Shmoody vs MoodSwings, side by side

Shmoody MoodSwings
Known for Shmoody combines mood check-ins with small habits and practical strategies for getting through a rough stretch. A calm period tracker built around how you actually feel: next-period and cycle-phase estimates, mood and symptom logging in a few taps, PMS patterns over time, and optional partner sharing.
Genuinely better at Giving you something to do about a low mood — actionable tools and habit support alongside the logging. MoodSwings offers no strategies. It shows you how your moods sit against your cycle, and that context is the only thing it adds.
Day to day it feels like A general mood or symptom journal: you record how you feel day to day, with no cycle underneath it unless you add one yourself. One screen, a few taps a day. Dates, mood and symptoms in the same place — and if you want, a partner view where you choose what is visible.

Stay with Shmoody if…

…the tools and the habit side are why you opened it.

We would rather you kept an app that fits than switched and stopped logging after a fortnight. A half-used tracker cannot show you a pattern.
