Happier is a toolkit, not a program

The tools and strategies that work for one person won’t necessarily work for another. Rather than a rigid step-by-step program, Happier is a toolkit designed to help you discover what works for you. You’ll get something new to try every day, along with the tracking tools to help you figure out what’s working.

  • Flexible habit tracking

    Design and aim and choose a tracking tool like the Photo Log, Don’t Break the Chain, or Accountability Buddy to learn what sticks.

  • Fresh daily insights

    Get inspired with a new tip, hack, or insight from Gretchen Rubin’s happiness research every day.

  • Fun challenges

    Spin the challenge wheel for a quick win, or dive into a Jump-Start to reset your approach to organization, relationships, and more.

  • The one-sentence journal

    If you’ve struggled to consistently write in a journal, try this one. Just one sentence a day, but you’ll be surprised at who it adds up.

Built to fit your life

Practical

Happier is designed for daily use, whether you have just a few minutes or lots of time to explore.

Flexible

Use it to improve fitness, creativity, sleep, relationships, or all of the above. Adjust your approach or your goal anytime.

Research-based

The Happier app is backed by Gretchen Rubin’s years of research on habits and happiness.

  • “The app is fun, beautifully designed, and helps me be happier. I love Gretchen Rubin’s work.”

  • “Lots of great features. Will definitely use the habit tracker! But my favorite is the spinning the wheel—it’s a wheel of five minute challenges. (Like adjust your posture or take a book from your shelf you no longer want.)”

  • “I love this app. Lots of different tools for your personality type. Beautiful illustration and visuals and incorporates all of the tried and true Gretchen Rubin principles.”
