Day-Rater

Rate your day in seconds. See your patterns at a glance.

DayRater makes daily reflection effortless with our unique vertical slider and premium haptic feedback. One simple interaction reveals profound insights about your emotional patterns.

How it works
Open the app. Drag our vertical slider to rate your day (-2 to +2). Feel the custom haptic feedback. Tap the number to save. Add a reflection note if you want. Done in 10 seconds.

NEW: Deeper insights
A monthly calendar heatmap shows your rated days at a glance — swipe between months to spot patterns you'd never notice day-to-day. Day-of-week analysis reveals which days tend to be your best and worst. Streak records track your current run and personal best.

NEW: App lock PIN
Set a 4-digit PIN to protect your reflections. Unlike device-level app locks, this works even if someone knows your iPhone passcode — ideal for shared households. PIN-only by design, no biometric bypass.

Home screen widgets
Add DayRater to your home screen. The small widget shows today's rating, color-coded and clear. The medium widget adds your current streak — a quiet motivator that rewards consistency. Widgets update the moment you save a rating.

Daily reminders
Turn on a gentle evening reminder in Settings. DayRater will ask "How was your day?" at a time you choose. No pressure, no guilt — just a nudge to take 10 seconds for yourself.

Why DayRater is different
Most mood trackers overwhelm you with questions, prompts, and notifications. DayRater liberates you with thoughtful constraints. One rating per day creates focus, not limitation.
