Orca (formerly Happyfeed) is a shareable photo and video diary built on the practice of gratitude journaling. Post daily positive moments to improve your mood and focus more on the bright side. Plus, you'll be creating an record of all your best memories. Keep it private or use groups as a mini social network - sharing select memories with friends and family. • Add multiple photos, video & location • Widgets: Daily throwbacks and shared memories • Group sharing for couples, friends & family • Unique prompts, quotes, and fun facts every day • Gratitude Jar to view random past posts • All posts are 100% private by default • Tag your best days with an emoji • Unlimited days you can post for free • Passcode & lock screen with Face ID • PDF/CSV Export for printing (Plus only) Explore Your Past Memories - After one week, you can view memories in your gratitude journal from a week ago. This period grows to months and even years. You can also see random moments using the Gratitude Jar. Each month, create a recap video of your favorite photos and clips. Journaling Together - Pods are private groups for sharing memories and send emoji reactions. Send only selected photos, videos, and text to your friends, partner, or family. It's perfect for long distance relationships and faraway family. Unique Reminders Each Day - Every day we write a custom prompt to help you remember to record your feelings. It could be a quote about happiness, a fact about the day, or a joke to brighten your day and put you in a happy mood. Benefits of Gratitude Journaling - Gratitude journaling is a simple and easy self-care practice that helps reduce stress and anxiety while improving your overall happiness. In even a few seconds, the practice of actively reflecting on 3 good things or what you are grateful for can help you refocus on the positives in life. Private Diary On All Your Devices - We also offer a web version where you can upload and view your past moments. Your moments and photos are privately synced to your account so you’ll never lose them. Plus Subscribers can download their journal in PDF or CSV format. Secret & Secure Self-Love - Your moments are only visible to you and never posted publicly. All cloud syncing is securely encrypted using HTTPS endpoints. You can create a passcode lock for extra security (Face ID supported). Your Account - An account is required to keep your moments safe and to allow you to view and manage them across multiple devices. If you lose your device, you won’t lose all your happy memories. You may choose to share your location to provide you with meaningful data on the places, people, and things that help you find happiness. Orca Plus Subscription - Our Plus subscription provides ongoing access to features like: • Unlimited Calendar with map and photo diary grid • Journal export and download as PDF or CSV • Search - Find keywords in your memories • Post up to 10 good things per day • Add up to 4 photos per post • 30 second videos • Unlimited editing Plus is available as a monthly (charged once per month) or yearly (charged once per year) subscription.

Changed my life!
07/03/2022

Like other reviews, I love this app and feel it has changed my life. I have been in therapy for a long time. I have my ups and downs, but this app has made the quickest improvement in my mood. I love the photo feature! It makes looking at my happiness feed more satisfying, it forces my camera roll to be more joyful, and by the act of taking a photo and looking at them, i get exponentially more joy out of the app/happiness reason. It makes the happiness feel more concrete, tangible, like, look at this real actual moment in time that caused you joy, it is less fleeting than a positive thought, it allows you hold onto the joy more. Because of the app I go through my day really seeking out a positive, which really makes me spend more of my headspace on something good, which has a truly positive effect on my mood. I have only been using it for about a month or two and I started to notice a change a few weeks in. I love the reminders of what made me happy a month ago, I hope over time it will give me notification for 6 months ago, a year ago, 3 months, etc. Normally a month the item is so recent I haven’t had the chance to forget it. which i guess is good but it would like to get a random reminder of what made you happy six months or a year ago. I paid for the full version and it is entirely worth it. I’ve had days that i didn’t think were that great but then when I realized I counted up the maximum, ten good things that day, it changed my perspective on how the day went.

