What is the Mood Tracker?
The Mood Tracker is a simple digital journal for logging one's emotional state. Users can select an emoji that represents their mood for the day, add an optional note for context, and save the entry. The tool keeps a history of these entries and visualizes the mood trends over time in a chart, all while keeping the data private by storing it in the user's browser.
