Daily tracker apps can make it much easier to document your mood, bipolar symptoms and habits and to recognise trends, triggers and patterns.

Apps are not a substitute for professional care, but they are an excellent resource for spotting problem areas and collecting data that you can share with your doctors, family and support team. We’ve picked apps that help you track, understand and manage your mood a bit better, which will help you to get on top of your self-management plan and live well.
