Happy Five is a simple app that helps you notice the good in every day. Many people look for big changes to feel happier, but real improvement often comes from small daily habits.

Every day a new card appears with 5 spots. Just write what you enjoyed: a good coffee, a nice message, a walk, a funny moment, anything. It takes almost no time. When you want to look back, use the search bar to find and sort past entries, or export them anytime in CSV or PDF format.You can also rate your day with a quick slider, set reminders that only trigger if you forgot to fill in your card, view statistics, see the current moon phase and holiday information, and add or delete a day if needed. All these core features are free, without any paywalls or ads. A donation to the project is more than welcome if you enjoy the app.Privacy comes first. You can lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID. Your data stays tied to your Apple ID and completely private. Write 5 things. See more good. Feel a bit better each day.
