How does an AI mood tracker work?
You log mood and energy daily on a simple scale, optionally adding a note or voice entry. AI detects sentiment and emotional tags from your entries, then finds correlations with your habits, sleep and activity, shown as 30-day trend charts.
Why does mood tracking actually help?
Day to day, patterns are invisible. Over weeks, charts reveal what lifts you and what drains you, so you can act with data instead of guessing. Naming emotions also reduces their intensity, which is why journaling helps.
What can AI mood analysis show me?
A sentiment score per entry, recurring emotional tags, and links like "your mood dips on low-sleep days" or "exercise days score higher" — turning scattered feelings into a clear picture.
Is my mood data private?
In Aura, yes: mood and journal data is encrypted, never sold, GDPR-compliant, and deletable anytime. A mood tracker is a self-awareness tool, not a medical diagnosis.
