Happyer - Diary & Mood Tracker

What is Happyer?
Happyer is a completely free personal happiness tracker that will help you identify which activities and friends increase your happiness. Happyer also lets you maintain a diary keeping your thoughts more organized. In short, Happyer lets you be in charge of your mental health.

Some of the exclusive features of Happyer are:
- Create entries by selecting which activities you performed with which friends.
- Rate your happiness level and also add notes corresponding to the entry.
- Track your happiness impact over time given any time range.
- Track your top friends and your top activities via a bar graph.
- Track your top friends for a given activity.
- Track your top activities with a given friend.
- Track the impact over time for each of your activities and friends.
- Streaks to help you be motivated.
- Reminders to help make journaling a daily habit.

Happyer is a modern way of journaling where one can record their day’s events and observations. We often tend to forget about events in our lives over time. Your thoughts are more organized as you record daily events, thoughts and feelings about your experiences.
The goal of the app is to help you become a happier person based on past experiences. The app will help you to learn from your experiences resulting in better mental and physical health and overall self-improvement.

How does it work?
Happyer reminds you to record activities (with or without friends) that you have been doing during the day.
The interactive UI displays various plots identifying the effect of activities and friends on your mental health.
Rating your current level of happiness may make you more mindful thus allowing you to enjoy the activity even more.
As you maintain your Happyer diary, the interactive UI will be a helpful tool to learn more about the friends and activities that are bringing joy to your life.


Is it based on research?
Happyer uses positive psychology and mindfulness to reduce stress, develop gratitude, identify the joyous bits of your life and realize how wonderful your life can be.
Several studies show journaling increases your happiness. A recent study by Howells et al. concludes that a happiness tracker can be an effective tool to make happiness seekers significantly happier which is exactly what our goal is. (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10902-014-9589-1)
