The short answer

There is one number that predicts whether you will still be using a mood tracker in November: how many taps it takes to log a mood. Opening the app is one tap too many.

Cozy ships a Home Screen widget so you can log a mood without opening it.

Why a widget and not a shortcut

A shortcut still means finding the app, waiting for it to launch, and finding the button. A widget is already on the screen, so the gesture survives the moment of actually wanting to record something — which is the only moment that matters.

This is the same reason the companion sits on the home tab: the friction that kills a habit is always in the seconds before it starts, never after.

Where your entries live

  • Entries are local by default
  • Optional encrypted iCloud sync is off by default — bringing your history to a second device is a decision you make, not one you inherit
  • Analytics are anonymous only
  • There is no account

What Premium adds
