A macOS app for journaling
A small place to track
how you feel.
Type a thought. Hit Return. That's it. Tags, trends, on-device AI — quietly waiting if you want them.
A macOS app for journaling
Type a thought. Hit Return. That's it. Tags, trends, on-device AI — quietly waiting if you want them.
Type, hit Return, it's saved with a timestamp. No fields. No prompts. No streak shaming.
Press ⌃⌥M anywhere on your Mac. A spotlight-style bar pops up. Type. Hit Return. Done.
Type #anything and it becomes a tag automatically. The sidebar picks them up. Filter with one click.
Mood over time, rhythm of the day, consistency heatmap. No diagnoses. Just shapes.
A supportive AI you can ask about how you've been feeling. Runs entirely on your Mac via Apple Intelligence. Nothing leaves.
New versions land as an in-app prompt. Click Install. Done. No more re-downloading.
Download the latest mood.zip.
Unzip and drag mood.app into /Applications.
Double-click the app. macOS blocks it with "Apple could not verify…" — click Done to dismiss.
System Settings → Privacy & Security → scroll to Security → click Open Anyway next to mood.
macOS Sequoia removed the older right-click → Open trick for unsigned apps, so System Settings is now the only path. After this one-time approval, mood launches normally every time.
Every entry lives as plain JSON in ~/Library/Application Support/com.tapasya.mood/.
Nothing is uploaded. The AI Chat runs entirely on-device via Apple Intelligence — your journal text never leaves your machine.
Open source under the same roof. Audit the code, fork it, take your data anywhere. github.com/madhupprasad/mood ↗
