Use the slider to choose how you feel. You can also add more specific emotions.
Add mood tracking with templates
Use templates to add a mood prompt to new entries automatically. While editing a template, insert $mood, or use the mood icon in the toolbar.
When you create a new entry, mood tracking is added automatically.
