Moodset
Moodset is an advanced mood-tracking application designed to help users understand and manage their emotions by integrating music and personal mood logging. Its core goal is to enhance self-awareness
What is Moodset?
Moodset is a mood-tracking app that connects your emotional states with your music listening habits. It lets you log how you're feeling and see patterns in your emotions over time, with the added dimension of understanding how music relates to your mood. The app uses a visual mood map based on psychological research to categorise emotions, and it can automatically detect the mood of songs you're listening to. This makes it useful for anyone wanting to understand their emotional patterns better or recognise what triggers certain feelings. The free version gives you access to mood logging and basic tracking, whilst premium features offer more detailed analysis and personalised playlists.
