As seen in Happiness, the film by Max Joseph.
Be happier. Here's how it works.
Our positive emotions are created by six neurotransmitters in the brain.
When you experience, plan, or recall a good moment, those neurotransmitters are activated. In fact, when you relive a moment, you feel the same positive emotions you experienced in the moment that created the memory.
CREATE AND RATE GOOD MOMENTS
Pay attention to moments when you feel good. Add a memory with a photo and other details to Matter and rate the positive emotions you felt during this moment. Your emotion ratings are used to estimate the neurotransmitter levels in your brain. This data is translated into your Matter Score.

Tracking your Matter Score is a way to see how your brain benefits from your good memories and emotions, confirmed by our own MRI studies. Learn more at matter.xyz/science
More good memories and emotions build neuroplasticity, the driver for creativity, intelligence, empathy as well as longer, healthier, happier lifespans. This is backed by long-standing research. Find detailed references in our bibliography at matter.xyz/references.
LIVE A BETTER LIFE
As you add memories, you'll start seeing patterns in your neurotransmitter activity and you’ll get research-backed suggestions to address any gaps.
YOUR DATA IS YOUR DATA
Your data is your data. Your photos, personal health, and memory information are kept private on device and in your iCloud account. They are not shared with Matter.

See your happiness habit build with new daily and weekly streak trackers on the home page.
Matter now has a widget! It's a fun way to track your neurotransmitter balance and add memories right from your phone's home screen
Sometimes, the app would crash when you imported a back up. We fixed that and made it better.
You might have noticed duplicate neurotransmitter frames on the home screen. We cleaned that up for you and you shouldn't see duplicates anymore.
Categorising happy moments has improved my emotional state massively. I’m so grateful this app exists and will continue to tell my friends and family about it because I think everyone needs it.
