Gladbox is the fastest way to capture what you're glad about — a single box, always open, always ready. Most gratitude apps make you sign in, pick a mood, follow a prompt, or unlock a streak before you can write a single word. Gladbox skips all of it: open the app, type one glad thought, done. That's the whole interaction. WHY GLADBOX IS DIFFERENT • One screen, always — the capture box sits right at the top, no separate 'add entry' flow to navigate to. • A Home Screen Quick Action opens straight into the capture field — long-press the icon, type, done. • Fully offline — no account, no server, no sync. Every entry stays on your device. • On-device theme tagging — Gladbox quietly notices when an entry mentions a person, place, or organization (using Apple's on-device NaturalLanguage framework, never the cloud) so you can browse by theme later. • No streaks, no guilt, no mood wheels — it's a tool for capturing thoughts, not a program to keep up with. INCLUDED • Unlimited glad thoughts, unlimited history • Timeline grouped by day, with search • Home Screen Quick Action for one-tap capture • Light and dark mode, fully offline GLADBOX PRO (one-time unlock) • Browse by theme — filter your timeline by People, Places, or Organizations • Export your whole journal as a Markdown file • A custom daily reminder, at the one time you choose • Hands-free capture — add a glad thought via Siri, the Shortcuts app, or the Action Button, without opening the app Privacy: no data collection, no tracking, no account, no network access of any kind.

Founder quote

Gladboxis built around one principle: your data stays on your device. We don't want it, we don't store it, and we don't need it to make the app work. Everything that can run locally, does.”
— Peter Zhang, solo developer, Obelisk Club