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review, and it's really incredible to hear that the app has had a positive effect on you! 💜 I also find myself taking photo much more intentionally with the idea that they will end up in my nightly posts (and sometimes have to explain myself to friends). Regarding the reminders, you're right that they will get larger as you keep using Happyfeed. Eventually you'll see 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, etc. 😄Thank you for trying out the Plus subscription, I really appreciate your support and am glad that the features are worthwhile! If there's ever anything else I can help with please feel free to email me at matt@happyfeed.co

I think the app is wonderful. It’s simple yet such a great tool. It’s a good resource to help you focus on the positive things in each day. Even on your worst day, just by naming 3 good things can help improve your mood. The 3 good things could be simple, like the weather felt nice outside today. I got to sleep in a little later today. Or I was able to afford McDonalds breakfast this morning instead of cooking or worse, not being able to eat at all. Appreciate the little positive things about life. I love how the app lets you add pictures and a little short entry, but also an emoji you can choose to represent your day. Once your entered enough, it creates these cute slideshow videos. Also, you can join pods and can choose which entries you would like to share or not. You can also create your own pod. For example, I made one called “Happy Girls are the Prettiest,” which I made for a group of girls like me. Maybe a mom. Maybe someone struggling with depression or low self esteem. It’s my motivational entries I share in this pod to remind myself & others than inner beauty is worth so much more than outer beauty. But anyways, YES YES YES, I Would definitely recommend to all!

Amazing personal journal

The streak feature is what really gets me to write everyday. I want to be able to look back at my life and remember everything. from the minute things i do during the day along side the pictures i take. i’m in the 500s now. and i can now look back a year and see what i was doing on each specific day. Each entry max’s out at 560 with 4 photos or one video but you can do up to 10 entries per day. The calendar view is cool to look at as you fill a whole month. If you forget to write. It doesn’t matter how long you go without writing. If you go on a week vacation and don’t have time. You get to keep your streak as long as you enter the days in the chronological order. Never skip a day. There’s also a map view that shows where the geological data of the photo was taken. Cool to see all the places i’ve been. it doesn’t track you just logs the data in the photo if it even has my favorite feature is the face ID lock. let’s me feel more comfortable writing more personal stuff in my personal daily journal. Amazing app. I recommend to all my friends

Sooo cool to hear you've reached 500 days of journaling!! 🤩🤩🤩I really appreciate the thoughtful review and mentioning pretty much all the best features! The calendar is especially awesome when you have years of memories to explore. It's great to see you enjoying so many different aspects of Happyfeed 😊If it's within the last two weeks, you actually can enter moments out of order to maintain your streak - it's a pretty recent thing and the streak will look broken until the whole "chain" of days is completed. If you do try this out and it breaks your streak for whatever reason - email me at matt@happyfeed.co and I can repair it too. Little bugs can break streaks occasionally too, and I'm 100% here to fix it in those cases.Thanks again and hope keep finding Happyfeed to be a perfect place to track those little moments in your life 🎉

Update: Just hit 2400 days of gratitude. This practice has absolutely changed my life. It has changed how I view people and the world around me. Absolutely worth it. And now that I have 6 years of memories to look back on each day I love it even more. If you doom scroll and feel unhappy change your habits and begin curating your own happyfeed and it will absolutely help you to become happier and have more joy. Wow, just hit 842 days of gratitude with this app. I have used the free version but upgraded to the paid version after about a year. I LOVE the ability to add pictures (either version) to my gratitude practice. This has basically become my own little Instagram feed and I love that I can scroll through without the distractions from other people. My spouse has commented that this practice has changed me, and that my outlook on life and the way I view the world is so much more positive and encouraging. ⭐️I would 100% recommend this app. I have told so many family members about it. It has helped me stay true to my goal of finding the special moments each day. I also love the search feature. You can search by name, date or emoji. I assigned each of my family members an emoji and it’s so fun to go back to show my kids the gratitude moments I have that they are involved with. I have not yet printed but I am looking forward to doing that soon and will have a review on the process and picture quality.

Quick update with performance enhancements for rendering shared memories on the Pods screen. Scrolling is smoother than ever. Recently, we've also updated Pods and sharing: - New options button on shared moments in the Pods tab and shared moment detail view - Options include editing sharing (your memories) or reporting content (for others) - making it easier to flag inappropriate content - Updated the location button position to not block the sharing button when viewing a day Thank you for making Orca a part of your daily routine!
