In the Hobonichi Techo App, you can log your daily mood.
Along with choosing your "Today's Cover", simply select a stamp that matches how you feel to complete your entry. Looking back on the monthly calendar allows you to see the shift in your mood throughout the month at a glance.
This feature is available to everyone on the Free Plan.
Log your daily "Mood" with stamps
Once you launch the app, tap the page for the date you want to view to open that day's timeline.
When you open the timeline, 5 types of stamps featuring Senpai illustrations will be displayed.
They represent 5 levels of expressions ranging from GOOD (left) to BAD (right). Simply select and tap the stamp that matches your mood for the day to complete your entry.
Once logged, the stamp will appear on the top screen page.
The stamp illustration features your current Senpai. When you switch your Senpai, the illustration will change to the new Senpai starting from the date of the change. (For a while after you start using the app, you will not be able to change your Senpai.)
*You can choose from 3 color variations for the 5-level scale. Please see this section for instructions on how to change it.
*Stamps on the timeline can also be hidden. Please see this section for instructions on how to configure this.
Look back on mood changes with the monthly calendar
By tapping "Mood" from the dropdown menu at the top right of the screen, you can review your history on a monthly calendar.
At the top, a graph of mood changes from GOOD to BAD is displayed, and at the bottom, the stamps recorded so far appear on the calendar.
Tapping an entry for any date will display that day's "Today's Cover" on the graph. Tapping "Today's Cover" again opens that day's timeline, allowing you to check in detail what kind of day it was for you.
Use this feature to reflect on monthly mood transitions and trends—such as "I had more GOOD days this month compared to last month!" or "Things were going well in the first half, but I felt a bit down in the second half."
Change the stamp color scheme
You can change the color scheme of the 5-level stamps by selecting from 3 variations using the following steps:
Tap "Mood" from the dropdown menu at the top right of the screen to switch to the monthly calendar view.
Tap the palette icon in the upper right corner.
Three color schemes will be displayed; tap your preferred scheme to complete the change.
Once changed, all past records will also be updated to the new color scheme.
*You can also change this via [Menu] > [Settings & Payment Information] > [Techo Settings] > [Color of "Today's Mood"].
Hide stamps on the timeline
If you do not need to log your mood, you can hide the stamps on the timeline.
Tap "Menu" at the bottom right of the app.
Tap "Settings & Payment Information."
Open "Techo Settings."
Tap the toggle switch under "Display 'Show Mood Tracker'" to turn it ON or OFF.
*Turning it OFF hides stamps on the timeline, but the "Mood" option in the top right dropdown menu will remain.
*If you turn it back ON, stamps will reappear on the timeline for the period it was turned OFF.
