Your Gratitude journal for iOS
Thankful for the Small Things in Life
A beautifully simple gratitude journaling app for iPhone and iPad. Record what you are thankful for, track your progress, and sync freely across all your devices
Gratitude Without the Guilt
Gratitude journaling should feel like a moment of calm, not another task on your to do list.
Sound Familiar?
Gratitude journaling should be simple, but it often is not. Many apps ask for more than they give back, adding complexity where there should be calm taking away your focus on what you're thankful for
- Accounts and personal data just to get started
- Paying premium prices for features you will never use
- Notifications that do not know when to stop
- The pressure to journal every single day or lose your streak
- Losing your journal entries if you switch apps or devices
A Simpler Way
Tushti does one thing well: simple, private gratitude journaling where no accounts are required to get started. No data collection. No feature bloat. Just open, reflect, and close at a pace that suits your lifestyle.
- Record up to 10 moments of gratitude per day
- Free iCloud sync across all your devices
- Respectful reminders that stop after two nudges
- Your rhythm, your way, with flexible scheduling
- Fair pricing with a lifetime option available
Your Practice at Your Pace
Most apps guilt you into journaling every single day. Research from UC Berkeley shows that writing once or twice a week actually produces better outcomes than daily journaling.
Tushti lets you choose your own schedule, whether that is every day, a few times a week, or just once. No streaks broken, no guilt trips.
Free iCloud Sync for all
Your entries are synced across your devices via your own iCloud account keeping your data private and secure. Write on one device and pick up exactly where you left off on another.
Most gratitude apps lock cross device sync behind an expensive annual subscription. Tushti includes it free for every user.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know before you start your gratitude practice with Tushti.
What are the system requirements?
Tushti requires iOS 17.0 or later and runs natively on both iPhone and iPad. The app is lightweight with no third party SDKs, so it installs quickly and takes up minimal storage on your device.
Is there a subscription or can I pay once?
Both. Tushti offers monthly, annual, and lifetime (£49.99) options. The lifetime plan is a single payment for permanent access with no recurring charges. All future updates are included at no extra cost.
What can I do for free?
Free users can add up to 3 entries per day and view their last 7 days of entries. Editing and deleting entries is always available. iCloud sync, light and dark mode, and all app updates are included at no cost.
What happens when I first download the app?
You get 14 days of full, unrestricted access to every feature, including up to 10 daily entries, complete history, insights, and milestones. After that, you can continue using the free tier or subscribe to unlock the full experience.
Does it sync across devices?
Yes. Tushti uses your own iCloud account to sync entries automatically across all your Apple devices. Write on your iPhone, pick up where you left off on your iPad. This is free for every user, not a premium feature. No sign up required and no third party servers involved.
Is my data private?
Completely. Tushti collects no personal data whatsoever. There are no accounts, no third party services, no analytics SDKs, and no tracking of any kind. Your entries are stored locally on your device and in your own iCloud account. We cannot see any of your information.
How many entries can I add per day?
Premium users can record up to 10 (ten) moments of gratitude per day. Free users can add up to 3 (three). This is based on research showing that 3 to 10 items is the optimal range for continued gratitude journaling.
Can I edit or delete past entries?
Yes, always. You can go back to any date and edit or delete entries regardless of whether you are on a free or paid plan. You can also add entries for days you missed. Your entries are yours to manage.
Do I need to journal every day?
Not at all. During onboarding, you choose your own schedule. Daily, a few times a week, or once a week. Research suggests that journaling once or twice a week can actually be more effective than daily. Tushti respects your rhythm, and your streaks are calculated based on your chosen schedule, not a rigid daily count.
What are the notifications like?
Tushti sends a reminder on your scheduled journaling days at the time you choose. If you miss a few days, it sends two gentle nudges and then stops completely. No daily nagging, no guilt trips, no passive aggressive push notifications. You can adjust your reminder time or disable notifications entirely at any time in Settings.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Tushti works fully offline for reading and writing entries. No connection needed. When you reconnect, iCloud syncs your changes automatically.
Does it work on iPad?
Yes. Tushti has been thoughtfully adapted for the larger iPad screen with properly sized text, icons, and controls. It is not just a scaled up iPhone app.
What does "Tushti" mean?
Tushti (तुष्टि) is a Sanskrit word meaning 'contentment' or 'satisfaction.' It reflects the app's purpose: helping you find contentment by noticing what is already good in your life. We chose the name because gratitude is really about feeling content with what you already have.
Can I back up my data?
Your entries are automatically backed up via iCloud when sync is enabled, which it is by default. You can also export all your data from the Settings screen at any time. If you disable iCloud sync, entries are stored locally on your device only.
Why so few features?
By design. Tushti focuses entirely on helping you record and reflect on gratitude. There are no meditation timers, no AI coaching, no vision boards, and no community forums. Fewer features means a faster, calmer experience that is easier to stick with.
What languages are available?
Tushti is available in 12 languages: English (US and British), Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, German, French, Korean, Italian, Dutch, and Russian. Additional languages may be added in future updates based on user feedback and demand.
