Tracking Your Happiness Helps You Understand What Makes You Happy.
iOS: Happiness seems like a fairly simple emotion, but it can actually be quite a complex concept. The goal of Track Your Happiness is to understand happiness a little better by analyzing yours.
The app is actually part of a research project launched by Harvard researcher Matt Killingsworth. It’s more than just a traditional mood tracker ; it looks more like a mood analyzer . The purpose of the app (and project) is to better understand what causes your own happiness.
To use the app, register with your email address. Then answer a few general questions about how you feel:
- How satisfied are you with your life in general?
- How do you feel on average in the moments of your life?
After that, the app will periodically send you alerts asking what you are doing at the moment, how you are feeling, and so on. He will ask if you should do what the task you are doing and if you really want to do the task. After a few such sessions, you will receive a report that will give you an idea of not only when you are happy (which is what a regular mood tracker does), but also what correlates with (and perhaps even causes) your happiness.
The app is completely free and does not require money later and does not bombard you with any ads, and this is because it is only for research. Unfortunately, this also means that there is no Android version in development. Of course, this also means that the app will use your demographic information and responses in the study, but your personal information will never be shared and the app protects your data with SSL encryption ( here’s their complete privacy policy ).
