Daylio shows you what mood you were in. tr8ck shows you why — by connecting your mood to sleep quality, nutrition, exercise, hormonal cycle, and GLP-1 medication through AI that finds patterns in your personal data.
Daylio is best for quick, low-friction mood and micro-habit logging. tr8ck is the better fit if you want mood tracking plus 16 more health modules — sleep, medication, cycle, fasting, nutrition — with AI correlations that show why your mood changes. Free covers 4 modules; Pro is $4.99/mo, Premium $6.99/mo adds AI insights.
Knowing your mood was a 3 out of 5 doesn't help you improve it. Knowing it dropped because of poor sleep, a luteal phase transition, and a GLP-1 injection day — that does.
Daylio built a loyal user base for good reasons. Here's where it excels — and what it fundamentally cannot do.
These are the types of insights tr8ck's AI surfaces after 2–4 weeks of cross-module logging — from your own personal data
"Your mood averages higher on days following 7+ hours of sleep than on days following less than 6 hours. Sleep quality accounts for the largest variance in your mood scores."
"Your mood ratings drop during days 20–26 of your cycle (luteal phase). This pattern has been consistent across your last 3 logged cycles."
"On days when you log 20+ minutes of exercise, your mood score the following day runs higher on average. The effect is strongest after morning workouts in your data."
"Your mood ratings on injection days average lower than your baseline. The dip typically resolves within 24–36 hours based on your logged data."
These are illustrative examples. tr8ck surfaces insights based on your own personal logged data — patterns vary by individual.

Daylio records that you had a bad day. tr8ck identifies that bad days in your data consistently follow nights with under 6 hours of sleep — and that this pattern is stronger than any other variable in your logged data. Now you know what lever to pull. That's the difference between a journal and an insight engine.
"My mood was 3/5 on Tuesday. Logged: worked, watched TV."
"Tuesday low mood followed 5.5h sleep, injection day, no exercise. This pattern appears in 7 of your last 8 similar days."
