A daily log for the days your mood chart app feels like homework
Most mood apps want a lot from you: journaling prompts, meditation streaks, twenty questions a day. But the days that matter most to record — the depressive stretches, the sped-up weeks — are exactly the days a demanding app gets abandoned.
Ebb was built around that reality. You name what you want to track — mood, energy, sleep, anxiety — rate each one 1 to 5, add a note if you want, and you're done. Thirty seconds, even on the worst days.

Two reasons, and both are practical, not aspirational:
- Appointments. A psychiatric visit often starts with "how have you been since last time?" — and memory is a poor witness, especially across mood states. A trend chart of the last three months answers honestly, and Ebb exports to PDF so you can hand your psychiatrist a real record.
- Patterns. Sleep changes often move before mood does. Tiny consistent logs — not perfect ones — are how you and your care team spot an episode building early, or see whether a medication change actually helped.
What makes tracking sustainable
The tracker you'll still be using in six months is the one that costs the least energy. Ebb keeps the cost low on purpose:
- One screen, minimal taps. No navigating menus to log.
- Your words, not a diagnosis template. Track mood, energy, sleep, anxiety, irritability, side effects — or anything you name yourself.
- A gentle daily reminder at whatever time works for your body.
- Missed days don't break anything. No streaks, no guilt — and you can go back and fill in a missed day whenever you want.
- Private by default. Your health data stays on your device.
Free tier: track up to 5 symptoms with full logging, history, and 7-day trends.
Premium: unlimited symptoms, full trend charts, and PDF/CSV export for appointments.
Also living with a chronic physical illness?
Mood and body aren't separate ledgers. Many people track pain or fatigue right alongside mood and sleep in the same 30-second log — Ebb doesn't care what your diagnosis is, it tracks whatever matters to you.

Ebb is a diary, not a treatment. It doesn't diagnose, doesn't give advice, and is not a substitute for your psychiatrist, therapist, or crisis support. If you're in crisis, please reach out to the people and services that can actually be there — in the US, you can call or text 988.
Common questions
What can I track for bipolar disorder?
Anything you name — commonly mood, energy, sleep quality, anxiety, irritability, racing thoughts, and medication side effects. You rate each one 1 to 5 and can add one short note for the day.
Is Ebb a medical or therapy app?
No. Ebb is a private self-rating diary, not a medical device — it doesn't diagnose, give advice, or replace your psychiatrist, therapist, or crisis resources. It just helps you remember how the days actually went.
Is Ebb free?
Yes. The free tier lets you track up to 5 symptoms with full daily logging, complete history, 7-day trends, a daily reminder, and CSV export. Premium ($4.99/month or $29.99/year) adds unlimited symptoms, full trend ranges, and doctor-ready PDF reports.
Can I bring this to my psychiatrist?
Yes. "How have you been since last time?" is a hard question to answer from memory. Premium exports a PDF of the period you choose — 30 or 90 days, 6 months, or your full history — with a trend chart per symptom plus your daily ratings and notes (see a real sample). Free exports your full history as CSV.
