about moodlog

the short version: we help you see your own patterns.

what this is

moodlog is a journaling app that uses nlp to detect emotions in your writing. you write a few sentences about your day, and a fine-tuned roberta model tags the emotions for you. over time, you start to see patterns you wouldn't catch on your own.

it's built on plutchik's wheel of emotions - eight primary emotions that can combine into more complex feelings. the idea is that if you track these consistently, you get a real picture of how you're doing. not a vibe check. actual data.

how it started

built by a bu graduate computer science student who wanted a better way to understand their own head. most mood trackers ask you to pick an emoji or rate your day 1-10. that never felt like enough.

moodlog started as a research project and turned into something people actually use. it's currently in a research preview - we're working with students, researchers, and early supporters to make it better.

how it works

the short version:

moodlog is a self-reflection tool, not a diagnostic one. it doesn't replace therapy, clinical diagnosis, or professional mental health care. if you're in crisis, please reach out to a qualified provider or emergency services.
