## What is Joybox?

Joybox is the #1 social media app for families, kids and real friends!

Finally there’s a social app that increases joy and real life connection! Joybox makes it easy to capture and preserve life’s happy moments and share them with your closest friends and family. Life is hard and full of challenges and frustrations. When you experience a moment of joy or happiness, it’s important to hold on to it and relive the experience with others. Focusing on joy and positivity is the best path to a happier well-being and good mental health. 

FOCUS ON JOY DAILY
The power of focusing on Positivity and Gratitude is undeniable!
Each day, everyone receives the same quick writing prompt with a question to focus your attention on what brings you joy.
Once you answer, you will be able to see and react to your friends' responses. 
This simple process of reflecting on your own Joy and seeing what brings Joy to others is both fun and inspiring!
Studies show that spending just a couple minutes each day focusing on Positivity and Joy can have a dramatic impact on your mental health. 

HOW THE JOYBOX WORKS
Invite your closest friends or family members to share your Joybox
Add your joyful moments to your Joybox. This can be a photo, song or just text!
Any member of the shared Joybox can add moments to it, but the Joybox is locked until you all decide to open it together.
Unlock your Joybox to relive the memories in a way that brings you together with the most important people in your life.
Add different groups into their own unique shared Joybox - Friend groups, family members, sports teams, company teams or your spouse. Wherever you have a group that likes to connect, a Joybox is the happiest social connection point.

Easily add text, pictures and songs into your personal or shared Joybox anytime you experience joy. Store and share these joyful moments with the people you choose. Then opening the Joybox to relive these moments is something you do together. It’s a real life experience that leads to deeper relationships, good mental health, and even more joy and laughter. It takes the good parts of social media and adds real life connection. 

Joy is found when we look for it. Joy is spread when we share it. Joy is enhanced when we relive it together.

*2024-07-11, version 1.0.8*

Joybox is so amazing and it is so nice to have a healthy social media app that is meant to bring families closer!

### 5/5 — Throw your memory jar away!

*2024-05-10, version 1.0.7*

Joybox gives daily opportunities to practice gratitude, share positive things about your life or day, and learn things about your family and friends. There is no room for negativity!

However, the part I love most about Joybox is the joy box itself. The opportunity to catalog special moments and recount them later in the year is something I have been wanting to implement year after year and has never happened 😂🙃 I love that this is a way to capture the essence of a memory jar, but in a digital format. 

I am counting down the days to when I get to open my joy box. I can’t wait to see what others have added to it and relive some special memories from throughout the year. 

Well done, Joybox! Can’t wait to connect with more friends and family on this app.

### 5/5 — Joybox

Joybox is an amazing app that spreads joy throughout the whole family! This app is really just what I needed for my family of 6, I am a hard working mother and this app helped connect my family and bring us way closer than I could have ever imagined!

**Developer response:** So glad you and your family are enjoying Joybox!

### 5/5 — Great app for your mental health!

I just got this a few days ago and have already boxed up a few memories that my family and I will enjoy revisiting down the road. This app helps me focus on the positive things in my life and I learn more about my friends too.

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2024-04-11, version 1.0.6*

I personally love this app because I get to get closer to my friends online without even seeing them in person. I also love the hidden Joybox features that make this app unique.
