About Moodator

Why I built Moodator

Moodator was born from something I personally lived through. A few years ago, I could feel my mental health deteriorating because of work. That dull, persistent fatigue was affecting my mood, my relationship with my family, and the quality of my personal time.

I was exhausted. I was losing my bearings. I felt unhappy in my professional life — but I couldn't put it into words or clearly see how bad things had gotten.

In building this app, I wanted to create the tool I wish I'd had back then: something simple and daily that helps identify the early signs of burnout before it becomes irreversible, and to take preventive action as early as possible.

The mission

Moodator is not a medical tool. It's a self-awareness tool: a barometer that turns your daily feelings into readable, long-term data. The goal is simple — help you spot the signals before they become warnings.

In less than a minute a day, you log your key indicators (sleep, work life, personal life, physical activity, diet, screen time…). The barometer evolves, the trend takes shape, and the AI comment gives you a personalised reading of your situation.

Built with Claude Code

Moodator was built entirely by me, in PHP, with the help of Claude Code — Anthropic's AI development tool. This project is proof that in 2025, a developer can design and ship a full, multilingual app with integrated AI in record time thanks to an AI language model.

Claude Code was my co-pilot throughout: architecture, business logic, Anthropic API integration, i18n system, URL routing, CSS. A full human-AI collaboration from start to finish.
