About Happier
Introducing the Happier app
Want to become happier, healthier, more productive, and more creative? The Happier app is a revolutionary habit-tracking tool that offers a range of personalized, practical strategies to support your aims and put happiness within reach. Research suggests that we repeat about 40% of our behavior almost daily, so if we change our habits, we can change our lives—starting today.
Features:
A happiness toolkit that’s tailored to you, to help you build habits to create the life you want. Tools include:
- Don’t Break the Chain
- Photo Log
- One-Sentence Journal
- Numbers Tracker
- Accountability Partners
Access to a library of helpful tips and hacks, insightful self-knowledge questions, and thought-provoking quotations to help you learn more about yourself and make progress toward your aims.
Spin the Wheel for fun daily challenges to get a quick boost of happiness, energy, or creativity.
How it Works:
1. Join the millions of people who have taken Gretchen Rubin’s Four Tendencies quiz to find out whether you’re an Obliger, Questioner, Upholder, or Rebel. This groundbreaking personality framework helps the app recommend the most effective tools for you.
2. With step-by-step guidance, choose an area where you’d like to be happier, and identify the concrete steps to help you achieve your aim. Track any habit, such as:
- Get to bed by 10pm every night
- Spend 10 minutes meditating daily
- Go for a 20-minute daily walk
- Read for 30 minutes before bed
- Turn off the internet for 2 hours every weekend
- Start a monthly podcast club
- Make your bed every morning
- Keep a daily journal
- Plan Friday date nights
- Donate monthly to a cause you care about
- Track spending for one month
- Play guitar for 30 minutes per day
3. Get personalized habit-tracking tools recommended for you based on your Tendency, or choose any tool to track your progress.
4. Track your progress, and continue to build more happiness habits. Even small steps make a big difference over time.
What makes this app different?
- Get personalized recommendations, not a one-size-fits-all solution—different tools work for different people.
- Have the flexibility to experiment with different tools.
- Track any habits you choose, rather than be limited to a single, app-specific aim.
- More than just a habit tracker—explore a library of habit-formation tips and happiness-boosting insights to gain self-knowledge and strategies.
- Based on the work of renowned happiness and habit-formation expert Gretchen Rubin.

Love it already
Works great on my android phone. Love the categories for aims and the suggestions on how to write a good one. The tracker options are great, and spinning the wheel was a nice touch. Well done Gretchen and team!
Nicely formatted and easy to use. No glitches and tons of bite sized bits of information in Gretchen's signature helpful and clear style!
