Lantern - A nightly mood tracker for the honest keeper
by•
Lantern tracks your mood through one nightly question: how did the conditions run?
You mark your watch — Clear, Settled, Overcast, Squall, or Storm.
The mapping is yours.
The logbook shows your nights as a heatmap.
Tides reveals the shape of recent weeks.
The raven leaves a short observation after each entry — not advice, just what the record shows.
Private by design. Free. Android only.

Hello Producthunt 👋
I built Lantern because I wanted a mood tracker that didn't feel like a productivity app.
No gamification, no streaks, no "you're doing great!" — just an honest record of how things have been.
The lighthouse/keeper metaphor felt right to me.
You log the watch, the raven observes, the tides show the pattern over time.
It's a bit different from most trackers and I'm curious whether it resonates. 😊
The core app is free and always will be — no account needed, everything stays on your device. I'm also working on a premium layer for people who want more depth: longer history, richer patterns, maybe a few things I don't want to spoil yet. But the free version is complete, not a trial.
Android only for now. Would love to hear what you think — especially from anyone who's tried other mood trackers and found them too pushy or too cheerful.
