Project Joy

Microjournaling · Alpha version

The little things?
There’s nothing bigger.

Project Joy is a microjournaling app for whatever you notice, feel, or are still figuring out.

Something you want to remember. Something that’s been weighing on you. Or something you just thought was neat.

A picture, a word, or more. That’s enough.

A view into the Project Joy treehouse at evening, with three warmly lit rooms among its branches and roots.
The alpha’s treehouse artwork is AI-generated. We plan to replace it with work by an illustrator for the full release.

A look inside

A treehouse with three rooms.

Keep a moment in whichever one fits.

The Treetop, with a hanging chair, telescope, and lanterns.

The Treetop

Joy, gratitude, and little delights.

The Nook, with an armchair, a writing desk, and a fireplace.

The Nook

Discoveries, everyday thoughts, and things you’re still figuring out.

The Den, with a cushioned daybed, shelves of jars, and a garden pot among the roots.

The Den

A place for worries, frustrations, and things weighing on you.

The Den’s garden

And sometimes,
something grows.

What you keep in the Den rests in the compost, out of sight. You can open it whenever you like.

If something good comes of it later, write a new moment in the Treetop or Nook and link the two. A flower in the Den’s garden opens their story.

If nothing grows, that’s okay too.

An example

In the Den

“Didn't get the job. I thought the interview went well. They didn't even give me any feedback.”

Later, the same person

A new moment in the Treetop

“I got the job! This feels like a much better fit than the one I didn't get. The team has such good energy. I'm excited to start.”

Two moments, linked by a flower in the Den.

How it works

Keep a moment

Write it the way you’d tell your best friend. You :). Some moments you’ll come back to. Some you just needed to say.

The What did you notice? screen with a few lines typed, a photo attached, and the Keep button.

Look back

Your moments, three ways. Flip through one day at a time, see a whole month at a glance, or browse them like a photo album.

The Album view of October, with three kept moments shown as tiles.

The campfire

Moments shared anonymously. Read what others have left, sit with one for a while, or leave your own.

The campfire screen with one paper card over the fire that reads: Painted the little bird that sits on my balcony every morning. First painting I’ve finished in ten years.

Start with one little thing.

A picture, a word, or more. That’s enough.
