Am I Happy? is a self-tracker built around your own questions - a private daily journal for your mood, your habits, and everything else that matters to you. What if you had real statistics about your own inner life? Not impressions. Not reconstructed memories. Real data, captured day after day, that lets you see who you truly are - beyond what your memory tells you. Here's the thing about memory: our brain doesn't store facts, it manufactures narratives. This is called emotional memory bias. Every time we recall a period of our life, we don't relive it, we reconstruct it. Shaped by our present state. Today's anxiety darkens the memory of last month. A difficult week rewrites an entire quarter. The relief of the moment beautifies a period that was, in reality, filled with doubt. We are, without knowing it, unreliable narrators of our own story. This is not a weakness - it's simply how our brain works. But becoming aware of it changes everything. Am I Happy? is your anchor in reality. Every day, in just a few seconds. No one tells you what to measure here. This is self-tracking on your terms: you create your own custom questions - the ones that truly matter to you, not to anyone else. Your mood, of course. But also energy on Monday mornings. Quality of sleep. Screen time, sport, or any habit you want to build or watch. The state of a relationship. Work satisfaction. Anything that shapes your inner life but escapes your memory. You answer them daily - a daily tracker that takes less than a minute. And gradually, a clear, honest picture emerges - the one your memory would never have shown you on its own. Discover that your energy systematically drops mid-week. Notice that your mood improves in weeks when you exercise. See, with actual statistics, the cycles, trends and patterns that have always been there - invisible until now. What you can do with Am I Happy?: - Create your own custom questions: mood, habits, sleep, energy - anything you want to track - Answer your daily check-in in less than a minute - Track quantities too: weight, hours of sleep, screen time, workouts - See your personal statistics, trends and patterns build up over time - Let AI generate monthly recaps that connect your stats, your life events, and your patterns - Keep a private journal of milestones, with photos - Identify subtle signals that memory alone can never reveal Am I Happy? is built with a different philosophy in mind. No aggressive notifications. No streaks, badges, or reward systems designed to bring you back at any cost. No ads. No mechanics engineered to create dependency. Your answers stay private - this is your journal, not your social feed. The app doesn't push you toward anything - it's simply there when you need it. If consistency comes, it comes from you. From your curiosity. From your desire to understand yourself. Not from a notification guilting you for having forgotten. The full version is available through a simple, transparent subscription per month. No limited-time offers, no pressure, no features hidden behind progressive paywalls. The advanced features - AI-powered monthly recaps, on-demand analyses, extended statistics - have a real cost to exist. That is the only reason they are paid. You know what you're getting. You choose freely. Because an app designed to help you feel better shouldn't itself cause you harm. Knowing yourself is not a sudden revelation. It's a gentle, regular self-tracking practice. And it begins with one simple thing: noting, today, how you're really doing - and letting your own data tell your story.
