Don’t let the good stuff slip by.

The rule that makes it work

You can only write about today, until midnight.

A day you don’t catch is simply gone. No catching up, no making it right at the weekend — which is exactly why you start paying attention while the day is still happening. There is nothing to keep up, nothing counting, and nothing to feel bad about.

Why one line is enough

Researchers measured this, and then measured it again six months later.

People asked to write down one good thing each night were happier within weeks — and still happier half a year on, against a placebo group that drifted back to where they started (Seligman et al., 2005; Emmons & McCullough, 2003). More turned out to be worse, not better: writing three times a week beat writing every day, because the moment it feels like homework, it stops working.

That’s the published research, not a claim about this app. Moments just makes the thing the studies tested take about twenty seconds.

What it isn’t

• No feed, no followers, no public profile. The only way a moment reaches another person is if you send it to them yourself — one person, one link, from your own messages.
• No ads, and no tracking you across other apps or websites. There is no advertising network anywhere in this app.
• No analytics on your words. What you write is not a data source.
• Nothing counting. No numbers going up, nothing to break, nothing to keep alive.

Free to start. After that it’s a small subscription. What it costs is shown inside the app before you ever pay, and what happens to your moments if you don’t is written plainly in the Terms.
