Q. Does gratitude journaling actually work?
UC Davis and other positive-psychology studies found that people writing weekly gratitude notes scored 25%+ higher on well-being and significantly lower on depression. Effects typically appear after 3-4 weeks.
Q. How many entries per day?
Three is plenty. Trying to write more often becomes a chore that breaks the habit. Even small notes like "a colleague bought me coffee" count.
Q. Can I write the same thing daily?
Yes, as long as it's specific. "Grateful for my family" is weaker than "Grateful my partner walked with me this morning" — specificity wires stronger positive signals.
Q. Where is my data stored?
Locally in your browser only. No server, no cloud sync. Clearing browser data wipes it, so screenshot important entries to back up.
Q. Do the stars disappear?
No — they accumulate so the night sky grows over time, giving you a visual map of your gratitude pattern.
Q. What if I can't think of anything?
Start small. "The sunlight felt nice", "the food was warm" — sensory experiences are valid gratitude.
