This app is designed to be the easiest, simplest way to maintain a gratitude journal. Write a few things you're grateful for each day and then whenever you need a reminder of the good things in life, you can pull up this app and reflect on your blessings. You can even set a customizable notification to prompt you to take the time to be grateful. Research evidence on Gratitude: Davis, D.
