Reading this honestly

  • If the whiskers overlap a lot, the differences between phases could easily be chance.
  • People who choose a moon journal may already expect the moon to matter, so this data leans toward finding an effect.
  • Research is mixed: the clearest findings involve sleep, and mood effects in the general public are weak or absent.

Privacy

Sharing is off by default. When a user turns it on, only the date, mood (1–5) and energy (1–5) are sent — no account, name, note, tags, time of day or device ID — and IP addresses aren't stored. Personal journal entries never leave the user's device.
