MoodSpace helps children check in with how they feel — and gives parents a gentle, private way to notice, understand, and stay close. Here's everything the app does.
Download it on your phone or tablet to get started.
The daily ritual
The heart of MoodSpace — a warm, thirty-second habit that turns "how was your day?" into something a child actually wants to answer.
Pick from six friendly moods, set how strongly you feel it, and add an optional note. No essays, no pressure — just a tap and a tone.
Every check-in is saved to a clear timeline and a colourful week-at-a-glance view of moods and notes.
Consecutive check-in days build a streak, with gentle 7-day and 30-day milestones — never a punishment for missing one.
A private journalling space where a child can write reflections in their own words, saved just for them.
A parent-set, gentle daily nudge to check in — at a time that fits your family's rhythm.
Cheerful sound effects and confetti animations make every check-in and reward feel like a small win.
Motivation & rewards
A positive-only points economy that celebrates showing up and pitching in — never a system for taking points away.
Check-ins earn points that build toward parent-set goals — from a movie night to a bigger treat — then get redeemed.
Tiered badges mark milestones — first check-in, streaks, consistency — collected over time.
Parent-created daily and weekly chores that reward real-world helping-out with points, with a simple "done → approve" flow. Strictly additive — no penalties, ever.
A shared goal that pools points from every participating sibling into one bar — any of them can redeem it.
A live progress bar on the child's home screen showing points earned today from check-ins and chores — always completable.
Staying connected
Family-only messaging with no strangers, no feeds, and no outside contact — just the people who love them.
A one-on-one, end-to-end encrypted chat thread between a child and their parent — text and emoji, family only.
A shared, encrypted family thread with each member's own colour and identity — for co-parents and caregivers too.
A calm, information-first home for parents: recent moods, trends, notes, and quick access to chat — support, not surveillance.
Children personalise their profile picture and choose a playful, teen, or standard look for the whole app.
Delight & coping
The features that make MoodSpace feel like a friend — and give kids simple tools to steady themselves.
A named, animated companion that greets your child, reflects warmly on each check-in, celebrates rewards, and chats when tapped. It only ever supports — it never guilts or suffers.
Simple calming tools — guided breathing patterns, a 5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercise, and a feelings guide. Supportive coping skills, never presented as therapy.
Understanding & guidance
Premium turns daily check-ins into understanding — patterns to notice, words to say, and a whole family in the loop.
Weekly and monthly summaries, mood-over-time charts, day-of-week patterns, and full history you can export as a PDF for a GP or counsellor.
A gentle early-warning notification when something shifts — like several low-mood days in a row — linking straight to help resources.
Mood-specific response suggestions after each check-in, conversation starters based on recent trends, and warm, practical guidance for supporting each feeling.
A Sunday summary of the week's moods and streaks, plus one suggested conversation to have together.
Private notes you add to your child's timeline ("started a new school") that appear alongside their mood trends.
Add up to seven children and up to six adults — co-parents, grandparents, and caregivers — each with the right permission level. Free families include one child and one parent.
MoodSpace deals with the feelings of children and teens — so safety and privacy aren't features, they're the foundation. These protections are always on, for every family, free of charge.
Chats are encrypted so conversations stay strictly between your family.
Support and crisis pointers are built in and never hidden behind a paywall.
Family-only messaging, no social feeds, no advertising, and no data sold — ever.
Parental gates and consent flows meet Google Play Families and COPPA standards.
MoodSpace is built for families who want practical, kind, and sustainable routines that support communication when life gets busy.
