Become significantly happier with only 1 minute of effort / day.

How does it work?

- Write down up to 5 good things that happened to you today, your "Highlights". Be as concise as you can, maybe only using 2-3 words each.
- Sort your Highlights so the one that “made your day" is at the top of the list.
- Rate your day 1 to 5 stars according to your overall happiness.

That´s it. All you have to do.

These are the effects:

- First you will start to notice and remember the many little things that are easily missed otherwise.
- Then you will discover what the top things are that make you happy consistently.
- Finally you will actively search for and create these Highlights in your life.

This app respects your time, data, privacy, intelligence, taste and money:

Time :
Using Highlights is very fast: Between using the landscape keyboard and the “Save & New”-Button you will be done in 1 minute each day. The app can also remind you with a nice sound at whatever time is convenient for you.

Data :
Your data belongs to you: Export all of your Highlights & ratings in iCal-format at any time for backup, to view them in most calendar applications or to print them to treasure and keep in a safe place forever.

Privacy :
Nothing is ever sent anywhere, your Highlights & ratings stay on your iPhone exclusively where they are encrypted.
You are the valued customer here, not the product!
You can set the app to require your fingerprint / face to open to keep your data away from kids, your spouse or anyone else you gave your phone to.

Intelligence :
Why take this seriously? A “positive journal” / “positive data log” is a standard method used in depression therapy to increase happiness.
Highlights is a very simple and usable form of this, optimized for daily usability by everyone.
