Baseline: a better journal helps you understand what you’re feeling by providing a distraction-free journaling space and mood tracker. Write whenever you want, rate your mood on two scales, and attach photos or screenshots to capture moments. Your data is encrypted and private, with in-app passphrase protection so no one else on your device can read it.

In addition to journaling, Baseline offers weekly mental health surveys, visualizations to spot trends, reminders to stay on track, and a secure way to store everything. The app also features the Baseline Gap Fund to help cover financial gaps. Best of all, Baseline is free forever.

User Reviews

Users praise Baseline for its simple, free, ad-free journaling and straightforward mood tracking with weekly insights, plus privacy-oriented features like open source and encryption. Recurring concerns center on data reliability, with multiple reports of entries (and audio) being deleted without warning, and occasional save/sync bugs. Overall, it’s highly valued for easy mood tracking, but data-loss issues undermine long-term trust.

Pros

Simple, clean, and easy-to-use interface.
Free with no ads and no subscription required.
Effective mood tracking with a -5 to 5 scale and quick journaling.
Weekly mood summaries and mental health resources.
Privacy-focused: open source and encrypted.

Cons

Data loss: text entries can be deleted without warning.
Data loss: audio recordings can be erased due to connectivity bugs or offline issues.

The app is very useful in prompting me to express myself authentically.

Try to add hourly logging reminders (my only reason for downloading this app) and as soon as you add the 11th, the first one is DELETED without warning. Yes, really. I don’t know about others but I am usually awake more than 10 hours a day so afaik a micro-journal app that fails to support the most basic use case it was made for is a colossal FAIL.
