Jarflow turns gratitude into a visual habit. Watch your jar fill with colorful droplets as you add moments. Practice solo with a personal jar, or create shared jars with family, friends, or teammates to make gratitude a shared experience. Free to start on web and iOS, with an optional Jarflow+ plan for photos, more jars, and prompts.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built Jarflow for two main reasons:
To counteract negativity and help cultivate a grateful mindset.
Because gratitude journaling kept feeling like homework. I’d start strong, then my notes app would become a graveyard of abandoned entries.
I wanted something that:
✅ Makes progress visible, not just a wall of text
✅ Feels rewarding enough to keep doing
✅ Brings people together instead of being purely solo
A physical gratitude jar is a great idea, but it sits in one place, you can’t share it across distances, and my handwriting is terrible!
What Jarflow is today
A full web and iOS app:
Personal and shared jars, where everyone adds to the same jar, for families, friends, or teams
A dashboard with moments to reflect on, your streak, and the latest from your shared jars
Stamps for milestones, daily email reminders, and push notifications on iOS
Dark mode
Free to start. Jarflow+ ($3.99/month) is optional and adds more jars, photos, location and category tags, gratitude prompts, and moment export
The design
As a designer, I was very focused on the design of Jarflow to match
Tech stack
Jarflow is a React/Tailwind app that uses Supabase as a backend. Cursor was used for development of the app. For native iOS functionality, I used Capacitor instead of a separate codebase.
What I learned
After a soft launch in 2025, I ran an in-app survey and reached out to early adopters directly them what people wanted most. The answer was overwhelming: shared jars and reminders. People don’t just want to practice gratitude, they want to do it together: families separated by distance, remote teams, friend groups going through tough times. That feedback changed my roadmap, and I iterated over the past year to edit the design and many new features, along with cutting unused ones. Many iterations of nights and weekends later, more than 100 people are using Jarflow.
Why it’s free to start
I want gratitude practice to be accessible first and sustainable second. The core experience is free, and Plus is there for people who want more.
