And with mindfulness, you can regulate your negative emotions. Instead of picking a lot of complicated well-being exercises, Diary+ makes it simple. Gratitude and mindfulness are both easy to learn, strongly backed up by science, most enjoyable to do (in comparison to other techniques), and usable on an everyday basis, even in only 10 min. The app is designed for continued use and to increase mental health. It might be used to support therapy or while waiting for therapy. The same mechanisms that increase happiness also improve mental health. Ask your professional caregiver if Diary+ could take over a supportive role in your healing process. Using Diary+ you can build a collection of your most favorite memories. You can select and filter your favorites by month, year, and all-time. That way you can always see your richest memories of your very unique and precious journey. Diary+ is secure and saves your data in the cloud. Later, with a new device, you just need to log in to continue your diary. Cloud data is encrypted with industry standards such as encryption at rest and encryption in transit. Privacy is very important. As an effort for even higher security, Diary+ offers optional end-to-end encryption that can be easily activated. End-to-end encryption is the most secure technology available to protect your data. If activated, nobody except you, not even the developer, can see your entries. You need to save the key at a safe location. If the key is gone, you lose access to your data. Diary+ is developed by Pingcamp, a single-person company or, in other words, by a single developer.
