Daily Anxiety Logger
A 60-second daily check-in: how anxious, what set it off, what you did. After a week, patterns start to surface on their own.
Whatever you'd say to a friend. "Meeting", "dad's call", "that email I haven't replied to" all count.
Trends
Most common triggers
Distinctive feature: this is just text you've typed, sorted by how often it appears.
What actually helps
Average help rating per recurring action (only shows things you've tried 2+ times).
Weekly summary
What this actually does
The three numbers you write down — level, trigger, action — are the minimum viable dataset for noticing patterns. After about seven entries, "meetings keep coming up" is visible to you. After thirty, you can see whether a coping strategy is actually pulling weight, or just feels productive.
The distinct bit here is the weekly summary, written in plain English rather than a chart. Numbers are good for some brains; sentences are better for others. Whichever works for you.
Who it's for
People who are tracking anxiety over weeks, not hours. People who feel like their coping tools "don't work" but haven't kept track long enough to know. People whose anxiety has a clear daily shape — workdays, weekends, mornings.
If you've had a panic attack in the last 24 hours, this isn't the moment. See Disclaimer.
How to read the results
The line chart shows the ups and downs. The triggers cloud is descriptive, not diagnostic — having "meetings" as your top trigger doesn't mean meetings are your problem. The help ratings are based on whatever you've typed. "Did nothing" with a high rating is a meaningful signal: sometimes not-doing is the answer.
Limitations
You'll know your day best on the day. Backfilling entries from three days ago is mostly guesswork. The trigger field is "one word" by design, so you may miss nuance — when in doubt, write the longer version in the "what I did" box instead.
FAQ
What's a "good" week?
There isn't one. A week where the average moved 0.5 down is meaningful. A week where it moved up is information, not failure. The point is trendlines across weeks, not winning any individual one.
Where does my data go?
Local browser storage. Nothing is uploaded. If you switch browsers or clear site data, your logs go with it. Use Export CSV to back them up.
Can I log more than once a day?
Yes — today, the entry you'll see combines all entries for the current day into an average level. The triggers and actions list separately.
Should I log every day, including good ones?
Yes. A 1/10 logged is a useful data point — it tells you what a low-anxiety day looks like for you, which is the thing you're trying to get more of.
How do I use Daily Anxiety Logger step by step without mistakes?
Follow the order given in the usage section: Log your anxiety level, the trigger word, and what you did. See 7 and 30-day trends, top triggers, and a weekly summary, all in your browser. The step-by-step part matters less than the unit check that sits inside it. Confirm every unit matches the thing you are actually trying to measure before you press calculate - that single check catches more wrong answers than any other habit, and it costs about ten seconds.What are the common mistakes when using Daily Anxiety Logger?
Most common mistakes come down to four habits: entering 20 when the field expects 0.2 because the field is a percentage; leaving a field blank and accepting the default without checking what it stands for; changing one input and reading a result that was calculated before the change; and quoting the output as an exact figure when the page describes it as a reference estimate. Press calculate again after any edit, and treat the number as a reference point rather than a final answer.Advertisement
