Kindling: Mood Tracker

Your mood doesn't change randomly. It follows patterns — patterns shaped by the people around you, the connections you make, and the ones you miss.

Kindling is a mood tracker that goes deeper. Track your mood and social energy every day, see how your connections shape how you feel, and get a gentle nudge when you start to drift from the people who matter.

WHY YOUR MOOD CHANGES

Most mood trackers show you WHAT — "you felt sad on Tuesday." Kindling shows you WHY. By tracking your mood alongside your social connections, Kindling reveals patterns like:

"Your mood averages 1.5 higher on days you connect with someone."
"After 3 quiet days, your mood drops an average of 0.9 points."
"You feel best on weeks where you follow through on your social plans."

These aren't guesses. They're your own data, showing you the link between connection and how you feel.

THE WEEKLY PLAN

Every week, spend 5 minutes setting simple social intentions — "call Mum", "coffee with James", "go to the Saturday market." They appear on your home screen all week as gentle, visible accountability. Not a to-do list. A compass.

THE DAILY CHECK-IN

Each day, a quick check-in captures your mood, your social energy, and what actually happened. Meaningful conversations? Time spent with someone? A quiet day? It takes about 90 seconds. Over time, these tiny entries build a picture you can't see any other way.

SOCIAL ENERGY — A DIMENSION NOBODY ELSE TRACKS

Not all social contact is equal. You can be around people all day and still feel empty. Or one good phone call can fill your cup. Kindling tracks your social energy — how nourished you actually feel — separately from your mood. When those two lines diverge on your chart, that's where the insight lives.

GENTLE NUDGES, NOT GUILT TRIPS

If you've gone quiet for a few days, Kindling notices. It might say: "It's been a couple of weeks since you caught up with Sarah. Worth a message?" Never pushy, never guilt-based. Just a warm nudge when you might be starting to drift.
