1. Who is Piko Cat?
Meet Piko cat, your friendly cat companion who invites you to share your day. Originally in pink, Piko famously turned purple after feasting on grapes!

2. What’s the Difference Between Mood Tracking and Mood Journaling?
Mood tracking is a part of mood journaling, focusing on identifying mood patterns and fluctuations. However, it doesn’t typically involve deep reflection on emotions or exploring their root causes. Mood journaling is like your daily emotional exercise, but with Pink Piko, we aim to offer this in a light and fun way.
3. How Is Pink Piko Different from Other Mood-Tracking Apps?
Pink Piko is more than just a mood-tracking app; it offers a detailed and intuitive journaling experience. Instead of logging moods with general feelings like 'great' or 'bad,' we go one step further to encourage users to pinpoint the specific emotions behind these general feelings.
This approach is vital because understanding and being aware of your emotions, as identified in the research on universal emotions by Paul Ekman, is a key step in emotional management. It allows us to change our emotional reactions in response to daily events more effectively. Recognizing these specific emotions leads to better emotional regulation and healthier coping mechanisms.
Our app is designed to make the process of daily emotional journaling intuitive and enjoyable. Beyond providing graphs and charts, Pink Piko turns data into meaningful insights, making it easier for users to understand their emotional patterns. And, what’s more?
