Summary
eMoods, created by Jon Stavis, is a mood tracking application that helps individuals with mood and anxiety disorders like Bipolar, PTSD, and Depression. It allows users to log their symptoms, sleep, medications, and other factors daily. The app visualizes this data in graph form or as printable reports, which can be shared with healthcare providers. This helps in identifying patterns, triggers, and maintaining effective communication with doctors. The app, which began as a hobby project, now has over 50,000 active users and operates on a freemium model.

Unique Aspect
eMoods is distinct for its high regard for privacy, storing all data only on the user's device. It operates without requiring any login, ensuring user confidentiality and comfort, especially considering the sensitive nature of mental health data.

Approach to kick off
The app was born from Jon’s personal journey with Bipolar disorder, initially created to meet his own need for a better understanding and management of his mental health, which then evolved into a tool that resonated with a wider audience.
