Mood graph
Agree
The rating could be develop to make customisable so that instead of rating stars it could be transformed into a mood tracker.
Plus a display yo show values, graphs
Any updates on this?
I think it could be a really cool feature
No updates so far but it's still on my radar.
You are welcome to share how exactly you'd like to see such a feature incorporated in the app and what the user would have to click to access it
There are a few ways that i'd want to access this:
Calendar
A toggle at the top right of Calendar (on desktop) that enables an emoji, star rating, colour bar or something visual to see at a glance
Graph option
On the sidebar, an option to view 'stats'. This could show a rating on the Y axis and dates on the X axis, to plot the ratings along time.
Mobile option
As mobile search and timeline are close to identical, the shortcut could be replaced with statistics, to discover information. I feel the search bar at the top of timeline could be a good place for the new home, or some may want the ability to 'scroll up' to reveal the hidden search bar.
Inspiration from felix
https://howisfelix.today/ is a great project that Felix Krause developed to track days. He offers a variety of good examples of data visualisation on this page.
Maybe the ability to create/export a spreadsheet with the date, rating, and title/headline of each entry? Then we could graph or otherwise look at the data however makes sense for us.
Both the 'graph' and 'mobile' options sound good. I am not sure the 'calendar' option would add a great deal.

Thanks for this ! it's an unusual and really intersting project he has !
timo You are welcome to share how exactly you'd like to see such a feature incorporated in the app
(long review, be ready !)
[EDIT] after reading what I've just posted ... and to put in context : I realised that the text below is what I found missing in Diarium, and is what I found a big STRENGTH in the app I was previously using (Daylio) .. but the BIG STRENGTH I find in Diarium is the Map tagging, the integrations with other apps, the fact that data are located offline on the phone and that you're close to your community ( thanks for what you've done with your app ! following is not an ungreatful criticisme but only in the purpose of helping on improvement)
@timo as you asked ...
I would see graphs / statshaving their own place in the menu (like Calendar or Timeline) with a big focus on the "user friendly visualisation" and not hidden at the end of a submenu, as for some information for nerds
it would have the possibility to view per month, or for the whole year.
it would have this kind of graph to track mood and see how we go so far (sorry my texts are in French .. but I guess should be still ok to understand the general idea)
To see how one evolve over time, a graph like this (with view per month and year, the "longest chain" to motivate us to write on daily basis)
It would also work for tracking evolution of numeral value (weight, money ... etc .. as requested here ) with a possibility to track and achieve goalsPossibility to choose a tag to see how often we use it (as mentioned also here )
a "year in pixel" view to see the evolution of mood (as also asked here) also with possibility to pick another tag or tracker to see when we used it,
the "year in pixel" is a viewing stats only, it would indeed make sens to have the fonction in the search or Calendar section as aked in this request) to click and go directly to the entrie, and could either be color tagged for trackers (mood tracker) like this
Allowing users to link each tag with its emoji would help a lot to show the day with entries with the selected tag on the calendar view
I tried Diarium with tags and trackers and for mood ( as suggested here ) both have their pros and cons :
- trackers are good as they gather several tags (feeling good, bad, etc ..) and I assume they are the best to show evolution on a graph,
- but only tags can have each their own different color, if I do it with tracker, I can't put a different color for each value of the tracker but only one same color for all the value of one tracker,
- also as explained here it's not possible to pick only one value of a tracker to view entries taged with it, but only able to pick the tracker and see all entries that have any value of the tracker.
Interestingly when I imported my previews entries from Daylio, the mood translated as the star system on Diarium (if this can be of any help for you on how to tackle the coding )
Well ..
With all of that ...
Good luck if or when you'll code that !
Thanks a lot for this detailed explanation on how you'd like to see this implemented.
I will have to see how I can implement this nicely. I am not sure yet HOW prominent I would want to show this feature/additional screen in the UI as Diarium doesn't has this as a primary feature the way other apps have it (Diarium is a primarily a journal/diary and not a mood tracker). There are still a lot of decisions to be made and I will make sure to ask for your opinion on this thread once I find the time to start implementing this.
Hi. On the search of the features around rating and tracker I am on this thread.
I found the toggle for on/off of showing the tags on timeline already! But still questioning why rating every entry and track something if there is no possibility to see some kind of diagram.
I came from other journaling app (journalit) just because I missed the audio recording. I'm positively curious about the experience with Diarium.
A very good idea. What's the point of evaluating the days if you can't see them on the diagram?
Agree and like!
agree
I use diarium as a diary for my daughter. I track her weight and height and would love to see her development in a graph.
The x axis for the days and the y axis for the values.
Maybe there could be buttons to select the different trackers that should be shown/unshown.
I use the app since a few days and really love it. I hope I can use it for a long time.
I use the diarium version 3.0.83 for android.

I wrote some basic code that uses the rating and displays a diagram. I will be adding more charts in the next days. If you have any suggestions please let me know.
If you want to try it, you can check it out here:
diarydash.streamlit.app
_ Were you able to import all your journal it entries into diarium ? I have not been able to, but wonder if I am doing something wrong.
I too am trying out diarium because of the audio recordings ! And there are many other features in diarium that are missing in journal it, including the destop app.
