Tips

1. Log daily at the same time — Creates habit and keeps streaks alive. Morning coffee or bedtime reflection works well.

2. Go deep, not broad — One thoughtful entry beats five generic ones. Use prompts to explore why you're grateful.

3. Mix specifics with big-picture — Balance gratitude for people/relationships with gratitude for health, freedom, and opportunities.

4. Review your pattern monthly — Insights compound. Monthly reviews show growth, shift in perspective, and what truly matters to you.

5. All data stays local on your machine — Your gratitude entries never leave your device. You own your data completely.
