Best Free Mood Tracker Apps (2026): What's Actually Free, No Subscription
Dieser Artikel ist derzeit nur auf Englisch verfügbar.
Schnelle Antwort
Completely free mood trackers with no subscription: How We Feel (nonprofit, iOS and Android) and Apple's State of Mind in the Health app (iPhone). Apps with a free tier you can use indefinitely: Daylio, Kibun, DailyBean and Finch — logging is free, deeper analysis is paid. If you want zero cost and full control, a printable paper tracker is also free.
How "free" mood tracker apps actually work
Almost every mood tracker is free to download. What differs is what stays free:
- Completely free — no paid tier at all.
- Free tier forever — daily logging stays free; extra features are paid.
- Free trial — the app is paid after a trial, which isn't what most people mean by "free".
Here's where the common apps fall. We make Kibun, so weigh that — the free/paid split for each app is stated as plainly as we can.
Completely free (no subscription at all)
How We Feel
Made by a nonprofit with Yale's Center for Emotional Intelligence. You place your feeling on an energy × pleasantness grid and choose from a large emotion vocabulary; it includes short strategies and patterns over time. No paid tier. Best for: building a precise emotion vocabulary at no cost.
Apple Health — State of Mind (iPhone)
Built into the Health app on recent iOS versions. Log a momentary emotion or a daily mood on a pleasant–unpleasant scale with labels and context. Free and private, but iPhone-only and fairly minimal.
Free tier you can keep using
