    So I’ve been thinking about trying out one of those apps that help you track your mood throughout the day, especially because I often feel like my energy and emotions shift a lot depending on sleep, work, or even weather. I heard there’s one that uses facial recognition and body signals through your phone’s camera. Not sure how that would work in real life though — like, can it really notice when I’m feeling stressed or tired just from a short video or selfie? Has anyone used something like that? I’m not looking for anything medical or too invasive, just curious if it’s something that could realistically give you insights without having to journal everything manually

    I’ve been using something similar for a couple of weeks now, just out of curiosity, and I think it works well as a reflective tool — not because it tells you exactly how you feel, but because it gives you a moment to stop and actually look at yourself. The camera scans are surprisingly fast, and they don’t really interrupt your day. What I noticed is that even if the app doesn’t always get my mood spot on, the feedback makes me think about what might be going on underneath. Like, one day it showed signs of tension when I felt “”fine,”” but I later realized I was actually holding stress in my shoulders and clenching my jaw. It’s more about awareness than accuracy, in a way. I wouldn’t rely on it to tell me how to feel, but it’s like a digital nudge to check in with myself. And having a visual log over time is more interesting than I expected — kind of like flipping through a calendar of your internal weather.

    Yes, I’ve actually tried an app recently that does just that — no journaling, no rating your mood manually. It basically asks you to take a short video of yourself, just a few seconds, and then analyzes micro-expressions, posture, and even voice tone if you’re speaking. Based on that, it gives you some feedback about your emotional state. What’s interesting is that over time, it can notice patterns and trends — like if you tend to feel more drained in the evenings or more anxious before meetings. It doesn’t diagnose or anything, but it gives you a visual mood graph that updates with each check-in. If you’re interested in a more automated, camera-based solution, you might want to check out this liven app review which goes into the actual mechanics and how the app gathers and presents the data. Personally, I found it helpful to see a kind of emotional timeline, even if I didn’t always agree with what it detected. It feels more like a mirror than a measurement
