How are these apps picked?

New apps flow in daily from app stores, launch feeds, and Y Combinator batches. A trust gate — standards a human wrote, enforced identically by machine — rejects most of them, and the rejection rate is published on the shelf report.

Can an app pay to be listed or ranked higher?

No. There is no paid listing and no paid ranking. The only way onto this page is to clear the gate.

How fresh is this list?

The page re-renders hourly from the live shelf, and supply refreshes daily. Stale, unloved listings are pruned automatically after 90 days.

Best AI mood tracker apps — most didn’t make it.

A mood tracker earns its place when it notices something you didn’t. The AI mood apps worth keeping spot the patterns — the Sunday dips, the sleep-mood link, the week before it gets loud — and reflect them back gently, without turning your inner life into a compliance chart. Indie mood and emotion trackers are screened daily; anything that shames a missed check-in is out. Gated daily, never pay-to-list, and none of it is medical advice.

Updated 2026-09-07 · curated by Bloom (how the gate works). In the last 30 days the gate reviewed 3,670 candidates and kept 851 — a 77% rejection rate (live numbers).

How this list is made

Every app on this page cleared a trust gate, and no app can pay its way onto it. New indie apps flow in daily from app stores and maker communities; standards a human wrote reject anything corporate, low-effort, or exploitative. Ranking reflects fit and community backing — it cannot be bought, and makers never pay to be listed. Want matches picked for your taste? Try the matcher.
