Grateful helps you notice the good in everyday life — and share it with the people who matter. Each day, answer one simple question: what are you grateful for? Write a short note, add a photo, and keep it private or share it with a circle of friends and family. CIRCLES Create private groups for the people you care about. Share gratitude with your partner, family, or close friends — not the whole internet. Invite others with a link and grow your circle over time. POST YOUR GRATITUDE Open the app, tap +, and capture a moment or write a few words. Keep entries private or share them with a circle. Add photos and location so you can look back on where you were when something mattered. STAY CONNECTED React to friends' entries, leave comments, and like comments to show you read them. Get notified when someone engages with your posts so gratitude becomes a two-way habit. BUILD A HABIT Track your streak, get gentle daily reminders, and revisit past entries when the app resurfaces memories from this day in previous years. Grateful is simple on purpose: one question, a few words, and the people you choose to share with.
