Why MoodKite exists
MoodKite is a self-observation and reflection app, built for young people to notice and record their own everyday emotional experience — and for the adults they talk to, so that conversation has something concrete in it. This page is for the adults.
“I feel bad” is often as far as it goes
A young person may know that something doesn’t feel right without knowing exactly what is happening.
What am I feeling? What happened before it? Has this happened before? What do I usually do when I feel this way?
What helps? And what is different on the days when I feel better?
Learning to notice these things takes practice. And that practice is easier on ordinary days, when things are manageable, than in the middle of a difficult moment.
MoodKite makes that practice simple: a few seconds to notice what is there.
A day is not one thing
A day can start well, turn angry after school and end lonely. "How was your day?" asks for one answer, so it gets one — usually the loudest part of it.
MoodKite records moments instead of days. That is why a check-in is one tap long and why it can happen more than once between breakfast and bed.
Memory is not a database
A school psychologist, a counsellor or a social pedagogue may see a young person once a week, and that conversation leans on what the young person can recall. The most intense event survives the week.
Several smaller ones, which together would have shown something, do not.
A light record changes the opening question. Instead of "how was your week", it can start from something the young person wrote down themselves: "school appeared alongside a lot of the difficult moments this week — does that fit?"
MoodKite supports that conversation and does not replace it. It never sends anything to anyone, and there is no view for adults: if a young person wants to share what they recorded, they open the app and show it.
The app organises what was noticed. The person, with help if they want it, works out what it means.
Created in Estonia, with our young people’s well-being in mind
MoodKite is made by Delvaris OÜ. MoodKite is currently available in Estonian, English and Russian, giving young people the freedom to use it in the language they feel most comfortable with.
It’s free, has no ads and doesn’t require an account. We don’t collect your personal data or what you write in the app.
What you write stays on your phone and stays yours.
MoodKite is not a medical device or a therapy service, and it does not replace talking to a real person. If a young person is going through a difficult period, feeling unwell, or needs help, they should seek support from a qualified professional — an app cannot replace a conversation with a specialist.
