How Lunatask Tracks Habits and How You Feel

Lunatask handles habit-building and well-being tracking as two connected features: a visual habit tracker with streaks and reminders, and a mood/emotion, energy, and stress tracker that builds a history over time. The stated purpose of combining them is to give you visibility into how your habits affect how you feel. Both are part of the same all-in-one app that also covers tasks, calendar/time blocking, notes, and journaling, and the site describes the whole product as encrypted.

Habit tracking: what it does

The habit tracker is presented as a visual progress view rather than a plain checklist. According to the site, it includes:

• Daily and weekly habits — habits are defined on a daily or weekly rhythm.
• Customizable recurrence — you can adjust how often a habit repeats rather than being locked to a fixed schedule.
• Current and record streaks — the app shows your active streak alongside your all-time best, which is the accountability mechanism the site emphasizes.
• Reminder notifications — nudges so habits aren't dependent on memory.
• Progress visibility — the visual tracker is framed as showing "your progress" and providing accountability, and the site explicitly positions it for both building good habits and getting rid of bad ones.

A practical example

Suppose you want to read 20 minutes on weekdays and meditate three times a week. You'd set the reading habit as a daily habit with recurrence limited to weekdays, and meditation as a weekly habit with a target of three. Each day the tracker shows whether you've logged them, your current streak, and your record streak; reminders fire on the days they're due. The value shows up over weeks, not days — the streak and record are the feedback loop.

Mood and well-being tracking: what it does

The site lists four separate trackers under "Track How You Feel":

The stated benefit is visibility over time — seeing how you're doing across days and weeks, and specifically how your new habits affect you. The site names mood swings, stress, anxiety, and depression as the kinds of experiences this is meant to make more legible. Journaling sits alongside this: entries can use a customizable template, can be PIN-protected for privacy, and include integrated mood and emotion tracking, so a journal entry and a mood log can be part of the same reflection.

How the two features connect

The connection is the point of the design, not an add-on. Because habits and mood/energy/stress live in one app, the intended workflow is: build or change a habit, keep logging how you feel, and then look back at both histories together to judge whether the habit is helping. The site frames this as tracking "how your new habits affect you." In practice that means treating the mood/energy/stress history as the outcome measure and the habit streaks as the input — for example, comparing your stress logs from weeks when your streak was intact against weeks when it broke.

Limits worth knowing before you commit

• The site describes these as tracking and visibility tools. It does not claim to diagnose anything, and mood tracking is not a substitute for professional care.
• Streaks and reminders are motivational mechanics; if a broken streak demotivates you more than it motivates, the record-streak view may work against you.
• The site notes that a major next version, Lunatask 3.0, is in progress with details "coming soon," so feature specifics may change.
• Pricing is not described on the page reviewed here; a separate Pricing page exists, so check it directly rather than assuming the free entry point covers everything.

Where to start

If your goal is habit accountability, set up one daily and one weekly habit first and let the streak view run for two weeks before adding more. If your goal is understanding your well-being, start logging mood, energy, and stress daily — even briefly — so you have a baseline to compare habits against later. The site offers a "Get Started for Free" entry point, and documentation is linked from the main page for setup details.
