Life is mostly awesome, but we easily forget it. This Jar of Awesome app is a mindfulness diary for you to write down all those everyday events that made you feel good, that you are grateful for, that made you smile and brightened your day, so that you are more aware of them both when they happen and later when you recall them again while browsing all the notes in your jar. Pay more attention to your life and don't let your good memories fade away so fast!
The idea behind the jar of awesome, or happines jar, would be an empty physical jar that you fill up with pieces of paper on which you write your happy memories. Many people do this at the beginning of the year, so that at the end of the year, or when the jar is full, they can turn it upside down and check all the notes inside. But why check it so sparsely when you can recall your memories every day?
Here's why this digital jar of memories can be more convenient and fun:
• this Jar is always with you, available all the time, wherever you are. You don't have to wait until you get back home to find pen and paper and write down your memories. Save them in colourful notes with pictures as soon as they happen or before sleeping while making balance of the day.
• cheer up your day by bringing back some of your previous memories in a timeline, be surprised at random, or filter them by categories or a similar date: do you remember what happened to you one, two, three months ago? One year ago? The more notes you write every day, the more useful the Jar of Awesome will prove to you!
• keep your life memories fresh at all times: set an awesome widget in your phone's homescreen that shows all your favourite moments, or get reminders from time to time displaying the notes of your choice. And if you are afraid you will forget to write down your memories, you can also get a reminder for that!
• sort your notes by date and into categories, and tag them with keywords so later you can easily find the memories you are looking for - and share them with your friends and family!
• check the stats to know which categories contain your most awesome memories. Know yourself better!
• protect your most intimate memories with the private mode, locking them with a password
Keep adding notes to the jar and you'll be surprised at the huge amount of good memories that you have now that otherwise you'd probably have dismissed already. In fact, if you turn writing down your memories into a habit, like a happiness diary or a five minute journal, you will notice how every day you are looking for more awesome things to add to the jar, making yourself more aware of your surroundings, the people you interact with, and all the smiles that you give, living every day in a more optimistic, meaningful and mindful way.
Enjoy the Jar of Awesome, and cherish the good moments of your life :)

Good idea although the design could be smoother. One big issue is that the images you can add to a memory or links to the actual photos on your phone, meaning if you delete an image the app has to show just placeholders. Particular problem these days when cloud storage apps offer to delete local files after upload.
It's good . but almost everything is not free you can't record voice or saving videos, but if you want an app just to write things and memories and adding pictures to it with some categories and tags and also you can save it to your gallery , that's will be a good application to choose.
Was really impressed with the free version so I got the premium and love the "mosaics" feature. Just started with gathering all my favorite memories and putting them on the widget. For me it is worth every penny I spent. Really well done. Will be a lot easier now to find pics of my favorite moments. Thank you.
Great for what it does. Bought premium to support the app, it's so good. Just wish there was some form of in-app collaboration and sharing (not just screenshots or text) so that I could share cards with my partner who created these memories with me, and so she could edit/add to the cards.
Most awesome! I love this app! Helps me to focus on the good stuff and I love reviwing my old jar contribuions. My only problem is remembering to use it!!! A repeating notification or alarm would be useful. ***EDIT***- I found an alert in settings, just as the developer commented below. Thank you!!!!
Love this app EXCEPT the photos disappear if you delete the original photo from yr phone 😪 Is there any way around this? Simple & easy to use, adding multiple pics is awesome, filtering fantastic, choosing yr own categories great & the layout is lovely!!
Jar of Awesome is amazeballs. Best way to remember happy memories. Perfect app, too good to be free. Happy to subscribe so it never disappears! So cool, thanks for creating this
I like using this app because when I have a good thing happen, I can quickly note it down. Then when I am sad, I can open the app and look at all the good things that have happened.
That the app doesn't copy your photos but just link to photos in your gallery is so bad.... I use diary app because want to empty my gallery....
I love this app. It is fun and encourages you to concentrate on the happier side of life. It was just what I was looking for to record good moments.
there should be a free grid view of our notes.. But love the app. Its plain and simple.
Excellent idea for staying positive. Love it with all the features!
I just love this app. It is gorgeous and amazing. Working wirh this app is going to be such joy. Please keep up rhe good work and Thank You
Before I gave it give it 5 stars but reduced it 2 because when you transfer devices the pictures don't show up
Great way to keep happy memories. Can be exported to a file
Teach me to see at least a blessing for a day because God gives me so many blessings each day that I can't remember. Every recorded blessing helped me to see God's love during my selfish time.
Best thing ever.. I can add voice clip photos i love it 😀
I really like this for journaling and reflection.
niceeeee app free drop the paid price pleassssse
Exactly what I was looking for in an app!! Fantastic! Thank you!
Best thing ever I love it rather then keeping a journal this is better x
It is really awesome
I HATE it
Love it
I so wanted a gratitude app with a "show one random moment" feature, and this has it. It also works perfectly and has a developer who responds quickly to questions/issues. Highly recommended! June 19 2019 update - continues to be a great and perfectly functioning app!
Fantastically simple app to record good moments and then reflect them back again. Helps gratitude and positive thinking.
Later.....See
This a fun and colorful way to keep track of your happy moments and daily gratitude; I liked it enough to get the premium features, you have a choice of an individual feature or pick 1 out of 2 mini packs, or the whole enchilada for a very reasonable price. There are loads of personalization options and an awesome black theme. I HIGHLY recommend!
