SmartMood applies the best research technique for tracking happiness, the Experience Sampling Method, developed by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi at Claremont Graduate University in the 1980s. It sends you random notifications throughout the day asking you how you are feeling, as well as a short survey with predefined questions as well as any question you decide to add. With time, you accumulate information on what affects your mood and you can look for correlations.
With the app, you can:
- Integrate with the Health app (HealthKit) in order to import sleep and exercise data tracked by wearable devices like the Apple Watch and see how those affect your mood.
- Keep track of your personality with Big Five personality tests
- Automatically track how your location and the weather affect your mood
- Add any question you want to the survey
- Access all of your information anywhere, by downloading it as a CSV file and sending it to your email
- And more!
