Spotify wrapped started this trend seems other apps are following through. Seeing a summary of things you did with there app. Kind of gives you a hint how much other things are being tracked.

    You’re right, I should just refuse to trust any developers and go back to the paper journal I never used.

      Yes to part one. You should not trust devs that do opt out data collection of any kind. If you‘re interested in a funny way to learn about this stuff, check out „security nightmares“ from the recent 38c3 congress.

      I suggest you keep track of your thoughts and moods with open source apps.

        Daylio does not do “opt-out data collection”. IT doesn’t even have “opt-in”.

        Yes, and while that’s a fine ideal, it does not always produce well-made or polished applications. For myself, Daylio is a medical/mental health app that assisted with my diagnosis of Bipolar disorder. Unfortunately FOSS apps related to medical stuff are not the greatest or most widely developed.
