Three Good Things Journal vs MindHappy

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 at a time that suits you • Customize the look and feel of your journal • Build a daily streak and unlock achievements A JOURNAL WORTH REREADING Over time it becomes something to read back through: ordinary days you'd otherwise have forgotten, in your own words. "I started this in Covid lockdown in Melbourne — have now completed 1957 days… nearly 6000 good things acknowledged. Life is good when you look for it." — App Store review I first made Three Good Things nearly ten years ago because I wanted this practice to feel simple and easy to return to. I hope it can become a small part of your day. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://threegoodthingsapp.com/privacy/

Build a happier life — one moment at a time. MindHappy is a gratitude journal built around one small daily habit: write down three good things that happened today. It takes a minute, and it compounds. THREE GOOD THINGS, EVERY DAY Each entry holds three moments, tagged with the date and, if you want it, the place they happened. Months later you can look back and see exactly where you were when something went right. KEEP THE STREAK MindHappy tracks your current and longest streak, so the habit has something to hold onto on the days you don't feel like writing. A GENTLE NUDGE, NOT A NAG Set one reminder for the time of day that actually suits you — the evening wind-down, morning coffee, the walk home. One notification. That's it. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch companion lets you capture a moment the second it happens, without reaching for your phone. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your entries are yours. They sync to your account, can be stored encrypted, and are never sold, shared, or mined to advertise to you. A LOOK BACK, WRITTEN FOR YOU Ask MindHappy to read your recent entries and reflect them back — the patterns you have been writing about without noticing.
