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 nine friendly moods, from happy and excited to anxious and scared, set how strongly you feel it, and add a note if you like. No essays, no pressure.
A colourful week at a glance, free for everyone. With Premium, the Mood Calendar and full history show the bigger picture, as far back as you like.
Check in on consecutive days to grow your streak fire, and MoodBuddy celebrates every seven days in a row. Missing a day is never a punishment.
A private place to write in your own words, with gentle sentence starters for when the words won't come. Entries are end-to-end encrypted.
A gentle nudge to check in, at a time that fits your family's rhythm.
Streak celebrations, progress popups and cheerful moments when something good happens. Sound effects are there too, off until you switch them on.
Play New
Three gentle games about feelings. No combat, no losing, no ads and nothing to buy inside the games.
Parents choose which games each child can play, or save a game as a reward to earn. Grown-ups can play too. Each game downloads its pictures and music the first time it opens, then plays offline.
Hatch a Moodling, look after it, and help it with its big feelings as it grows.
Six islands, six feelings, and a grey fog that needs a friend.
A gentle run through a world of weather.
Routines & rewards
Calmer mornings, smoother bedtimes, and a positive-only points system that celebrates showing up and pitching in. Points are never taken away.
Morning, after-school and bedtime routines, ticked off step by step, on the days you choose and with reminders at the right time. Start from a ready-made pack or build your own.
One shared calendar for activities, appointments and birthdays, with reminders, "3 sleeps to go" countdowns and a bring list for each event. Keep some plans just for the grown-ups.
Check-ins earn points toward goals you set, from a movie night to a day out. Pick from ready-made reward ideas or write your own.
Daily and weekly chores that earn points, with a simple done and approve flow. Additive only, with no penalties, ever.
A shared goal that pools points from every sibling taking part into one bar, which any of them can redeem.
A progress bar on the child's home screen showing points earned today from check-ins and chores, always completable.
Bronze, silver and gold badges for streaks, check-ins, journalling, chores and routines, with titles to grow into.
A friend in the app
The warm little companion who makes checking in feel like visiting a friend.
A named, animated companion who greets your child, reacts warmly to each check-in, celebrates rewards and chats when tapped. Two characters to choose from. Every line is written by people, not AI, and MoodBuddy only ever encourages.
Hats, outfits, shoes and accessories to dress MoodBuddy up. Unlock everything, or save pieces and whole sets as rewards to earn.
Children choose their avatar and a playful, teen or standard look for the whole app.
Calm & coping
Simple tools to steady yourself, for children and the grown-ups who look after them. Supportive coping skills, never presented as therapy.
Guided breathing patterns, a 5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercise and a feelings guide, ready whenever a big feeling arrives.
Guided audio sessions matched to how you feel, which you can download to listen offline, and soundscapes you mix yourself: rain, campfire, birdsong and more.
Clear pointers to real help, including crisis lines, built into the app and never behind a paywall.
Staying connected
Family-only messaging with no strangers, no feeds and no outside contact. Just the people who love them.
A one-to-one, end-to-end encrypted chat between a child and their parent. Children can only ever message their own family.
An encrypted family chat for everyone, a grown-ups-only chat for parents and guardians, and groups you set up yourself.
A check-in can include where you were, if you choose. It's off by default, the sender picks who sees it every time, and it's a snapshot, never live tracking. Locations are end-to-end encrypted.
Parents and Solo users can connect with adult friends they invite, chat, and decide exactly what each friend can see. Children never have friends outside their family.
Understanding & guidance
See how everyone is doing at a glance, notice patterns early, and know what to say.
"Here's how your family is doing today": each child's mood at a glance, who might need support first, and what's waiting for you, like chores to approve.
Mood trends over time, day-of-week patterns and a printable report you can share with a GP or counsellor.
A gentle heads-up when something shifts, like several low days in a row, with a link straight to help resources.
A daily tip that responds to your child's check-ins, and warm, practical guidance for supporting each feeling.
Your own wellbeing space: check in, journal and breathe. With Premium, guides for your own hard days.
A summary of the week's moods and streaks with a conversation to have together, and private notes you add to your child's timeline ("started a new school") for context.
Up to seven children and six adults, such as co-parents, grandparents and caregivers, each with the right permissions. Free families include one child and one adult.
For grown-ups on their own
Everything that helps you notice how you feel, just for you.
Daily check-ins, a private encrypted journal, streaks and Moodlings, free for every Solo account.
Your patterns over time, full mood history, Calm Corner, your own planner, achievements, all three games, and up to seven friends to share with.
MoodSpace looks after the feelings of children and teens, so safety and privacy are the foundation, not a feature. These protections are on for every family, free of charge.
Messages, check-in notes, the journal and shared locations are end-to-end encrypted. Mood choices are not, so MoodSpace can show patterns and send alerts.
Children only talk with their own family. No social feeds, no advertising, and we never sell your information.
Children never see a price or an upgrade button. Grown-ups decide what the family uses.
MoodBuddy's words are written by people, not AI, and help and crisis resources are always free.
Free to download, with a 7-day free trial of Premium for new families. No card needed.
MoodSpace is a wellbeing tool, not a medical service. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.MoodSpace is built for families who want practical, kind, and sustainable routines that support communication when life gets busy.
