## What is Hum?

How is your life right now? 0 is the worst possible life. 10 is the best. A daily check-in for yourself, surrounded by a world full of other people's days.

Hum asks the same question researchers have been asking people in 140+ countries for over a decade. Tap a number. See which countries are feeling about the same as you today — derived from the World Happiness Report. Less mirror, more window.

Some days are 8s. Some are 3s.

The world is harder than it used to be. Loneliness is up. The news is exhausting. Social media keeps showing you other people's highlight reels. If your number is low today, you're not behind. You're being honest. Hum is a place where a 4 is okay.

What Hum is

One question. One number. One moment. No journaling prompts. Not a competition. No AI interpreting your mood. Just your number and the world's numbers, with nothing in between.

Over time, Hum quietly surfaces patterns: which day of the week tends to be your best, your steadiest stretch, your biggest jumps. Not as goals to optimize, but as things worth noticing.

What Hum isn't

Not a wellness app. Not a productivity tool. Not a therapist. Not an algorithm trying to optimize you.

Private by design

Your check-ins stay on your phone. No accounts. No servers. No tracking. We can't see your data, because we have no infrastructure that could. Sharing is always your choice. That's not a feature — that's the whole architecture.

The country averages come from the World Happiness Report, the most rigorous global survey of life satisfaction, conducted by economists since 2012. They ship inside the app, so even using the comparison feature tells us nothing about you.

Built for people who don't want another app yelling at them.

### 5/5 — Hum - short and sweet

*2026-05-01*

This is a really nice and calming app. Makes me feel better about myself. Things aren’t always great but most of the world is like that, despite what I see on social media.

## Frequently asked questions about Hum

### What is Hum's primary function?

Hum's primary function is to provide a simple, daily check-in where users rate their life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10. It then anonymously compares this rating to global averages derived from the World Happiness Report.

### How does Hum protect user privacy?

Hum is designed with privacy as its core architecture. It requires no accounts, has no servers, and does not track users. All check-ins stay on the user's phone, and sharing is always optional.

### Does Hum use AI or offer journaling prompts?

No, Hum does not use AI to interpret moods or provide journaling prompts. It focuses solely on the user's numerical rating and its comparison to global data, aiming for simplicity and honesty.

### What data is used for the global comparisons in Hum?

The country averages in Hum are derived from the World Happiness Report, which is described as the most rigorous global survey of life satisfaction conducted by economists since 2012.

### Can Hum be used to track personal patterns over time?

Yes, over time, Hum quietly surfaces patterns such as which day of the week tends to be your best, your steadiest stretch, or your biggest jumps in life satisfaction. These are presented for observation, not as goals to optimize.

### Is Hum considered a wellness or productivity app?

The app explicitly states it is not a wellness app, productivity tool, or therapist. Its focus is on honest self-reflection and comparison, rather than optimization or therapeutic intervention.

### What devices is Hum available on?

Based on the provided data, Hum is currently supported on iPhone devices.

### How often is Hum updated?

The latest version of Hum is 1.5, and it was last updated on May 5, 2026. This suggests a relatively recent update cycle.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.5 — 2026-05-05

Sparkles you can revisit. Each day's sparkles now show as their own buttons -- tap one to reveal a stat, and tap it again any time to see it again. New sparkles arrive tomorrow.

### 1.3 — 2026-05-02

A small fix: when yesterday and today share the same score, the side-by-side comparison now shows two distinct countries instead of repeating the same one.

### 1.2 — 2026-05-01

A few quiet improvements to the moment of checking in.

The score now arrives with a gentler, more deliberate animation. The closing message rotates between several variants — including a softer set for low-score days, because some days are 3s.

Also fixed: a notification could occasionally fire after you'd already checked in. It won't anymore.

### 1.1 — 2026-04-29

No release notes.
