Mood D (iOS 8+) – Khuyen Vo on iTunes
Khuyen contacted me some time ago and asked me to take a look at the Mood D app. This app allows you to track how you’re feeling during the day by choosing one of 6 moods. If you have some spare time or need some motivation then the app will suggest some tasks for you ranging from the simple (“Play with your pet”) to more complex (“Plan a trip to the Maldives”). The app also contains a basic note taking section for you to jot down memories for each day.
Goal Tracker & Habit List (Android 4+) – Intrasoft on GooglePlay
If you’re on Android then this app will track all of your goals and habits in one place. You can view each goal you’d like to track in a list view or calendar overview. You can set recurring reminders and how long you want the goal to last. This app is perfect if you want to remind yourself to exercise, or just take a break and meditate for 10 minutes.
