Description

Named in The Washington Post's "7 science-backed things to do on your phone that are better than just scrolling." The gratitude journal for people who don't journal. Write down three good things that happened today. That's the whole practice, and it takes about a minute. No account to create. No ads, ever. Your journal stays completely private, always. "A terrific iPhone app which utilizes a study-backed method to help you focus on the positive." - Tal Ben-Shahar, positive psychology lecturer and author "A low-effort approach to gratitude journaling that even the most diary-averse can get on board with." - TapSmart WHY IT WORKS The three good things exercise comes from positive psychology, where it has been studied for two decades. Taking a minute at the end of the day to notice what went well builds a habit of seeing the good already in your life. They don't have to be big. A good conversation, a favorite meal, a walk outside, a small win, or a quiet moment is enough. FEATURES • Write three good things each day • Add photos and videos to remember the day • Look back through your history by list or calendar • Mark favorite days you want to find again • Set a daily reminder
