Background
Most mental health support at school is set up for serious situations, and you have to book an appointment. Most students won’t do that for normal, everyday stress. I wanted to make something quick and anonymous they could use on any day.
How it works
You start by joining a group, like your school. A check-in takes about a minute. You say whether your mood is positive or negative, pick a word that describes it, and write how it feels.
There’s a prompt in the morning to set an intention for the day, and one in the evening to look back on it. There’s also a streak counter and a map of anonymous check-ins from other students. You don’t need an account or a name, and crisis hotlines are linked in the app.
Study
MoodMeter is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We’re running a study with groups of students through January 2027 to see how much it helps.
