Bipolar Mood Tracker

What Bipolar Mood Tracker Is

Bipolar Mood Tracker is a free app for iOS and Android designed specifically for people managing bipolar disorder. The app logs your daily mood highs and lows, lets you add personal notes, and visualizes your mood changes to help you recognize patterns. Available in 11 languages and rated five stars by thousands of users, the service is built around what the company calls the unique needs of people managing bipolar disorder. Unlike general mood trackers that record a single mood per day, Bipolar Mood Tracker uses a dual-mood system that captures both your highest and lowest mood each day, which the company says reflects how bipolar disorder actually works for people managing it.

How the App Works

The dual-mood tracking system is the core of Bipolar Mood Tracker. Each day you record your highest mood and your lowest mood separately. For highs you choose from five levels: Neutral, Happiness, Exuberance, Mania, and Psychotic Mania. For lows you choose from five levels: Neutral, Sadness, Melancholy, Depression, and Psychotic Depression. Each level has its own color, so patterns become visible at a glance on your charts. You can also add personal notes to each day and track custom attributes specific to your experience.

The app then generates reports from your logging history. The insights page brings your data to life with high and low mood charts over time, mood distribution histograms showing which moods appear most often, and a calendar mood grid that shows your full month or year at a glance. You can generate professional PDF or CSV reports directly from the app to share with your doctor or psychiatrist, with or without your personal notes included.

Beyond mood itself, you can create and track your own custom attributes. This means you can log symptoms, medications, sleep disturbance, exercise, stress levels, or anything else that matters to your experience with bipolar disorder. The company's help text specifically names symptoms and medications as examples. By tracking these alongside your mood, you can discover personal patterns and triggers that are unique to how your bipolar disorder manifests.

The app includes reminder features to help you stay consistent with logging. You can set daily, weekly, or custom reminders so you do not miss a journal entry. For motivation, the app also includes achievement milestones for tracking streaks and total entries so you can celebrate building the habit of self-monitoring.

Logging itself is fast. The company states you can track your day in under 30 seconds by selecting today's date or any past date, choosing your highest mood level, choosing your lowest mood level, and optionally adding notes and custom attributes.

What the App Publicly States

All your journal entries are stored locally on your device. The app does not share your journal's content with external servers or third parties. If you want an added layer of security, you can lock the app with Face ID or fingerprint biometric lock. The company emphasizes that only you can access your journal on your device.

The core features of the app are completely free: daily mood logging for both highs and lows, notes, basic charts, and a limited number of custom attributes. The company does offer an optional premium upgrade, available for a stated price, which unlocks longer chart ranges, unlimited custom attributes, PDF report generation, biometric lock, and additional features.

Bipolar Mood Tracker is available on both iOS via the App Store and Android via Google Play. The app is supported in 11 languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Swedish, Dutch, Russian, Norwegian, Danish, and Chinese.

The company states in its FAQ that it has thousands of 5-star reviews and is trusted by thousands of users. User testimonials on the captured page include quotes describing the app as a game changer for managing bipolar symptoms, with one user noting that their psychiatrist loves the app and recommends it to all their patients. Another testimonial states the app is a key piece of their daily mental health toolbox and has granted them enormous insight into patterns after seven months of use.

What Bipolar Mood Tracker Does Not Disclose

The captured pages do not list an overall price for the premium subscription or specify how much longer the chart ranges extend with the premium tier. While the company states that premium is available and names what it includes, the specific cost is not published on the pages you can access without downloading the app.

There is no published information about insurance acceptance or whether the service is covered by any mental health benefits plans. The app appears to operate on a direct-pay model if you choose to use premium features.

The pages do not detail the PDF report features beyond stating that you can generate reports with or without your personal notes. Specifics like whether you can select date ranges for reports, whether graphs are included, or what the formatting looks like are not described.

The app does not mention any clinical research or outcome studies demonstrating its effectiveness for managing bipolar disorder. User testimonials and reviews appear frequently on the company's site, but no peer-reviewed research or formal efficacy claims are presented.

Who This App Is For and Not For

Bipolar Mood Tracker is designed for anyone diagnosed with bipolar disorder who wants to track their mood swings and discover their own patterns. The app is particularly useful if you are already working with a psychiatrist or therapist and want to give them detailed documentation of your mood history, since you can generate professional reports directly from the app and share them during appointments. The company explicitly states that users report their psychiatrist loves the app and recommends it to patients, suggesting some clinicians find it valuable for treatment planning.

The free tier is accessible to anyone without cost. If you are trying an app for the first time or want to see if tracking helps you, you can log your mood indefinitely at no charge. The option for premium features is available if you want longer chart ranges or unlimited custom attributes, but the free tier is fully usable for tracking.

The app is not for people seeking live clinical support or therapy. Bipolar Mood Tracker is a self-tracking tool, not a treatment service. The company explicitly states that the app is not a replacement for medical treatment and is intended for informational purposes only. It comes with no warranty. If you are experiencing symptoms of an illness you should consult with your doctor, and if you are in an emergency you should dial 911 or your local emergency number immediately.

The app may not be suitable if you want to share your tracking data with multiple family members or if you want real-time feedback from a mental health professional based on your logging. Everything stays private on your device, which is a feature for security but also means you are reviewing your data alone unless you manually generate a report to share.
