Your mindfulness journal on iOS

One plus.
One minus.
Your day.

HappySad is the simplest mindfulness journal for your iPhone. Type or speak — two seconds, every day.

Three things, nothing else

Small enough to fit every single day.

No anxiety-inducing streaks. No 17-slider mood matrix. Just what actually helps.

Type or speak

In bed, in the car, on a walk — just say how it was. HappySad transcribes on-device.

Your mood, visible

A gentle heatmap shows what your weeks really felt like. Patterns surface — no spreadsheet required.

Made for everyone

VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, high contrast, reduced motion. Four languages — German, English, Spanish, Arabic (RTL).

Privacy

Stays with you. Promise.

Your journal entries are private. Period. HappySad needs no account, no cloud, no trackers.

  • Every entry is end-to-end encrypted and stored directly on your iPhone.
  • Speech recognition runs on-device — no audio ever leaves your phone.
  • No tracking, no ads, no analytics SDKs. Never.
  • iCloud sync is opt-in — and uses Apple's end-to-end encryption.
  • GDPR-compliant. EU servers (if you choose to sync).
Accessibility

A journal for everyone.

HappySad is built accessible from day one — not bolted on. Because mindfulness should be available to everyone.

  • Full VoiceOver support — every entry and every stat reads cleanly.
  • Dynamic Type up to the largest iOS sizes — everything stays readable.
  • High-contrast mode and reduced transparency are respected.
  • "Reduce Motion" removes all animations automatically.
  • Fully translated to 4 languages: Deutsch, English, Español, العربية (with RTL).
  • Meets WCAG 2.2 AA — working toward AAA.
