ENDORSEMENT
Endorsed by Professors of Happiness Studies & Psychology
The "calendar circle-cross method" I described in my book 'The Mechanism of Happiness' has evolved. I sincerely hope that this app, developed by Saeki โ my former student and happiness researcher โ will help improve the well-being of many people.
Keeping a diary and reflecting on daily life is an effective practice for cultivating psychological richness. Translating psychological knowledge into everyday tools is a challenging endeavor, but Saeki's app shows real promise. I look forward to it enriching many people's lives.
Why Know Your Standard?
Happiness quietly fades behind habit and assumptions. Knowing your own standard is the surest way to get it back.
01
Reclaim the happiness you've gotten used to
No matter how wonderful something is, it turns into "normal" as the days go by โ and the bar for a good day keeps rising without you noticing. Looking back at your records, you'll find "this used to be more than enough." You get to savor, all over again, the happiness that had become invisible.
02
Break free from "if only I had that"
The bigger something looms in your mind, the smaller its effect on your everyday mood tends to be. Even when you get it, the good days often don't increase as much as you expected. What stays in your records isn't imagination โ it's the things that actually made your days good. You see, as fact, what truly makes you happy.
03
From chasing happiness to savoring it
Without knowing your own standard, all you can do is keep chasing "more." Once you see what actually works and what doesn't, you can spend your limited time and money on the things that truly lead to good days.

STEP4
Notice the Shift in Your Standard
As your records build up, you can see the difference between your old "good days" and today's.
People quickly get used to good things. And "I'd be happy if only I had that" is often just an assumption โ psychologists call these the hedonic treadmill and the focusing illusion.
So what matters isn't chasing a higher good-day count. It's noticing how your standard changes โ accepting that you change, and choosing the good days that fit who you are now.

An App That Deserves More Popularity
โข You can just pick from 3 choices, or write freely - you can use it however you feel that day, so even I, who gets bored easily, can keep using it! โข The review reports come weekly, monthly, plus special reports. Recently I received a Self-Care Report and was amazed by its content. It was a week when something sad happened that I didn't want to talk about with anyone, but the report addressed it with such heartfelt content. โข I sent a request through the app to make reports printable, and soon after, a PDF export update was added!

Exactly What I Wanted
I think even easily-bored people can keep using this diary. When sleepy or unmotivated, you can just pick your mood from 3 choices - that's great. Personally, my favorite point is the carefully crafted UI. No ads, user-friendly, and I really love the calm atmosphere.
