Gratitude First

Your apps can wait. You can't. Gratitude First gives you a reason to pause. Start each day with one moment of gratitude - it takes less than a minute to choose yourself.

Ever feel like your phone gets more attention than you do?

Gratitude First flips the script. It gently locks your distracting apps until you answer one simple gratitude question. No long journal entries. No complicated setup. Just one moment of reflection - less than 60 seconds - and your phone unlocks.

Over time, those micro-moments build into something powerful: a daily gratitude practice that actually sticks, because you never have to remember to do it.

HOW IT WORKS

Choose which apps to lock during your morning routine, evening wind-down, or both. When you open a locked app, Gratitude First shows you a thoughtful prompt. Write your answer - even a single sentence counts - and everything unlocks. That's it.

Your gratitude entries are saved automatically into a journal you can revisit anytime. Watch your streak grow and celebrate milestones along the way.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

・ You don't open Gratitude First - it comes to you. The app meets you exactly where your habits already are: reaching for your phone. ・ Prompts are curated across three tracks - Gentle, Balanced, and Grounded - so the questions evolve with your practice. Some mornings you'll reflect on small joys. Other days, you'll explore deeper self-gratitude. ・ An emergency unlock is always available. No question asked, no guilt. This is your practice, on your terms. ・ Your journal entries stay on your device. We never see what you write. Your gratitude is yours alone.

YOUR DAILY PRACTICE, BUILT IN ・ Flexible schedule: set your own morning and evening lock windows ・ Curated prompts across multiple categories and difficulty levels ・ Personalized affirmations after every entry ・ Streak tracking with milestone celebrations at 7, 14, 30, 60, 100 days and more ・ Mood tracking to notice patterns over time ・ iCloud backup so your journal follows you to a new device ・ Share your streak (never your entries) with friends

BUILT WITH CARE Gratitude First uses Apple's Screen Time framework to manage app access. You choose which apps to lock. You set the schedule. You can change everything from Settings at any time. The app works entirely for you - not the other way around.

Getting closer to yourself starts with one question.
