Mood Intensity Slider: BETR Journal App

Posted Oct 25, 2026

BETR Mood Check-in App: How Strong Is the Feeling? 🌗 Most mood trackers stop at the emotion: tap "happy" or "sad" and move on. But a slightly low day and a really heavy one aren't the same. For BETR we added an intensity step and let the character show the difference. Happy: drag from Mild to Intense and the sun goes from a soft smile to a wide grin to a full laugh, squashing and bouncing at every step. Sad: the same slider takes the blob from a small frown to closed eyes to tears, sinking lower as the feeling gets heavier. The interaction stays simple on purpose: one slider, three stops and a face that reacts instantly. Putting a number on a feeling is hard, so the character does the explaining and the slider colour shifts with each mood. How would you show the intensity of a feeling in an app?
