Entries

One mood check-in or journal entry, with everything the app stored.

{
  "date": "2026-03-01",
  "time": "21:40",
  "instant": null,
  "mood": { "level": "good", "raw": "good" },
  "sleep": null,
  "title": "Sunday",
  "note": "Long walk by the river.",
  "prompts": [{ "prompt": "What made you smile?", "answer": "The ducks." }],
  "tags": [{ "name": "walk", "group": "Hobbies" }],
  "emotions": [{ "name": "calm" }],
  "people": ["Sam"],
  "media": { "photos": 1 },

}

Every field is written out, even when empty: null, [], {} or { "photos": 0 }.

Field	Required	Purpose

`emotions`	Yes	`{ name }`, spelled as the app spells them.
`people`	Yes	Names as the app spells them.
`media`	Yes	`{ photos }`: counts only, files are not carried.
`dropped`	Yes	Source fields OWLF has no place for, with count on this entry.

Raw values

mood.raw is the value exactly as in the file: "rad", 4, 73.5. label is set only when the file’s label differs from the level’s.

People

A person on an entry means the person connected with them that day: met, called, texted, thought about. It does not prove they spent time together, and the connection can feel good, bad or mixed.
