Calluna: Gratitude Journal

La Boîte à Rêves - The Dream Box - Bedtime stories

About this app

An annoyance stays with you all day. A small good thing fades in ten minutes. Calluna exists to correct that imbalance.

Every evening, you write down three good things from your day. Even tiny ones. Even "silly" ones. Two minutes, no more. It's the Three Good Things exercise from psychologist Martin Seligman, one of the most studied in positive psychology — and the heart of your gratitude journal.

Except here, your good things don't pile up in a list you never reopen. Each one opens a flower, and your plant for the month grows with you: seed, sprout, young plant, flowering shrub, majestic tree. On the last day of the month it joins your garden for good. Twelve months, twelve plants, a whole year you can take in at a glance.

It's a gratitude journal you can watch grow. That's why the habit sticks — and why Calluna works as a self-care diary rather than one more app you forget.


🌱 YOUR EVENING RITUAL

• Three good things, in two minutes flat
• Your mood for the day, in a single tap
• Voice dictation for the evenings you'd rather not type
• "Thanks to what, or to whom?" — the why, if you feel like it
• A gentle daily reminder, at the time and on the days you choose
• Missed yesterday? You can still go back


🌸 YOUR PLANT, YOUR GARDEN

• Every gratitude you note opens a flower
• Your plant moves through five growth stages each month
• A small celebration when it joins your garden
• Your year at a glance: flowers opened, plants grown, days in bloom
• Give each of your plants a name


💐 THE DAYS WHEN IT ISN'T GOING WELL

This is where a positive journal actually earns its place.

• Support mode offers you a good memory when the day is rough
• The happiness bank: draw a random moment from everything you've kept
• Anniversaries: what you were living a week, a month, a year ago
• The Sunday bouquet: your week gathered into flowers


📅 WHAT YOU END UP LEARNING ABOUT YOURSELF

• Daily mood tracking: your whole month, day by day, in colour
• Your sources of happiness: twelve categories, from nature to the smallest treat
• The people who come up most often in your good things
• And sometimes the urge to thank them — Calluna helps you find the words


🤍 WHO IT'S FOR

• Anyone who wants a daily gratitude habit without spending their evenings on it
• Anyone who has opened a diary before and given up after a week
• Anyone who needs to see progress — that's what the plant is for
• Anyone looking for gentle mood tracking, with no scoring and no judgement
• Anyone building a self-care routine that survives a busy week
• Anyone who wants to look after their mental wellbeing two minutes at a time


🔒 YOUR WORDS STAY YOURS

It's a private journal. We built it like one.

• Your journal is stored on your phone. We don't read it: we don't have it.
• No account, no sign-up. No email, no password. You open it and you write.
• It works offline, on the train as easily as at the bottom of the garden.
• Back up to YOUR OWN Google Drive, or export to a file. Whenever you like.
• Fingerprint lock, if you prefer.
• No ads. No data resold. Your good things are of no interest to anyone but you.


🎁 FREE, GENUINELY

No subscription, no in-app purchases, no version that locks after seven days. The whole journal, all the time.

Available in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.


Calluna is the Latin name for heather: the flower that opens at the end of the season, on the poorest soils, where almost nothing else grows.

There is always something worth picking.
