Track what makes your week shine. Happiness List is a simple, beautiful habit tracker built around one idea: happiness has more to do with the focus of your life than the circumstances of it. Pick a few habits that matter to you, check them off as you go, and watch your weekly happiness score grow. — THE BASICS — • Track daily habits ("morning walk") • Track weekday-specific habits ("yoga on Mon, Wed, Fri") • Track "N times a week" goals ("call a friend twice a week") • A weekly happiness score that reflects what you've actually done — not what's still ahead • Streaks for every habit, current and best-ever • Forgot to check in? Step back to yesterday and mark it off — GENTLE NUDGES — • One short evening reminder between 7 and 9 PM, only if you still have something left for the day • A weekly recap on Monday morning so you can see how last week went • A fresh thought each day — quotes about owning your own happiness, including a favorite from Russell M. Nelson — TOGETHER — Pair with your spouse or a friend using a 6-character invite code. You'll see each other's weekly happiness scores and can root each other on. Unlink anytime. — RIGHT ON YOUR HOME SCREEN — Add the widget for an instant glance at your week's score and what's left to do today. — PRIVATE BY DESIGN — • Sign in with Google or Apple • Your data syncs through Firebase to your other devices, and only to your partner if you choose to pair • No analytics. No ads. No selling your data, ever • Delete your account and all data anytime, right from the Profile screen — WHO IT'S FOR — Anyone who's tried "habit tracker" apps that grade you harshly or pile on guilt. Happiness List is warm, forgiving, and quiet. Hit your goals on Monday? You're at 100% — no waiting until Sunday for credit. Falling behind? It only counts against you when skipping today actually puts the goal at risk. A happier week is one small step away.
