Bipolar mood tracker

Tracking mood over time is part of how many people and their clinicians manage bipolar disorder. A bipolar mood tracker is most useful when entries are consistent, so Andy keeps each one to a quick tap you can repeat daily without it becoming a chore. The aim is a steady record you can actually maintain, not a perfect one you give up on after a hard fortnight.

1)Consistent daily entries over perfect ones

Patterns only show up when entries are regular. A long nightly form is hard to sustain across shifting energy, so Andy reduces logging to one tap with optional context. A consistent rough record beats a detailed one you abandon after a fortnight.

Logging at a steady time each day, such as before bed, keeps entries comparable week to week rather than scattered across whenever you happened to remember. That regularity is what makes a longer view trustworthy.

2)Reviewing shifts across weeks and months

Weekly and monthly charts make longer swings easier to see than memory allows. The timeline shows specific dates when you want to connect a stretch to sleep, events, travel, or routine changes around it.

Bringing that history to an appointment can replace I think it was a rough month with concrete entries a clinician can read. A picture of the last several weeks is often more useful in session than trying to reconstruct it on the spot.

Switching between the weekly and monthly view changes what you notice. The weekly chart highlights short swings and recent days, while the monthly view flattens the noise and shows the broader direction. Looking at both before an appointment gives you a fuller sense of the stretch you want to discuss.

3)A tool, not a diagnosis

Andy logs and reviews mood. It does not diagnose bipolar disorder, detect episodes, or replace clinical care. Diagnosis and treatment decisions stay with a qualified professional who knows your full history.

If you are in crisis, contact local emergency services or a crisis line rather than an app. A tracker is there to support care between appointments, not to stand in for it when things get serious.

4)Therapy and export

If you bring history to therapy, export a file you control or show charts in session. You decide what to share and when.

Andy is a logging tool, not a substitute for professional care. It supports honest review alongside treatment you already trust.

5)Download Andy

Download Andy from the App Store and log daily for a few weeks so the charts have enough entries to be worth reviewing with your clinician. Early on, aim for consistency rather than detail.
