Mood Check-ins & Breathing Reset

A few seconds of check-in, a few minutes of breathing. Small tools for nervous-system regulation that never leave your device.

Check in without judgment

Pick a mood, add a note if you want, and move on. The log builds a pattern you can review over time.

Guided 4-7-8 breathing

Inhale 4s, hold 7s, exhale 8s — an evidence-based pattern that activates the parasympathetic nervous system.

Regulation when you need it

Quick ideas for grounding: cold water, 5-4-3-2-1, bilateral movement, slow exhales.

Common questions

Is this a medical device?

No. Daybook is a wellbeing tool, not a medical or therapeutic device. Seek professional help for clinical concerns.

Is my mood data private?

Yes — stored locally only. No server, no tracking.

How long is a breathing cycle?

One full 4-7-8 cycle is 19 seconds. Repeat 3–5 cycles when you need to settle.
