MoodSync

Privacy posture

  • Your mood entries stay on your device
  • Optional private iCloud sync between your own devices
  • No MoodSync account, no email signup

A mood tracker holds some of the most sensitive data a person ever writes about themselves. MoodSync is built so that data is yours.

What this means in practice

Mood scores, sleep hours, medication entries, and notes are stored on your device. If you want them on your iPad too, MoodSync can sync them through your own private iCloud — nothing is stored on a MoodSync server. There is no MoodSync account or email signup.

Why we built it this way

NIMH notes that mental health apps have proliferated faster than they have been evaluated, and that data privacy is one of the open concerns2024. Mozilla's Privacy Not Included project has documented patterns of mental health apps sharing user data with third parties2024. The simplest defense for your most sensitive logs is to keep them out of someone else's reach.

The full breakdown — including what we declare on the App Store privacy label and how to opt out of anonymous usage analytics — is on the privacy policy.
