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.
