Orca (formerly Happyfeed)

Shared Gratitude Journal App

Visit Orca (formerly Happyfeed)

Orca is a gratitude journaling app for recording positive moments each day, with private entries that can include text, photos and short videos. It is designed to make the habit of reflecting on good things easier to maintain, while also giving users ways to revisit past memories through daily throwbacks, a shakeable Happiness Jar, photo grids and monthly movies. Entries are private by default, with optional sharing to groups or individuals.

The app includes Pods for group sharing, widgets for Memories and Group Shares, weekly summaries and monthly recaps, and a Mashup Movie Maker that combines photos and videos. It supports photo library integration, Face ID passcode protection, and data export in CSV or PDF. Orca is available on iOS, Android, iPad and web, with sync across devices.

Orca is aimed at individuals who want to build a gratitude journaling habit, as well as couples, families and close friends who want to share selected memories. The app offers a free version without ads, with an optional Plus subscription for additional features.
