Every day, one true story of human kindness. Not headlines. Not opinion. A single real story about someone choosing to be good to another person - told properly, in about four minutes, and narrated if you would rather listen than read. THE DAILY STORY IS FREE. FOREVER. No paywall, no trial, no counting how many you have left. The story of the day is free to everyone, always. That is the promise the whole app is built on. Nobody having a hard day should meet a payment screen. HOW IT WORKS Open the app and today's story is waiting. Read it, or press play and listen. Each story ends with a quote worth keeping and one honest question to sit with. Answer that question if you want to. What you write is private to your account and stays yours. Check in with how you are feeling. Your streak grows quietly - not to pressure you, but so you can see that you have been showing up for yourself. I NEED HOPE Some days you cannot wait until tomorrow. Press the centre button, say how you are feeling, and the app finds a story for that. Sad. Lonely. Anxious. Overwhelmed. Discouraged. Grieving. It will not fix anything. It is one true story about someone being kind, at the moment you most need reminding that it happens. LISTEN ANYWHERE Almost every story is narrated. Play it on the commute, on a walk, while cooking, or with your eyes closed in the dark. Audio keeps playing when your screen locks. PLANET POSITIVE PLUS The daily story is free forever. Plus is for people who want more of it, and for those who want to keep it free for everyone else. Plus includes: - Every story ever published, searchable - Unlimited journal writing (free includes 10 reflections a month) - Download stories and audio for offline listening - Unlimited "I Need Hope" (free includes three a day) - Collections, to keep the ones that mattered - Your weekly recap - A reminder at a time you choose Plus is a subscription. It renews until you cancel, and you can cancel any time from your device settings. WHAT THIS APP IS NOT It is not a news app. It is not social - there is no feed, no comments, no followers, and nothing to scroll. It is one story a day, and a quiet place to sit with it. PRIVACY Your journal is private to your account. We do not sell your data, and we do not show advertising. Terms: https://planetpositive.app/terms Privacy: https://planetpositive.app/privacy
