Your data is your data. Your photos, personal health, and memory information are kept private on device and in your iCloud account. They are not shared with Matter.

Here’s how it works.

COLLECT GOOD MOMENTS

Pay attention to moments when you feel good. In the app, add a memory with a photo and other details to help you remember it.

BECAUSE IT FEELS GOOD

Our positive emotions are activated by six neurotransmitters in the brain.

When you recall a good moment, those neurotransmitters are reactivated. So, you feel the same positive emotions you experienced the first time around.

(We’ve confirmed this in studies, observing participants’ brains in MRIs. Learn more at matter.xyz/science.)

RATE YOUR GOOD FEELINGS

Quickly rate the positive emotions you felt during this moment. Your emotion ratings are used to decrypt the neurotransmitter activity in your brain. This data is translated into your Matter Score.

GET INSIGHTS TO HELP YOU GROW

Tracking your Matter Score is a way to see how you’re doing, from the inside, out.

Neurotransmitter activity helps build neuroplasticity in the brain. Higher levels of neuroplasticity correlate with higher levels of creativity, intelligence, and empathy as well as longer, healthier, happier lifespans.

(This is backed by long-standing research. Find our bibliography at matter.xyz/references.)

DO MORE OF WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY

As you add more memories, you’ll get more science-backed insights and suggestions for being your best self.

YOUR REAL LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING IN THIS APP

When you can see what actually makes you feel good, you can do more of it. But of course, that part is up to you. Matter is just here to help.
