About this app

Orca (formerly Happyfeed) is a photo and video gratitude journal designed to make you happier by reflecting on 3 good things each day.

Research shows gratitude journaling can improve your mental health and help you feel 10% happier by focusing on the good things in life. Keep entries private or join a Pod to share with a group of close friends.

📓Daily Gratitude Journal App
A gorgeous mental health journaling app designed to reflect on joy everyday. Add photos, videos, or locations to your daily gratitude. Your memories are private-first but sharable in groups perfect for couples, friends, or family. Stay motivated with gratitude streaks and self-growth

🔭 Throwbacks: Reflect on Happy Memories
After one week, you can view memories in your gratitude journal from that day one in the past - starting with one week ago. This period grows to months and even years. Take a second to reflect and get the big picture of your personal growth.

🌿 Pods: Shared Group Journal
Pods are private groups for sharing memories, video diary entries, a photo a day, or daily journal progress. Show love by sending emojis reactions! It's a unique way to send gratitude plus photos as a couple or with friends and family. If you're looking for a shared journal or diary, that's Pods!

👋 Journal Prompts Everyday
Every morning receive a new daily journaling prompt as a reminder to be grateful and write 3 good things for your self-growth. Quotes about happiness, a fun fact, or little jokes to prompt joy & positivity in your life.

✨ Gratitude Jar
After a couple of weeks, view past photo or video diary moments using the Gratitude Jar. Shake to see one random memory and feel happier in seconds instead of minutes of scrolling through a feed. Past happy moments may even prompt more gratitude!

👩‍🔬 Benefits of a Gratitude Journal
Keeping a gratitude journal can help boost your mood and overall happiness. Studies have shown it can make you even 10% happier - take 5 minutes to write down 3 good things every day. Taking a second for grateful reflection can help you cultivate happier thoughts. Gratitude journals are the perfect practice for your personal growth!

😄 3 Good Things
We designed Orca (formerly Happyfeed) as a simple gratitude journal to build a “happy feed” of pictures, video, and moments from your life. It’s based on practices from positive psychology research - starting with 3 good things. Reflecting for just 5 minutes can make you 10% happier and track your personal growth & mood. Groups, photos, and the Happiness Jar help you spread joy and build a positive self-growth habit.

Ratings and reviews

I love this app!! I got it on a whim while trying to find a journal entry type app and I am in love. It's such a good social media replacement and a great way to make simple daily diary entries. No complicated methods of sharing with friends either. I do wish that the word count for the entries was increased, especially with the subscription I got. I also think putting a music status would be cool! A way to show what you were listening to that day and share with your friends too. Overall BEST!!

I really like this app. I found it to be super helpful and I love being able to add photos to my entries. It's really great to mark special days with a custom emoji. My only qualm is that I can't access any photos I take from within the app itself without going each entry and downloading them. Without the paid version, I have to shuffle my monthly recap until I see the photo I want. Photos taken in the app should be stored such that the user can access them from outside of the app

I really like Happyfeed! I have noticed a positive change in my outlook after starting. However, the app is not user friendly. Also, the commenting is completely crazy. I've been in pods with people for two years, some of them can comment on my entries but I can't comment on theirs?? I can only comment on one person from my pod. I would like to be able to interact with my pods more, but it's totally random on who I am able to interact with. it's annoying.
