personal journal data or use private entries to train AI models. Limited processors used for authentication, billing, error reporting, and optional mobile ads are disclosed in the Privacy Policy.
Does MoodGrade sell my data or use it for advertising?
MoodGrade does not sell personal mood or journal data. Plausible measures aggregate activity on public pages, and journal content is not used to target ads. An officially released free mobile client may use AdMob subject to device consent, as disclosed in the Privacy Policy.
Can I export or delete all my data?
Yes. The mobile client provides a local JSON export without a subscription, and premium web plans add formatted CSV/PDF exports. You can delete Moodgrade product data at any time. The shared sign-in identity used by other products is not deleted by Moodgrade's product-data control.
Pricing and Premium
Is MoodGrade free to use?
Yes. MoodGrade has a free tier for core tracking and journaling. Premium unlocks longer-range summaries and CSV/PDF export.
What does MoodGrade Premium include?
MoodGrade Premium adds longer-range pattern review and data export in PDF and CSV formats. Premium is currently offered monthly or yearly.
Can I cancel my premium subscription anytime?
Yes. Monthly or yearly subscriptions can be cancelled through the billing provider. Access continues according to the billing provider's current subscription terms.
Technical
Does MoodGrade work offline?
MoodGrade is installable as a Progressive Web App and can queue a limited set of actions when connectivity is interrupted. Account access, most product features, and web synchronization require an internet connection.
How do I install MoodGrade on my phone?
Use your browser's Add to Home Screen or Install App option. Installation creates an app-like shortcut; it does not make every product feature available offline.
Is MoodGrade a replacement for therapy?
No. MoodGrade is a wellness tracker and journaling tool designed to support self-awareness and emotional reflection. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or therapy. We encourage users to share their mood data and insights with their therapists or healthcare providers as a conversation starter, but MoodGrade does not provide clinical assessments or treatment recommendations.
