Savor positive moments through mindful reflection.
One of the most effective tools against depression is to actively search for, register and relive positive moments. This app helps you notice and remember the good moments in everyday life, which are often forgotten when we're struggling.
Available for iPhone
When you're struggling mentally, it can be easy to overlook the good moments that exist in everyday life. SlowSavor is a tool that helps you actively seek out, register, and relive positive experiences.
The app is based on positive affect therapy, an approach grounded in clinical research that focuses on strengthening positive feelings and experiences. By writing down positive events and going through them with all your senses, you build a bank of good memories that counteracts negative thought patterns.
Look back on the week and identify small or large positive experiences.
Note your mood before and after thinking about the experience (1-10 scale).
Visualize what you saw, heard, felt, smelled or tasted.
Use the list of positive feelings to describe the experience.
Write down thoughts and bodily responses.
Note small or large positive events from your day or week.
Measure mood before and after reflecting on the experience.
Relive experiences through all five senses.
Use curated lists of positive emotions to describe your experience.
Clean interface with multiple themes that don't distract.
Look back on your positive moments when you need them.
Positive affect therapy is based on research showing that actively reliving positive memories can help with depression and anxiety. By using all your senses and consciously noticing positive feelings, you strengthen the brain's ability to register the good in life.
Everything you do in the app is stored only locally on your iPhone. We have no servers storing your information, and we have no access to data on your device.
Your mindfulness journey is completely private and yours alone.

The app is completely free — SlowSavor is and will always be free. If you want to support development and keep the app available for everyone, you can do so via voluntary tips in the app. But it's not necessary — all features are available to everyone.
