ADHD mood tracker

An ADHD mood tracker lives or dies on friction. If logging takes effort or punishes a missed day, it gets abandoned. Andy keeps each entry to one tap, makes reminders optional, and treats gaps as expected rather than as a broken streak to feel bad about. Everything is designed so the easiest version of the habit is also the one worth keeping, which is the only version that actually lasts with ADHD in the picture.

1)Low friction is the whole point

A single tap on a five-point scale is something you can finish before getting distracted. There is no required note, no multi-step form, and no setup before you can log, so the action is over almost as soon as it starts.

Because the action is so small, it survives the days when starting anything feels hard. The lower the bar to log, the more likely the habit actually forms instead of becoming one more thing you meant to keep up with.

2)Reminders that nudge, not nag

Optional reminders help when forgetting is the main obstacle. Use one daily nudge while the habit forms, then mute it once checking in feels automatic. The reminder is a scaffold, not a permanent fixture.

If a reminder arrives at a bad moment, dismiss it. The app never adds pressure for a missed entry, and there is no penalty for ignoring it on a day that got away from you.

3)Missed days do not reset you

Gaps are normal with ADHD, so the timeline and charts work fine with them. You can log three days, miss four, and pick back up without rewriting anything or losing what you already captured.

Streaks count attendance, not perfection, so a skipped day does not feel like failing. That framing keeps the tool encouraging instead of becoming another place to fall behind and then avoid.

4)Patterns worth catching with ADHD

Mood, sleep, and focus tend to move together, and ADHD can make those links hard to see in the moment. A few weeks of quick entries make them visible: lower moods clustering after short-sleep nights, or better days lining up with a steadier routine.

You do not have to analyze anything for this to work. The charts assemble themselves from taps you already made, so the insight is a byproduct of a habit that only ever asked for one tap a day.

5)Download Andy

Download Andy from the App Store and start with mood only. Add tags or notes later if you want, but keep the core step a single tap so it stays easy to repeat on a scattered day.
