# Gratitude Genie

> Gratitude Genie is an AI-powered gratitude journal and mood tracking app for iOS and Android featuring Gratina, a conversational AI companion that helps users build a meaningful gratitude practice through conversation, mood tracking, monthly memories, and weekly insights.

## About

Gratitude Genie combines conversational AI journaling with visual mood tracking, AI-generated monthly memory cards, weekly emotional intelligence reports, and a 5-level gratitude depth progression system. Unlike traditional journal apps that present a blank page, Gratitude Genie features Gratina — an AI companion who guides users through their gratitude practice with thoughtful prompts, remembers their personal story across sessions, and adapts to their emotional state.

The app is developed by Indie Genie Labs (Prashanth Vaidya) and is available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Free to download with an optional premium subscription.
