1 good thing is a gratitude journal you draw instead of write. Sketch one good (or bad) thing a day and watch it drop into a physics-based jar. No typing, no streaks, no account needed. Everything stays on your device.
the sketch jar concept is genuinely charming, and i love that everything stays local with no sign up friction. one idea though: add an optional monthly view that shows thumbnails of all your drawings in a grid, so you can actually scroll back and relive the month visually instead of digging through the jar.
@hamzagayricztz Thanks so much, glad the jar concept landed for you! And yeah, local-first with no sign up was important to us too.
Good news, we actually already have this. Tap "this year" and it breaks down into a monthly grid of thumbnails, exactly for scrolling back through the month. Might be worth making it more discoverable though, thanks for the nudge to check that.
honestly the drawing idea is what got me, way less pressure than writing. the jar physics thing is kind of charming too, makes it feel like you are actually collecting something.
@sudenaz3r0b Really appreciate that, honestly that was the whole idea. Writing can feel like homework, drawing doesn't. And yeah, the jar's meant to make it feel like a little collection building up, glad that came through!
drawing instead of writing is such a simple shift but it makes the habit feel way less like a chore. the little jar filling up is weirdly satisfying too.
@etinredi7xpj Exactly, that's the bet we made. Lowering the bar just enough that it doesn't feel like homework. And the jar filling up thing, we didn't expect people to like watching it fill up as much as they do, but it's become one of our favorite parts too.
honestly the physics jar thing is kind of satisfying to watch, like you just sketch and it plops in. no typing sounds perfect for someone like me who never sticks with journals anyway.
Love the physics-based jar, such a tactile little reward for sketching instead of typing. Keeping everything on-device with no account is a really thoughtful choice too.
