Moody — a low-attention mood check-in
A personal product exploration built around one question a day. I wanted the check-in to take a few seconds, then let people put the app down.
My role
Product direction, interaction design, visual system and a working front-end prototype, developed with an AI-assisted workflow.
The design
Five named faces fit one thumb row. One tap saves, and the picker remains available to correct a mis-tap. There is no streak or score, and skipped days remain empty rather than being treated as failures.
Today, Patterns and You keep the navigation short. The pattern view describes associations without claiming to know their cause. Sleep, movement and other contextual numbers are sample data; no health service is connected.
I designed empty, loading, error and permission states as well as the main screens. The chosen mood has a changed drawing and fill, so colour is not the only signal. The cat reflects the selected mood without covering a control.
Where it stands
A working browser prototype, not a released native app. No interviews, usability testing or real users. All moods, dates and numbers shown are sample data. Moody does not diagnose or treat a health condition.
Pattern views from the concept. All moods and contextual numbers are sample data; no health services are connected.
