## What is Grinly?

A colleague once promised to make someone smile at least once a day. Grinly keeps that promise.

ONE SMILE A DAY
At a time you choose, Grinly brings you one small thing: a joke, a kind note, a little wonder about the world, a tiny dare, or a lighter way to look at a heavy moment. It's on your Home Screen widget too. Want another? Ask for one more, up to three extra a day.

A MINUTE OR TWO, RIGHT NOW
Under pressure, wound up, a big moment coming, things changing, or just feeling flat? Tap how the day feels and Grinly offers a 60 to 120 second pause: a slow breath, a small stretch, a playful question, a fresh angle. Skip any step. Leave any time.

BEFORE SOMETHING BIG
Presentation at three? Set a nudge and Grinly reminds you ten minutes before, with a quick warm-up. The notification only says how long is left, never what it's for.

KEEP WHAT LANDS
Save the smiles you like to your jar and open it on a day that needs one. Grinly learns which kinds you enjoy. Pass any smile on to someone else with a tap.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No ads. No tracking. Grinly never asks how you feel and keeps no journal. Everything stays on your device.

Grinly is for everyday pressure. It isn't a health service. If things feel like more than a rough day, the app lists free helplines, one tap away.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-11

Now ready for iPhone Duo. Open it and Grinly lays out like a book: today's smile on one page, the moments on the other, and nothing sitting on the fold. Hold it upright or stand it half-open, and a pause puts the breathing circle above the fold and the words below.

Also in this update:
• The Home Screen widget never shows your name.
• The welcome pages scroll at larger text sizes.
• Small fixes and polish.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-10-09

No release notes.
