Emote is a simple tool for maintaining a record of emotions throughout your day. Over time, keeping such a log can help to identify trends and triggers that cause emotions that may affect your overall mental health.
Permissions are kept to an absolute minimum, and all data is securely stored locally on your device. There is no outbound internet requests made, and notifications are set up and triggered locally, not using a cloud service.
Your data is your data. You can export your database of checkins at any time from the settings page.
