You mark how you are
Two drags. One says how your mood is, the other says how much energy you have left. All from the icon in the menu bar, with no window to open.
what you say matters. when you say it matters too.
Say how you arewithout saying anything
You mark how you are with two quick drags, straight from your menu bar. The people you choose can see it, and you can see how they are. There is no feed, no likes and no ranking.

Nine seconds a day
That is the whole app. You open it, drag twice and close it.
The people you chose can see
Only them. You keep family, work and friends apart, and you can show something different to each group.
And you see how they are
In the same way and at the same size, with no numbers at all. One glance tells you how five people are before you even read a name.
It is about timing
Almost everything goes through written messages now, and a written message has no voice and no face. What disappeared is exactly what we used to read to sense when to speak. moodyne hands a little of that back, off to the side of the conversation.
To know that now is the moment
They are on good form. This is when you invite them out, ask for the favour, or send the idea you had been sitting on.
To leave it until tomorrow
It is a slow day on the other side, and the subject can easily wait. Nobody needs to know you nearly called.
To read a flat “ok” properly
That “ok” stops being a puzzle you turn over all afternoon. It is just someone who was up at five in the morning.
It is a small detail. And it is exactly the kind of small detail that changes the mood of a whole day.
You only see people who also see you
In moodyne nobody follows someone without being followed back. This is not just a rule we ask you to respect. The system was built in a way that simply does not allow the opposite.
- There is no such thing as following someone one way only
- If you undo a connection, it drops for both people at the same time
- Invitations are a link, so we never ask for access to your contacts
- It works well with a handful of close people, not with a whole team
What moodyne does not do
A good part of this project is the list of things we decided not to do. It is here because it is what keeps the app honest. Almost every decision on this list came from a research finding, including the findings that argue against our own idea.
- It does not guess your moodWhat a computer can notice is your work rhythm, not what you feel. Saying we know how you are would be a lie, so we don't say it.
- There is no streak counterNo flames, no badges and no guilt for missing a day. When there is a streak to protect, on a bad day people log what keeps the streak alive instead of what they actually feel.
- It shows no score to anyonePeople who see you see a shape and a colour, never a number like four out of seven. Numbers invite comparison, and comparison ruins the whole thing.
- It never puts people in orderThe list is never sorted by who is doing better or worse. If it were, your circle would turn into a scoreboard.
- It is not a medical deviceIt does not diagnose anything, does not treat anything and does not replace professional care. If you are going through something hard, please look for real help.
- There are no trackers and no adsThere is no audience analytics either. That is why this site does not need a cookie banner.
