Gratitude Jar is a journal where every entry drops into a jar. Write down what you're grateful for today: a call from your mum, a good cup of coffee, catching the tram just in time. Each entry becomes a note in a glass jar. A jar holds 30 notes. When it's full, you seal it and start a new one, and the old jar stays in your archive. In a year you'll have a whole shelf of them. A couple of minutes a day is enough. What the app does: • Start without signing up. You only need an account for sync and cards. • The jar is alive: notes fall like real ones. Shake your phone and they tumble around. • Notes as smileys or pills, your choice. • Add a mood and photos to any entry. • Your streak counts days in a row, and a freeze saves it if you miss a day. • Progress shows your year ring, a heat map, words of the year and the time of day you write most. • 14 rewards for days in a row, from 1 to 365. • Cards: write someone a thank-you and send it as a link. • Reminders at a time that suits you. • Works offline and syncs on its own. • 11 languages. Jar Plus removes the limits: as many entries a day as you like, up to two photos and twice the text, a place on each entry and a map of them all, the calendar, every Progress block, PDF export and cards without a watermark. If you cancel, everything you've written stays. Only you can see your entries. We never sell them or show them to anyone.
