About this app

Three Good Things is a simple gratitude journal for the end of the day — a private daily diary for positivity, mood and calm.

Every evening, write down three good things that happened and how each one made you feel. That is the whole practice. Write them, then put the phone down.

Inspired by the Three Good Things exercise studied in positive psychology.

WHAT THE APP DOES

- Three good things a day. Short entries, not essays.
- The "I felt" prompt. After each good thing, note the feeling that came with it.
- Memories. Re-read past entries and watch your good days collect over months and years.
- A daily reminder at a time you choose.
- A quote each day.
- Themes, including a night mode for reading in bed.
- Works as a mood diary too: the feelings you note build a quiet record of your moods over the months.

PRIVACY

- No account is required. There is no sign-up, and no email address to hand over.
- Journal entries are stored locally in app storage. Exporting or sharing creates a copy through your device's share controls.

FREE AND PREMIUM

The daily practice is free. Premium adds decorative themes and a polished PDF keepsake. Price, billing period, renewal terms and any free trial are shown in the app and on this store listing, in your local currency.

A DAILY GRATITUDE HABIT

Three short entries make a five minute gratitude practice. Done nightly, the gratitude journal becomes a daily habit of noticing — a small act of self care before bed. Some people keep it alongside a longer diary or a mood tracker; this journal only ever asks for the good things, so being grateful stays easy.

ABOUT THE PRACTICE

The three good things exercise asks you to name three things that went well and your part in them. It has been studied in positive psychology, and it is deliberately small: the point is that it is easy enough to do on an ordinary evening.

WHO IT IS FOR

People who have started a journal before and stopped. If a blank page has ever felt like homework, this daily diary asks for a good deal less: three good things, a feeling for each, done.

Ratings and reviews

I really like the app. Been using it for a couple weeks. It's nice to have a few minutes before bed to reflect on what good things happened to me. The daily reminder to use it helps, otherwise I probably never would remember... I'm hoping that with time, I will remember on my own to use the app, without my nightly reminder. If there was an option to be promoted more than once in the day/night, I would turn that on! :)

I was looking for an app that would allow me to write 3 things that made me feel positive and this app is very simple to use. I have tried writing the 3 things I'm grateful for in a notebook and I go off on tangents, taking way too much time that I lose interest. This keeps me focused. I can look back on what I wrote to remind me of the good things that happened. The only thing I found a bit glitch-y is when I press "edit" to add more details, it sometimes takes a few to respond.

Very easy app to use, I've never noticed any ads because I don't think there are any ads. Great for people like me who don't want to do a full journal but like to make little notations overall about the day. I'm not sure I like the prodding of each of the three entries per day, which begin with "I felt..." But overall a nice, to the point gratitude app. Good job guys.
